Louis, the Wells Cathedral Cat (PiP)

Louis, the Wells Cathedral Cat (PiP)
Louis is a ginger tom hunting mice in Wells cathedral. His favourite place is a basket in the gift shop but here we met him in the market place. He barely suffered the girls' interest and quickly disapperaed again;-)

Schönen Dank, Lothar! Nachdem er in der Kathedrale nicht zu sehen war....Er hat sich aber hier schnell vom Acker gemacht, die Mädels waren ihm wohl zu übergriffig;-)

You caught a delightful moment as the girls pay attention to Louis. Instant fave ...:) Louis certainly shocked the lady and her dog, if it indeed was Louis!

Gudrun club has replied to Clickity Click
Thanks a lot, Chris! He didn't very much enjoy the attention, he seemed aloof but good natured with it;-) I'm in two minds whether the dog attacker was Louis- but it's an interesting story:-)

Nice work Gudrun. I like the PIP best - lovely composition and the cat is such a striking colour. As for the story - he's innocent until proven guilty.

Gudrun club has replied to Graham Chance club
Thanks, Graham! I think the furore has died down and Louis is still walking free- so not guilty;-)

How adorable! With that ear back he does look like he'll bolt any second. The inset is so funny - the face of rejection!

Thanks a lot, Diane! Lol, he did bolt shortly afterwards;-) He seemed a bit aloof:-)

Das ist ja eine tolle Geschichte, Gudrun! Ich habe den "Ginger Tom" bereits 1993 in der Kathedrale von Canterbury getroffen - oder war es sein Urahn ;-) ???. Es saß auf einer Kirchenbank und putzte sich. Ich traute meinen Augen nicht. Anscheinend fühlen sich die englischen Katzen in den Kathedralen wohl.

Gute Nacht

Uli

Gudrun club has replied to Uli F. club
Danke, Uli! Ja gell, Louis ist schon eine "Marke":-) Ich glaube, früher hatten alle Kirchen eine Katze wegen der Mäuse- manche haben Katzenklappen, die aus der Bauzeit der Kirchen stammen. Canterbury scheint die Tradition auch fortzusetzen:-))
