Havant,Hampshire Tuesday 7th June 2016 A memorial dedicated to a much loved cat has been unveiled in Havant today. The oak bench was paid for by donations received following the sad loss of Missy the Bus Stop Cat, who passed away in February. The bench, which has a cat sculpture curled up at one end, was unveiled at 2pm today (Tuesday 7th June) by the Mayor of Havant, Councillor Faith Ponsonby. The bench, created by local chainsaw sculptor Chris Bain has been placed on the grass verge in Dunsbury Way, Leigh Park directly opposite Missy’s favourite bus shelter. Contributions from around the world exceeded expectations following the sad loss of Missy who spent most days enjoying the company of passing passengers on the number 39 Stagecoach bus. Councillor Faith Ponsonby, Mayor of Havant added "It is a tribute to the community of Leigh Park, too, that so much has been raised for this memorial. Missy was a friend for many passers-by, some of whom may not have been allowed to have an animal of their own to love in their rented accommodation. I shall look forward to sitting in the sun on the bench, alongside the carving of Missy, and chatting to Missy's friends.” Richard Mccormick and Claire Mccormick@UKNIP
