Exactly where to look

In the King's Square area there are a bunch of cats. Look for the clock and the cat climbing it. Time is ticking: you have one life, cats have nine.

The Story

Sadly, this is possibly the latest and the last of Tom Adams’s cats. The climbing cat was installed around 2006 to celebrate 50 years of service by the father of Barnitts’ owner.
