Room 8

"He was the right cat, at the right time, at the right school, with the right people."

In 1952, a skinny gray tabby cat wandered into Elysian Heights Elementary School. He scarcely missed a day of school for the next 15 years, graduating into a rather plump cat. During his time at school, the cat called Room 8 would become world-famous, receiving thousands of fan letters and appearing on multiple television shows.
