Well not quite but in an upcoming Facebook post the University page will be running the message
“UC is trialling a new Feline Study Buddy programme! Students visiting the University of Canterbury Library will be able to choose from a catalogue of 24 cats and kittens to keep them company while they study. For more information, visit _______”.
Which will then inform them it is in fact an April fools joke! Its a light hearted collaboration between the Library and UC’s social media accounts that will run for 1 – 2 days so if you do get any inquiries please let the students know that unfortunately it was a joke and that whilst they might love a kitten to study with, they aren’t available at this stage.
Thanks,

That is fabulous !!!
I always felt we needed a cat at Central, and was most disappointed to not be working the day a cat strolled through the automatic doors and up to Level 3…
They might decide to prank us in return and start bringing kittens into the library in their backpacks…
Cool. I’d be in for that. A kitten patting room would suit me fine.
