Shrine for a cat that sat on every mat

by MILES ERWIN – Wednesday, September 17, 2008

To some he was known as Ginger. Others called him Dave or Atkinson. Some even knew him as Fonzworthy III.

Now the death of a charismatic stray moggy who won the affection of an entire street has sparked a flood of ‘Diana-like’ tributes.

 

Ginger, aka Dave, aka Atkinson, aka Fonzworthy III: RIP

 

Residents who once fed and fussed over him have laid poems, flowers and photographs at the spot where the ginger tom liked to stretch out to cat-nap.

‘He touched our lives in so many ways,’ said 40-year-old Keith Davis, of Holloway, Bath. ‘Although he was streetwise, he was wonderfully affectionate.  

‘Collectively, we looked after him and he’ll be missed terribly.’

One tribute addressed to Dave read: ‘We’ve enjoyed your company immensely over the years and will miss and remember you.’ Tony Brown, 66, knew the cat as Atkinson. ‘When he died, we thought we ought to put a notice up because he was so well known,’ he said.
