There’s something about the connection of cats and books that runs a thread through history and continues to be seen through contemporary times. Perhaps it’s that cats are solitary creatures or that
Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sandra Lee unloaded their longtime Mount Kisco, NY, home right before the governor was hit with controversy.
