daily snapshot: storecat

Pla-Za Art Store Cat
The Pla-Za Art at Georgia and Sligo might be the only store I know of with resident cats. My studio supplies come cheaper at the Pearl in Rockville, but here the hairballs are always free.

That is Newton that you captured snoozing (yet again) in the sunny west-facing window.

The other cat's name is Winsor. They are named after the artists' materials supply company, http://www.winsornewton.com .

These are FAR from the only store cats in downtown SS - I've askedthe Voice to do a "store animals" story in the past - let's hope it hits newsprint soon.
There are several, but used to be many more. My favorite was the fluffy calico Persian at Chaconas Florist at corner of Wayne & Georgia (now moved to the SS warehouse distruct near Lyttonsville) - that cat was just a bundle of friendly love.
