Purring pussycat in Brighton Museum


Some time ago remember this cat sitting in the entrance to the Brighton museum, then it looked very big - now a little smaller - have been wondering where it had gone

Now its purrs is a little softer when you put money inside, before a voice used to say 'Help help i am trapped inside this cat, only your money can help me... purrr purrr'

Discovered it is the museum mascot and is paper mache replica of two similar cats wearing a kimono in the museum by Emile Galle c1880

Aurora

This winter we cannot travel to look for the northern lights but because of the huge power of our Sun am amazed they may be coming to us

Hatchi, A Dogs Tale

watched this and felt very sad.. worse that it is based on a true story

Think the story is meant to be about the loyalty and intelligence of these Japanese dogs but wonder how anyone could leave him outside in all weathers for many years. i would build him a kennel while he was alive rather than a statue when he was gone but perhaps the difficult question is whether freedom of will to choose his path was the right thing or if this was neglect
