Room 8 the Cat Leaves a Quarter Century of School Fame
Elysian Heights primary School opens this fall but Room 8 the cat will not return. The gray tomcat first arrived in 1953 and spent 15 years reporting daily to Room 8, becoming a school mascot, subject of a TV documentary, and inspiration for a children’s book. He stopped by the neighborhood family in later years and died this week at about 22.
