Who Said Cats Aren’t Loving?

Graeme the cat spends every morning hanging around the platform on Melbourne’s Hurstbridge line. And every evening he can be seen at the opposite platform, waiting for his human parent to alight. He seems to know exactly where she will get off.
When I first saw the headline for this story in last Saturday’s Daily Telegraph, I thought it was going to be the rail equivalent of Caspar the bus-commuting cat who was renowned for catching rides on the local bus each day. Tragically, Caspar was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
The Daily Telegraph made no mention of any rail travel involved but a story in the Herald Sun confirmed that my suspicions were correct HERE.
I just hope he doesn’t become a victim of some feline hater.
If these two cats can be that smart, it makes me realise how dumb Butterscotch is (I’m not sure about Gingersnap so I’m going to leave him out of this).
When Butterscotch went missing, did he know how to get home? No.
Did he know how to survive on the street? Yes. (If stealing another cat’s food counts as being able to provide for himself.)
Now, from time to time we hear about lost cats who have travelled hundreds, if not, thousands miles in order to get home. Butterscotch was a mere ten minutes’ walk away and he couldn’t manage to use his inner GPS system to get himself home. If it wasn’t for the honesty of one lady, Butterscotch may never have been reunited with his proud father Brett.
