A PAWS FOR FELINE FACTS AND FANTASY

A Towser cat keeps watch
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES: As I focus on producing my first ebook I will occasionally post a short piece you might enjoy. Today: learn about the winner of the mouser award: Towser, a cat in Scotland who ran the record for the number of mice she caught.
Living in a Scottish distillery, this cat’s mouse head count is record-breaking! Towser is in good company with other distillery felines who protect the malt that is vital to production of the ancient brews.
