International Cat Day
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:
