In recent weeks, the "animal-manuscript" discussion has also appeared in print, with articles published in both Dutch and international Newspapers. The Toronto Review of Books re-posted the image stream to their website, and it can be viewed here. In response to this growing interest in medieval animals, Erik Kwakkel posted a series of "animal-themed" images to his Twitter photostream. To date, his post has been viewed over 22,000 times. Like the cat-paw manuscript tweet, Thijs's blogpost caught the attention of internet readers around the world. His post titled "Paws, Pee, and Mice: Cats among Medieval Manuscripts", recounts stories of animals interacting with medieval manuscripts. One particularly funny story (complete with an image) describes a manuscript that had been peed on by a medieval cat.
