Thanks for that info. Had a look and agree, it’s an interesting story. Clearly a dog with real character.

Very lucky cat. I looked, it seems that cats are no longer resident on Naval ships in the UK or NZ.

There’s a couple of cat statues in Devonport, where my parents live.

Benjamin the local library cat and a memorial for animals called Minnie at the nearby Royal NZ Navy museum.

I’ll take some pictures when I get the opportunity and post them on this Group. Don’t know what I’m going to do about them coming out upside down. Maybe I need to move to the Northern Hemisphere.

My beloved PussPuss lived to 22. Six of those years were spent off grid alongside a main highway carrying 20000+ vehicles a day whilst backing onto the woods that contained venemous snakes, spiders, ticks & dingoes. She travelled thousands of kilometres with me only to be killed by age, incompetent veterinary service & mistreatment in a kennel run by the local PAWS rescue organisation. . . the same barbarians who had Narla butchered at 2 months of age.

@FrayedBear Twenty two is a good age for a cat. Sounds like PussPuss was canny with dealing the nine life cards.

Shame that cack handed vets mishandled it.

@Zealandia that & she was well looked after.

@Zealandia That age is amazing, for a cat who is allowed to be outdoors much at all, between passing vehicles and other animals that are predators..

Glad you enjoyed the story.
