CATS!!!!

[Smallfry]

Definitely lost me chair now ..........

So, do I,
A. Spend all evening sitting on a wooden dining room chair ?
B. Sit on the floor all evening next to the woodburner ?
C. Turf him off ?

Pick him up, sit down and plonk him on your lap, if you're quick he might not wake up.

Tickle his paw pads, that will shift him. Albert Schweitzer was left handed, his cat would sometimes curl up on his left arm while he was writing so he gamely struggled on, writing with his right hand.

Doesn't look like a cat that will suffer fools gladly...there might be a risk of getting what I used to call a full aliens attack!

Well that is Kirsty our kitten settling in. @OJCar Nikki may like these:

She is very vocal

likes playing

Seems to like Rory

he is less sure

she has been chasing him round the house, he found a safe place to sleep

Hopefully Kirsty will grow into those ears !

Bowes says you dare get my engine dirty !

That's exactly what my wife said on first seeing her

That's a real menacing look too. She probably hasn't forgotten about the bits left over yet.

Bowes Museum and Barras Hall wifey informs me.

The cats are all named after Stations or Features on the old SD&LUR line
(Barney is the local nickname for Barnard Castle, Bowes and Barras are other Stations,
the Mother of Bowes and Barras was called Belah (after the viaduct).

Fireman, signalman, station master?
I'm assuming in the role of vermin control and love the attention from customers. Are they strays that just hang about the station or do they live nearby?

Barras is the Senior Station Cat,
having trained under the previous SSC Quaker, he is now training his off spring.
They live in the Station, in the Crew Mess Room.
They do "Meet and Greet" on open days.
Barras also runs the Gift Shop...
