Jayden Do u think that "Dewey" is a good name or does he look like a Ginger or something because he's ginger?


Chris Ward Haha, I actually didn't like the name Dewey too much. It just always reminded me of Jack Black's character in School of Rock! Loved the book though, as a cat owner I can understand a lot of the feelings in it.


Laura They chose the name Dewey because he was found in a library book drop. Most public libraries still use the Dewey Decimal system. His full name was "Dewey Readmore Books," which I thought was clever for a library cat.


Jayden But if they didn't choose Dewey, what name do u think they could've chose or what name would u pick for him?

Yeah I think it's really clever too.
But I don't like the name Dewey by itself. I can't think of anything off to top of my head that I would want to name him though!


Patricia Emerson Deci (sehort for decimal), Libry (short for library), Reasee (short for research), Shakespeare,Poe,or Prosie, but I personally think Dewey is a perfect name for him.


WinterGalaxy I like Dewey.
It's the perfect name for him.


Patricia Emerson I also think dewey is a perfect name. But otherwise i would say something like bookster.


Kathy Broyles I like the name Dewey and it was perfect. Of course, i'm a librarian, so I got it. Marc would have been ok too. That is a good library name.


Patricia Emerson I agree with the people who say dewey is a perfect name for him as i said in my 2 previous posts, & i do like the name dewey.


Patricia Emerson In fact i think i'll name my next stuffed animal dewey.

Dan Klinefelter If he were a female cat, how about "Paige Turner"?


Laura I love the name Paige Turner for a female library cat!

Ira Therebel I think for a library cat this was a perfect name! :)


Marcy I'm not a huge fan of the name "Dewey," generally speaking, but it did seem perfect for his situation.

That said, I love the suggestion of Paige Turner. Fantastic, FANTASTIC name. :)
