City of cats

The city of cats and the city of men exist one inside the other, but they are not the same city. Italo Calvino

If I'm not mistaken, the most beautiful bookshop - There are always two or three cats asleep among the books!!

Cat, books and Venice combined - absolute Heaven!! But I can't think where it is - Help, Bert, because I'll have to visit it when next we go there, in October.

I've met that cat!

island girl gave the right answer, Andante. It calls itself (with some justification) "the most beautiful bookshop in the world." It's in a small campo at the end of a long street which is named after a beautiful Lady.

that is a very healthy and masterful looking cat. and what good taste this feline has in its choice of settings.

Cats would not agree with the sentiments of yesterday's post. However, for all I know, they might think vegetarians taste better...

Oh I recognise this place, down Calle Longa Santa Maria Formosa? Well worth a visit for book (and cat) lovers, friendly staff too

Nice, Pierre—I like the cat IN the crate. And good clue, Bert. I know exactly where this is now too.
