I second Sandy Berman's December 17, 2008 letter to the Cataloging Policy & Support Office suggesting LIBRARY CATS as a subject heading. He cites an AP review of Dewey, the Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter (which I notice, btw is available in Polish!) as warrant.
Library of Congress Subject Heading weekly lists, weeks 48-50
Let me preface this installment of my subject heading analysis series by saying that I am very irritated that lcsh.info/search is gone, not to mention inconvenienced!
Includes subject headings under the categories:
You mean there weren't already SHs for these?
The end is nigh
What's hotter than a dozen cross references?
Good one, LC!

I was looking for a subject heading for VIRGINS. There isn't a heading I can find for people who haven't had sex. There is, however, one for VIRGINITY, which has some interesting cross references:
BT SEXUAL ABSTINENCE
NT DEFLORATION
NT JUS PRIMAE NOCTIS
In which I plea for the establishment of Library of Congress Subject Headings for URBAN FICTION (Sandy Berman's suggestion, actually) and various forms of PRIVILEGE.

ADULT CHILD ABUSE VICTIMS
RAPE VICTIMS
