Oliver Postgate 12th April 1925 - 8th December 2008 |
Oliver Postgate was a caring, thoughtful and lovely man. He was also a great cat lover. Oliver was hugely supportive of Cat Chat and our aims, and so, shortly after we became a registered Charity, he pursuaded (and assisted) his close cat-friend Bagpuss (below) to become a Cat Chat Patron.
Mandy, one of Cat Chat's founders said: On behalf of all at Cat Chat, and also from the many happily homed cats: 'Thanks Oliver, we miss you' |
Bye bye Oliver, thank you for all the fun, and for making so many people happy. |
As well as creating such well-loved characters as Bagpuss, the Clangers, Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, and more, Oliver was also a shrewd political commentator and ardent campaigner for awareness about issues such as global warming.
