It was the biggest lazy black cat imaginable. Slept all day in the leather chair behind the porter’s desk at Peterhouse. He was a college legend long remembered by past alumni. Only in Cambridge could some clever clogs come up with the name Campus.
Funny how some animals’ names stick; Black Beauty, Old Shep, Fenton the runaway Labrador that went viral chasing deer in Richmond Park or Dolly the sheep. Hi ho Silver!
Choosing a pet’s name is a family fun affair; our marmalade cat was christened Baxter but could have been Chivers. Then there was Mini the Moocher.
PURRFECT!

Our daughter’s first guinea pig was Herbie, nicknamed Herbs by one of her brothers, who once said Mummy was putting herbs into the bolgnese sauce. You can guess the reaction! Great drabble Steve.
