Persephone, RIP

From the www.unicornbooks.org mailing list:

"Second, I know many of you who frequented the Arlington location will want to know
of the passing of our beautiful cat, PERSEPHONE. She died at home in my arms
yesterday, peacefully and graciously, as she always lived her life. We are so
grateful for the years she spent among us, holding court at Unicorn, welcoming
everyone. As a kitty rescued from a difficult life in the wild, she was a great
messenger and reminder to us to honor the other creatures who share our planet. In
lieu of flowers or other memorial gifts, we would like to suggest a donation in her
name to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals at PETA.org. They were some of
the first volunteers to rescue huge numbers of both pets and wildlife following the
Katrina disaster, and continue working tirelessly to raise awareness about animal
consciousness, compassion and interspecies respect."

So sad! I really miss the Unicorn Books Arlington location, and a large perk of going was being able to pet Ms. Persephone as she sat in that chair in one of the front rooms.
