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:

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
