Miko & Atticus Run King's Bookstore in Tacoma WA

Mary, a TCM reader, recently told me the story of hardworking cats Milo and Atticus, who run King's Bookstore in Tacoma, Washington.

Bookstore employee Sweet Pea says that King's Bookstore has had resident cats for about six years. Their first cat, Harriet (photo at right) was adopted from the Humane Society, but sadly, she went to The Bridge last year. Black cat Miko (in rocking chair at right, above) is also a Humane Society adoptee.

After Harriet died, a stray grey and white tabby showed up, and the bookstore held a contest to name him. The winning name was Atticus (from Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird). Atticus is in the left chair in the photo above.

According to Sweet Pea, the feline pair hangs out at the store, and some people come to the store just to see the cats. In the morning, Mika and Atticus are attended to after being left in the store overnight. Atticus likes to ride people's shoulders. Both happily socialize with groups that meet at the bookstore.
