International Cat Day

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

Today is our annual homage to Mrs Chippy on International Cat Day. Mrs Chippy is remembered on the grave of his faithful owner Harry McNeish [McNish]. His statue attracts many visitors to the cemetery every year. They drop in to see us at The Shelter and ask 'Where's the cat?' 🐈

For Mrs Chippy's full story, please see his Wikipedia entry:

Directions of to find to Harry and Mrs Chippy can be found using the cemetery website:
