Huddersfield cat

Post by catslave16 »

Did any of you spot this lovely story?
Huddersfield station has an official pest controller called Felix. She (mis-sexed as a kitten, name retained anyway) recently raised more that £5,000 by doing a 5 km 'fun run' - a tracking device was attached to her collar. The money was used to buy Lego sets for children's wards in local hospitals. The charity the money was donated to built a life-size Lego model of her. She has her own Facebook page. Well, she would do, wouldn't she?
I read this in a national newspaper and it made my day. :D

A lovely story and a lovely idea. She will have to go a long way to beat Tama, the Japanese station master cat (complete with hat! :roll: ). She died last year, aged 16. She was so popular 3,000 people came to her funeral! But I don't think pest control was part of HER job description. :lol:
