The Tobermory Cat

In the village of Tobermory, on the Scottish island of Mull, lives a very special ginger cat. But once upon a time he didn’t think he was special at all ¬ not like the woolly cats of Loch Ba, the singing cats of Staffa or the fishing cats of Fishnish. But now everyone knows about him. He’s the cat who has become a legend in his own lifetime by simply being himself. He’s the cat who dances on top of the fish van - the cat who speaks to otters - the cat who drives the big yellow digger - the cat who rides on top of cars. He’s the Tobermory Cat.
