🐈 Station Cat Mini-series Stop #9:Bluebell Railway in Sussex, England featuring Gizmo (Bonus #1 of 2 additional Station Cat's mini series)
![]() |
Gizmo |
Hi, All
I originally planned to end the station cat mini series yesterday but after some thinking, I decided to extend the series two more days. The reason is on the grounds of not ending a series on a Thursday when there is 7 days in a week and wanted to end the series on a Saturday instead of Thursday as a way to start off the weekend on a positive note. So today's station cat mini series bonus #1 is on Gizmo at the Bluebell Railway in Sussex, England.
So on today's special trip we take a trip from Virginia, United State and travel across the Atlantic ocean to Sussex,England to visit the Bluebell Railway to see Gizmo who has an interesting story with the Sussex train station.
Please note: I'll briefly discuss the story as you can read the full content on the website linked below under "Links" to enjoy and support.
Gizmo (picture to the left and above) is a cat with a possible unique story to get a spotlight in my series. The reason is that there might be another cat that could share Gizmo's story. Gizmo is a station cat whose originally belong to a nearby cottage, but was adopted by the railway several years ago making it pointless to take him back to his owners, as he simply returned at the first opportunity! He was a gregarious cat who loved being around people, and was never slow to let people know when he considered it was lunchtime, with fish and cheese being favorites of Gizmo. According to a cited site (link below), Gizmo was the latest cat in a line of feline residents at the Sussex station.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
