Its great that @rte.ie filmed Nationwide out here. But, despite the Castles, the College, the Heritage.... there was no Cat. I assume there will be a sequel?
MU LIbrary Cat

Purring my way through life outside MU Library. Unofficial account, kinda.
One group of people who you might not always see on campus are our fantastic estates people - gardeners, trades people but also cleaners. They do the hard and often hidden work - including clearing up a broken vodka bottle near my hut today. (not my bottle, I'm a whiskey cat). thanks!
Ok, so - halfway through the orientation week. Some stats: # of photos: 1,243 # of times I have been rubbed or tickled: 2,478.5 (the .5 is when someone went to, then got nervous - don't be nervous!) # of names given me: Seamus: 42% Paddy: 26% Library Cat: 31% "Sir Paw McMiaowington the third:" 1%
well, I was having a lovely day being fawned over by graduands (congrats BTW!). And then the storm came. And the thunder...
Ahem: herewith, a joke I did create: "I’m forever having to go to the orthodontist. I might as well have him on retainer”. (bows, takes in the applause)
'Zounds! tis hot. Or as the bard once said "As a fair day in summer, wondrous fair." That's from Pericles - which you can find at 828.3 SHA PER, on thine thirdest floor(est) of yon house of knowledge
Lest anyone think that I have been slacking off this summer. Clearly I am something more than just a magnificent mascot to a legendary library: www.linkedin.com/posts/peter-...

I see lots of cars parking in disabled spaces, without the appropriate badge. that is not cool. respect everyone.
Son's out, puns out (that was probably funnier in my head)
Had a very pleasant afternoon sitting on my pedestal being admired. There were admirers of every description. And a dog
Post Currently having photo taken. As is good and proper.
Reading week this week @maynoothuniversity.ie but fret not! I am still here. Being spectacular.
🎵 Oh cat he went a walking it was a nice affair serene and with no talking In sunny Joseph's sqaure🎶
Hey ho! the grass has had its inaugural cut. get studying students!
Big thanks to the nice student with the warm coat who fed me earlier. Yum!
the rain has stopped. was just about to float away. relief!
Lots of young(er) folk on campus today for Open Day. hello to all - but especially the good people of Oaklands, Edenderry and Navan in Meath. Nice to see the parents too. Dads - nice sneakers, you ARE down with the kids!
In 1819 the poet Keats composed a poem called "to Autumn". It's a lovely poem and you can read it in the library. However as someone who basically lives outdoors, can I point out that the line "Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun" just doesn't seem acccurate..
Lots of young Hoomans on campus getting accommodation. The KEY accommodation that’s really needed is me accommodating your desire for photos 😻
You there? What day is it? The day sir? Why it’s #caturday
Currently bring serenaded by a guitar wielding young human. 🎵
A large black dog just passed by my station. It was like we were twins.
Sun selfie. Claws retracted so I could press the thingie.
Just saying, lots of things rhyme with ‘cat’. (Not that it has to rhyme of course, I’m anything but DOGmatic)
