Maynooth University Library Cat Update
People keep asking me how Maynooth University Library Cat is getting on so on my way back from lunch today I took a picture of him on post near the Library.

He seemed a bit drowsy, no doubt because he’d recently emptied his food bowl and was having a post-prandial snooze, and wouldn’t open his eyes so here’s a closer shot when he was a bit more awake.

Anyway, our famous feline friend seems to be in good health. We’ve had a few very cold days recently. In fact once when I came to give him some food I had to break the ice on his water bowl. He’s a hardy animal though and seems to be able to cope with inclement conditions. Today it is much warmer but rather cloudy and overcast.
Lectures recommence at Maynooth next Monday so he’ll have a bit more company then. He likes to be the centre of attention. In Vietnam, the Lunar New Year celebrations at the weekend marked the Year of the Cat. In Maynooth, every year is the Year of the Cat.

How does he leap onto the smooth top of that thing without overshooting?

He usually climbs onto the wall to the right in the picture and then just steps onto his podium from there.
