Thomas the cat to get Freedom of Ramsey

Monday, 25 November 2024 15:41

One of Ramsey's best-known residents will be given the freedom of the town tomorrow - but may have trouble accepting his collar of office!

Thomas the Ramsey Cat will be given the freedom of Ramsey during a ceremony at the Town Hall from 11am tomorrow.

It comes after Smudge, the tortoiseshell cat who frequents Douglas, was given a special reception in the capital earlier this month.

Suzanne Young of the Pilates, Yoga and Dance Studio on Parliament Street says she's hoping to help Thomas practice wearing a collar for the occasion, because he's never had one on before!
