"The feline heart of literary Park Slope is back at home," DNAInfo noted in reporting that Tiny the Usurper, the cat that has lived in Brooklyn's Community Bookstore for the past seven years, "went missing Monday night but was back at the store Tuesday evening." The missing kitty saga was chronicled on Tiny's personal Instagram feed.
"He's back at the store safe and sound," said co-owner Ezra Goldstein, adding that news of the missing cat "went so viral that a woman we know on First Street saw a notice on Park Slope Parents, spotted an unfamiliar cat in her backyard, and gave us a call.... We are extremely attached to him. He's integral to our identity. He's better known than any of us, that's for sure."
Staffer Michael Bender noted that Tiny has returned to his usual spot, "flopped over the keyboard" at the store.
