Bad news fellow beer drinkers of Sheffield; Stef, the Fat
Cat's cat, has been put down due the worsening of her heart condition. Approx
15 years old, she has been a regular feature of the popular Kelham Island real
ale pub over the last few years. Alas though there was only one option last Wednesday when it
became apparent that her quality of life would never be the same again.
Stef was owned by the previous landlord, Steve, and
Duncan, the current landlord, has no plans to replace her. I am told he has a
recently got a kitten but it will remain in the living quarters upstairs, a
very wise move given the occasional abuse Stef suffered at the hands of drunken
customers or their dogs.
None the less, Stef was a graceful and resilient feline
who did not suffer stroker’s gladly if she was not in the mood! Although she
did seem to be getting friendlier recently. Indeed, the last time I saw her a few
months ago she was sat on the stairs and was quite content to let me stroke
her.
Stef you will be much missed.
