About this episode
This episode celebrates the charming stories of cats in small-town stores, featuring Arnold the Boss Cat and Bob the hardware store cat.
In this episode of Pine Mountain, Then and Now , we’re celebrating one of my favorite kinds of small-town stories: the cats in the stores. Meet Arnold , the delightfully plush “Boss Cat” at The Cat’s Meow, and Bob , the black-and-white hardware store pro with his own red T‑shirt, a loyal fan club, and very firm opinions about dogs. It’s funny, sweet, and 100% Pine Mountain—proof that sometimes the best local characters have four legs and run the place.
