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.

Re: Huddersfield cat
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! ). 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.
