  • I just finished reading 'Dewey' and cried my eyes out! it was a wonderful story - Dewey was such an inspiration! If you haven't read the book, please do, and share in the wonderful memory of a remarkable cat.

  • i luv dewey!!!

  • thumbs up if you read the book

  • I SAW THE DEWEY CARRY!

  • i read the book and when he died i cried so hard. my cat phinny looks exactly like him so i just hugged my cat. i love u dewey!

  • That is the only book that made me cry at the end...that and momo. That was sad too.

  • Just finished reading 'Dewey' about 5 minutes ago and decided to search for him on here...How exciting to see this clip! To see Vicki and to see some of the things that were mentioned in the book, right here on youtube, is so amazing!! How great to see his sweet and gentle nature....wish I could've met him in real life, but am thankful for his book and videos like these. What a beautiful cat!

  • I read the book and it was great by the end where they mention that Dewey died I was in tears

  • I'm envious of the people who met him in real life I wish I could've.

  • i can`t believe that dewey died 5 years ago i wished i had been there to see dewey!

    I MISS YOU DEWEY!

    (even though i don`t know the cat in real life....)

  • me : mom i need a gun

    mom: why do you need it?

    me: because 3 people DOES NOT like dewey!!!

  • thumbs up if you googled this after reading the book 'Dewey :)

  • 3 people killed dewey and i dropkicked them

  • Dewey, one of my most favorite books to read.

  • One of the people who disliked this is prone to cuteness. The other is going to hell.

  • I read the book, how much I cry....

  • 2 people haven`t gotten dewey on their knees

  • Are cats not good enough for u ?!?! i looove dewey!!! "a gentle dog i can understand,But a cat? i just had to see it for myself!" shes a silly woman!

  • Oh I wish I could have met him!

  • 'This I gotta see!' what on earth? Of course cats are loveable. Silly reporter.

  • It is a great story. We won't forget Dewey Readmore Books.

  • Why wouldn't a cat be lovable? Obviously the lady talking never had one. I have two cats and they're both very affectionate, funny, vivacious and fascinating. I intend to adopt 2 more cats later, when I move out of my mom's house. I can't live without a cat!

  • i just finished reading Dewey's book and i couldnt stop cry at all. even if he was alive before i was even born and never got a changes to meet him. im really glad Vicky wrote about it because if i didnt read this book i would have never have know about dewey so thank you so much for interducing me to Dewey even if i didnt get to see him person

  • My cat's name is Dewey too. I read the book on him and it was so cool!

  • BTW. 2:02 is priceless!

  • As the proud "Dad" to six furry "babies". Dewey obviously struck a cord with me. Dogs are a man's best asset. Cats are everyone's best FRIEND!

  • I just read the book and thought I would search the Internet to see if any of the film that was mentioned in the book was available. What a great addition this is to the book

  • Dewey was a wonderful cat, clearly (I've just read the book), but it should not surprise anyone that a cat could be so lovable. Cat behavior mirrors how their human partners treat them. I have had four cats live to 18 and their eventual passings were difficult for me to experience (I held them in my arms). But their lives were a blessing to me, as Dewey was to, apparently, everyone. What a touching story. I hope everyone is moved to adopt a cat and love it.

  • thats why cats are better than dogs

  • oh so thats how he looked like i am reading the book right now and i can`t imagine

    how cold he was when he was in the drop box

  • i love the dewey books ^^

    deweys amazing

    R.I.P

  • I cried for 2 days after reading the last chapter. We had to put one of our old, sick cats down, so I know how hard it was for Vicki!

  • I've just finished this wonderful book, and I can relate so totally because my gorgeous ginger boy called Basil, who is now nearly 18 is slowly deteriorating, just like Dewey did in his old age. I cannot bear the thought of even one day without him. May Dewey's memory live on.

  • I love the book. It made me laugh. It made me cry, especially the end. Knowing that cat was a privilege to all people who got to meet him.

  • and the ones that dislikes this is retarded fucking bitches XD

  • wow im reading the book and a like it :) vvary good book

  • How can someone dislike this! how can some one dislike dewey!

  • one guy don't pay respect for dewey

    thats bad

    who agree with me

  • What are the books called??

  • @postie2014 "Dewey - The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World" by Vicki Myron is his biography. Between the gorgeous photos and the author's warm, instantly likeable writing, you might almost feel the ttile character curled up in your lap as you read it. And yes, I cried as well. Losing a beloved animal is the worst thing in the world.

  • @cropcircle82 a subsitute teacher came from iowa and he was dewey's papa. and he told us the storyy.

  • @cropcircle82 a subsitute teacher came from iowa and he was dewey's papa. and he told us the storyy. that cat is really cute :p sad. i think im gonna read the book...

  • i read it twice and cried both times but seeing this has really made me get to grips with how real the whole thing was and now i think i'm gonna cry again...

  • I have the book, i'm still working on to the end, but I love it so much! I like the Dewey Carry XD

  • im reading dewey right now

  • RIP Dewey... I will miss you so much and though I've never met you, you look wonderful and so pretty. Love you so much. I never want my cat Felix to die. Ive had him since I've been 6 and now I'm 10! It's like cats attached themselves to your heart and when they die you can't let go.

  • Read this when it first came out and FELL IN LOVE with Dewey. Beautiful true story. Laughed and cried and it's a book I won't forget. Told many friends about it and they've bought it and/or read it. Great story - beautiful cat - thank you Vicky Myron.

  • I just finshed reading "Dewey" today. It was a very funny and touching story. I am a dewey fan. He was an adorable cat and loved the library. I started to cry at the end though, but over all a very good book. Wait, there is another word for Dewey Readmore Books, amazing.

  • can someone tell me about the book? i would like to buy it and read it but i want to know more about it before i do

  • Chorei, chorei e chorei. LINDA história de amor, carinho, compreensão e amizade.

  • Almost finished the book now. What a lovely cat. My own cat, Miffy, currently 18 months old, was abandoned by her mother up near the temple in my town. The monks gave me this wet, shivering kitten which I didn't think would last the night. She did, and now she rules my life!

  • i know the wat it feels like when an pet ya had for years i had my cat for bout 12 and an half years when she was gone its been over 2 years since shes been gone n there aint an day that goes by that i dont miss her losin an pet is hard n heartbreakin especly if ya love n cared for it n been wit ya through the hards times in ya life

  • Ah, I love Dewey!!

  • Brilliant movie and act,recomended movie. Watch it for fr33 at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • i have read the book twice :) I love Dewey,he reminds me so much of my cat, so sorry they both died...

  • I'm reading the book right now. There Vicky tells Dewey is a 'normal house-cat'. It's a beautiful Main Coon cat, if I'm right. I have a Main Coon myself and I feel everything sooooooo the same! The caracter from Dewey was exactly like mine. It feels I know Dewey..... It's sad that the 19 years are going sooo fast. I've a video from my best friend on Youtube as well....

  • I have the new book by Vicki but haven't read it yet.

  • my cat is clever to...

    i cant imagine how it would be without him....xp

  • too cute. i didn't hear about dewey until after he'd died, but i wish i'd gotten a chance to meet him. he really seems like a special animal.

  • I went to the website. Cried the whole time....I never want to lose my baby,CupCake(also a cat).....I can understand how painful it was when the Dew passed. Oh and I'm sorry Vicki.....I got tears all over page 202 in "Dewey the Library cat" R.I.P Dewey Readmore Books.

  • R.I.P dewey :'(

  • What a cute little fellow Dewey was. I had heard somewhere they might make a movie about him. I hope they do. I'll definitely go.

  • So lovel, I write from Italy and I just finished reading the book, I found it beautiful and very moving. Dewey was a very magical and beautiful cat.

  • I recently read the book, and I'm glad that I got to see this precious footage. Dewey gave so much to the community of Spencer. Through the book, he will continue to touch the world. He was an exceptional cat. I am sad that he is gone, but am richer for having read his life story. If there is a heaven for cats, I hope we can all meet Dewey someday!

  • Loved the book!! My elderly cat has gonne as well and he was also 18...so hard not to see them again...but lots of cats out there waiting for loving homes!!!! I cant wait to find my next friend again!!!

  • It was a great book. I can't wait untill I can see the movie.

  • I just finished the book its so sad at the end. He was such a handsome kitty

  • Fancy Feast. When we found Moshe (check my channel for him), he was almost dead and starving. But he kept refusing to eat for days and we were sure this was the end. The vet put a can of Fancy Feast 30 inches away from the blind, weak kitten and the latter went strait for it, like he needed no sensory use. Diagnose: "He's just spoiled". Saving Moshe was a challenge I tell you.

    I'm currently reading Dewey and he reminds me of a cat we once had. This book really touches my heart. Thx 4 sharing!

  • dewey is so cute if only i can meet him and thats my cats name

  • Pets help us to evolute as human beings by developing good feelings and responsibility.

  • I've just read the book and was also touched by Dewey's story. I have a black cat named Sparta who also likes to lay with his arms crossed in the "Buddha" pose. They would have gotten along had they met.

  • dewey is awesome, he remind me to my lovely cat who died on april 16 this year....i love u minyue....and now i love dewey too

  • Im reading the book right now and I think its so sad. He seemd to be a lovely and special cat ! I just wish that I could meet him, I wish he were alive. Even if I didnt know him, I feel him in my soul. R.I.P Dewey Readmore Books <3

  • I've read the book too, when I came to the part were Dewey died I could stop crying (which was a problem since I had to go and teach a class)

  • @animavivere so do i

    from Brazil

  • i read the book

  • i didn't know Dewey was real!! i read the book called "Dewey" like 2 months ago...

  • I love Dewey. He was so special. I read the gigantic book that Viki Myron wrote. I will tell all my friends about these vids bcuz they r cat luvers 2! best wishes!:)

  • wow! ıt is cat...perfect! ı was read books.dewey is perfect... ı am living turkey. ıt is cat famous...

  • very very good book...I remember for Dewey, I m from Czech Republic...

  • Hey im Nadhira from indonesia.

    I just finished the book, It was really awesome and amazed!

    Is that the movie in the book? I mean when the library was crowded and saw the movie of Dewey for the first time. So please let me know. Is that the original movie? Im a huge fan! thanks

  • Hello nadygum. This wasn't the movie. It was the Japanese movie. We all love Dewey. All cats are underrated!

  • @cyrix01 Thanks ! and is that the real dewey in the movie? :)

  • Nadygum, it's the real Dewey!

    Next year, there will be a feature length movie coming out starring Meryl Streep as Vicki Myron. But they will have to get a cat (or cats) who look like Dewey to play his part, since Dewey has died RIP.

  • Thanks for the informastion cyrix01! Wow Meryl Streep, She's an awesome actress. (:

  • I have just finished the book, it was wonderful but so sad. I can't believe the vet said he was just an "Alley Cat" though - I've got two Maine Coons and they are exactly the same in physical characteristics and demeanour!

  • I was a mess reading the book when Dewey was put to sleep. Both cats i've had were put to sleep and you say to yourself 'I'm gonna be strong, im gonna be strong' but inevitably, the tears come. Cats are amazing animals and if you haven't read the book, please do.

  • Such a sweet story.

    My experience with cats is that when given unconditional, consistent love as a kitten, they will act as lovable as a dog.

    Thanx for posting. :-))

  • i just read the book - for a second time. i can feel how miserable it can be for vicky who spent 16 years of her life with dewey. no more waving at the front door, no more dewey waiting every morning..that makes me feel sad just to think about it.

  • Am i the only one who happened to cry when i read the bit where dewey was put down?

  • No you're not! I actually started tearing up reading about his last day, and how he still performed his "duties" even though he was weak.

    RIP Dewey.

  • I read the book! It's a wonderful story!

  • ohh dewey^^ s2 always in our hearth

  • dewey,

    amazing heartwarming story.

    his story and life will continue to inspire people around the world.

    i cried when i read the first chapter up to the very last..

  • Amazing story - amazing cat - amazing woman - truly wonderful and heartwarming story, How appropriate that Dewey will now live for ever, immortalised in Vicki's book. How is it that I feel so emotional about a bundle of orange fur ! RIP Dewey.

  • Awesome book! Love Dewey..

  • I just finished the book and I cried at the end as well - reminded me of decisions I had to make.

    Thanks for posting this - love the 'Dewey Carry'

  • I just red book about Dewey Readmore Books and it made me cry!

  • I am currently ten chapters into the book. A very good read, and such an adorable cat.

  • Es completamente Perfecto !!  esto es ser un buen Humano ... buen video

  • gente sou do BRASIL e li o livro sobre dewey escrito por vick sua dona, mãe e amiga... eu ate chorei no final.

  • I've read the Dewey Book. It's really touching me. A clever cat with a great ability to socialize with humans and love people, had made Spencer citizens happier. Dewey really means to us as an unusual great cat forever in our hearts. I can imagine the meaning of cats as our part of life. My cat, Uti dies when she was 14. I remembered her as my youngest sister...

  • im reading the book dewey about dewey readmore books

  • Greetings from Poland! I have just finished the book - it is a very toutching story and Dewey was a wonderful cat!

  • I just finished the book which has now caused me to have puffy eyes for days. I am a long time lover of orange males cats and have had some great ones. This video of Dewey was great though, he is even more charismatic and beautiful on the video than I possibly had imagined. Wow, what a cat !!!

  • I've read that orange cats are very friendly, for some reason. Dewey may also have some Maine Coon in him. Maine Coon males love their humans and love being the center of attention.

  • aww!!! dewey looks sooo cute!!

  • I love dewey soo much. I wish he was still alive. But he is immortal, in our hearts.

  • I read about the movie coming out around Xmas of 2010.I found this info thru the Spencer,IA newspaper online as it had an article with the screenwriter of the movie.

  • I read that too, and meryl streep is going to be vicki myron, I thought she was perfect to play her if there was a movie to be made when I was reading dewey.

    Did you see that article of the dewey sculpture that is in spencer library today?

  • I read the article on the sculpture but couldn't find it today online at the Spencer newspaper online.

  • The book was great! It is a real plus to see aspects of the author's story illustrated with all this video footage of Dewey.

  • There are lots of videos and pictures of Dewey at the deweyreadmorebooks website.

  • I'm reading the book..a very touching story

  • Im near the end of the book, and am absolutely loving it, such a touching story and such a wonderfull cat, i also wish i had got to meet im, but am happy enough to have my own "Dewey" at home, I feel like i know Dewey beacuse im lucky enough to have a cat that is similar to him in character^^ I love my Silvio and would of loved Dewey <3

  • I finished reading the book last night...such a touching story, He's a remarkable cat. I to wished I could've had the privledge to meet him.

  • I love the book. made me cry. i totally recomend it to everyone.

  • 1:45 to 2:03 if u read the book, the reporter was so happy cuz Tom, the other cat, gave them barely andy footage that was interacting with the reporter.... and DEWEy IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • I found out recently that Tom died a few years ago.The grandson of the store owner said his grandpa and the store worker really took it hard when Tom died.I think Tom died in 2000.

  • rm fame

  • I didn't know about Dewey until I read the book. What an amazing cat! I felt so sad at the end of the book -- I wished I had a chance to meet him.

  • I just finished the book. Dewey is so gregarious! And I must say that Vicki is a pretty special human.

  • Dewey...simplesmente apaixonante... todos tem q ler o livro! compartilhar um pouquinho do que ele fez por tanta gente... e como foi sua vida... mto lindo...

  • I'm so sad I never got to meet Dewey in person.... It would have been such a wonderful honour!

  • I agree. I completely agree.

  • i'm brazilian and i loved Dewey!

  • OMG So am I! Livro lindo! Nossa adorei!

  • Love the book! Dewey was amazing. I have a bow tie ragdoll kitty myself and he reminds me of Dewey with his behavior and sweetest of soul.

  • Wonderful book...neat story!!!

  • I Love Cat´s, I Love Dewey ReadMore Books. Dewey forgotten

  • Great book, lovable cat. I am so glad that I bought the book. I have an orange tabby myself, medium hair, almost looks like Dewey, but does not have the personality.
