Never mind the cat, he works here...

So today I walked up to the Village, to stroll along the main drag with my Mom, who is in town for a few days. We stepped into Annie Bloom's Books to pick up a copy of Sunset Magazine, which is a must read for an ex-Oregon-resident like my Mom. So anyway, we poked around in the bokstore for a bit, but of course, we both had to stop to pet the cat.

Annie Bloom's has a cat, as several bookstores seem to. However, the cat at Annie Blooms is as much a Village fixture as the store itself. On the way out the door, I noticed that the cat, Oscar Wilde, was recently profiled in the Portland Tribune. This is the level of celebrity we're dealing with here.

A link to the story is here - it features several working cats, scroll down to read about Oscar.

Next time you're in the village, drop in to Annie Bloom's and say hi to Mr. Wilde. He's 13 years old.
