Jock of Chartwell - National Trust 4.58

A wise man once remarked 'Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.'. Personally I have no interest in pigs.

I understand that late in life he was given a ginger cat with four while paws and a while bib. He named him Jock, after his personal secretary Jock Colville. I am the sixth Jock to live here. They like to keep a home here for a ginger cat with similar markings. No one knows where I was born but Katherine, who I live with, found me at a rescue centre and bought me to live at Chartwell.

I have been told that you have no interest in my hunting habits but may be interested in my 'inside information'. My days are spent on the Programming Officer's desk or in the head gardeners flower beds and I live with the house and collections manager. I hear everything.

I'm around to answer your queries 9am-5pm, Tuesday - Friday.

Croydon Animal Samaritans continue to play an important role in my care. Find out more about their charity work at www.croydonanimalsamaritans.co.uk
