Otis |
"It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved shop cat, Otis," Loganberry Books, Shaker Heights, Ohio, posted recently on Instagram. "He found us as a loud, scrawny kitten, enjoyed exploring all reaches of the store, greeted customers with cordial aplomb, loved children and enjoyed joining them in play. In short, he was a feline bookseller non pareil. He made national news when he retired in 2022. He died 04/07/2024 from complications of diabetes/pancreatitis/kidney failure, and he will be missed by so many.
