Peatie the Cat

Peatie the Cat went missing from his home at Gale's Garden Center in Westlake, Ohio, and was thankfully found and returned six months later thanks to his microchip.

Peatie was a customer's cat, but kept wandering over to the store to lounge on the patio furniture and bask in attention, so the customer gave Peatie to the store about 10 years ago, where he made himself of use as a mouser.


Peatie quickly became a customer favorite. "They come in here, they ask for him by name. He's our local celebrity,” Kevin Mahoney, general manager, said.

Here is Peatie's full story:

I wish we knew more about these kittens!

I stumbled across this photo in the Library of Congress collection here: https://loc.gov/resource/npcc.09707/.

It is interesting that many of the White House cats are black!
