Before that there was Powell's Techinical Bookstore on the North park blocks. That store had a cat named Fup that was really old. Every year, they would print birthday stickers for the cat and give them away. I still have one that I use as a bookstore from when the cat turned 18.

You’ll enjoy this thread on Reddit from last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/13ft7q0/who_else_...

Awesome to see soo many remembering that cat. Also,

> I was a programmer for Powell's for 22 years. One thing I programmed into the lookup stations at the main store was a search for fup got you a picture of him.

It made the front page of Reddit when Fup the cat died at the age of 19. In those days, Reddit was for Hackernews types and not... what it is now.
