Stanley the station cat

An update on my namesake.
Yesterday, Stan was in the station booking hall when I arrived there at about 1030. I went over to platform 1 to catch the 1042 train to Worcester. I was concerned to see Stan crossing the track just before my train arrived. He then disappeared through the railings.
On my return at 1945, Stan was aboard the GoRide RailBus, taking a nap. When it was time for the bus to depart, he had to be removed by a passenger. Otherwise he may have had to spend the weekend in Burford!

His own twitter account?

I'd give him the bird.

I think Stanley deserves his own Twitter account.

I think you're right Caroline... will look into it :) Just for info, I picked him up at the station last night around 8. He hopped in the car beside me when I called him and stood on hind legs looking out of the window as I drove him home. He wasn't interested in any food but I kept him in til morning.... you may see him back patrolling the platform today!!

Stan was hunting in between the Cherry trees at 6.00pm last night at the station. He seemed very busy and had much better things to do than talk to us. Looks very well fed, a touch podgy perhaps!

Stan insisted I let him into the ticket office at 9:30 Thursday, looking like he owned the place.

Thanks for letting me know Ian and Frank. I wonder if anyone's feeding him down there. He's clearly happy at the station. I thought perhaps this time he'd hopped on a train to Paddington! I will go looking for him. Do keep me posted.

He was on the platform this morning around 9.30 looking very healthy and lively, eating the cat mint in the platform garden, and then trying to catch fish in the station pond.

He was seen at the station tuesday morning and evening.

Has anyone seen Stan? Big smooth-haired tabby... he hasn't been home for dinner the last few days and I am supposed to be looking after him in his owner's absence. As many of you will know, he quite often frequents the railway station. He is a very independent cat and I would be grateful for any sightings, just so I know he's ok
