In memory of Sylvester

Photos in memory of Sylvester, the friendly black-and-white Wellington cat with his own mural, who graced the steps of Allenby Terrace outside his house, and graciously accepted pats and strokes from umpteen passers-by en route to the city. Aside from brightening the day of average common-or-garden pedestrians, he was also happy to contribute to the mental health of mopey students by sitting on their laps as they used the steep public stairs between the Terrace and O'Reily Avenue. Sylvester died at home yesterday after being diagnosed with renal failure, and will be much missed by all who knew him.
