Meet Odie, the Richmond’s elder feline statesman

Back before Chelsea passed away, I always used to pop into Cal’s Pet Supply on California and 22nd Avenue when I was at Angelina’s for a sandwich. Unlike the big chain pet stores, Cal’s is always full of unique treats and toys. So I would usually come home with something new for Chelsea’s toy basket.

While the merchandise changes, one things at Cal’s does not and that’s Odie, its elder statesman. Odie is 22 years old and David H., who helps out occasionally at Cal’s, gave me the scoop on Odie’s illustrious history:

Roy Schmall, the owner of Cal’s, found Odie in front of the store 22 years ago and actually has documentation of his age. Mr. Odie onhealthy hydrocodone online spends most of his time sleeping at his window perch when not roaming the store. Dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, even pet rats that come into the store don’t seem to disturb the feline elder statesman. He has kept his sweet disposition and loves to have people (as well as animals) stop by to say hello.

So the next time you’re in the area, pop by Cal’s to say hi to Odie. While he may be 22, he’ll still gives out a rumbling, hearty purr.
