Farewell to Fup, famous store cat at Powell's Books in Portland. I've never been to Powell's, never been to Portland at all (of course if I ever get out there, a bookstore trip is #1 on my list... it's not an addiction dammit, it's professional development) but I've subscribed to their newsletter for a while and always enjoyed reading the adventures of "Fup. Store Cat."
Nineteen is a good long life for a cat, and it sounds like this one was appropriately worshipped. So, that's good anyway.
