Can someone please volunteer to contact every single person so we can stop this debate? Just a quick search of “Mr. Kat” shows over 10,000 results. Good luck!

We have been using a character called Mr. Kat since 1989 as part of our marketing campaign. I must ask that any use of Mr. Kat on this blog be terminated or we will pursue litigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Please stop. Thank you.

I talked to a IP lawyer and he said it is mine. If you want to use this signature please pay me. I am a poor librarian.

Nice to see the conference helped you out.

From my first conference experience:
Lots of free drinks
Free lunches and some dinners
New friends (both professional and personal)
A job.

It’s s-t-i-n-k-y!!

When you go to one of those rare well-thought-out, substantive sessions at a library conference *and* the presenter is cute and single it’s well worth it. I’m a lucky man.

It’s more of a day of thought – like Valentine’s Day. So there is no religious basis for a lawsuit.

That statement offends me too. I am adding you, the AL, and the Library Journal to my list of people I am suing!
