Castle Cat

Meet Baby the 'Castle Cat'. Mollycoddled by the Estate Office receptionists who feed her daily and watched over by the CEO who has rather a soft spot for her.

Baby is part-ferrell and lives outside lurking in the staff car park, maintenance and gardeners' sheds with a mini hutch for when it gets cold. Baby is so-called as the original cat was her mummy that one day surprised the estate office staff with a kitten (way before my time).

Baby sat in the reception entrance this morning looking at me as if to say "Think you're coming in do you?" I always say hello and get a friendly meow in reply. She's become much tamer and braver over recent months but is not quite brave enough to let anyone stroke her.

A colleague photographed the Black Swan cygnets on Castle Island this morning and captured a video of their first swim. View it here.
