Poor, poor Fatty (AKA "Bess"), a lovely affectionate cat who used to hold me up walking to the bus stop across the car park at the marina in Scholar Green by throwing herself under my feet demanding to be stroked!

She was 17 years old and had spent several years living on board with a very nice family at the marina, after getting over the habit of rolling over asleep and falling in (and not being too athletic in terms of her ability to get out!). She was also quite happy curled up asleep in the pouring rain. She died under the wheels of a car in chase for her last mouse (she got it).
