Wilfred – known as ‘Fiveways Wilf’ – was an extraordinary character who didn’t subscribe to the generally accepted notion of ‘cat’.

How can it be seven whole years since we said our final goodbye to Wilf?

Always in my heart and thoughts. What a truly remarkable cat.

Further to my last post .... When Glenn painted Wilf and came up with the idea for the fundraising t-shirt, his wife Jeanette sent me this brilliant photograph. It really does sum up the hundreds of other smiling happy pictures I was sent of people proudly wearing their shirts, amazingly from all over the world! Glenn did this.

Today, Jeanette and Glenn's family and friends gathered to celebrate Glenn's life and Jeanette sent me this lovely message:

"We said goodbye to Glenn today and what else could I wear but my Wilf t shirt. It got loads of compliments and someone asked where they could buy one! (When I explained they then suggested we do another run of of them. Not sure about that - although would have no objection at all if you wanted to do it.)"

So, my question now is:

** Would anyone like a new Wilf t shirt? **

I can look into it and will work with Jeanette to direct all proceeds to a charity she supports to honour Glenn, split with a cat charity we can all decide on?

Thoughts? X

Sleep well, Glenn. And thank you. X

Hello x

Obviously I don't post here these days but ... I've just heard the very sad news that talented artist Glenn Collinson who painted the Wilf picture that became the fundraising t-shirt has passed away unexpectedly.

We raised over £1.5k to donate to the charity Lost Cats Brighton from the sale of Wilf's t-shirts which was only possible due to Glenn's generosity in offering his painting as the image. I now have two of Glenn's paintings of Wilf here in my home in Edinburgh and they're always a talking point for guests (I Airbnb my spare room 🙂 ) so the Wilf story still gets told and his artwork is always admired.

The Wilf community was always so incredbily supportive so please, if you can, please take a moment today to send some good wishes out into the ether for Glenn's lovely wife Jeanette, his family and friends.

Sleep tight, Glenn x
