Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Arena Design Centre - one of the centres of Harringay's Warehouse District
I shared my picture (above) yesterday with Ingo, one of the the residents of the Arena Design Centre, and he pointed out to me a feature I hadn't noticed. You can just spot a cat statue on the roof above the aqua coloured block:
Apparently it's memorial to a big white turkish van cat that roamed the carpark and was beloved by all the ADC residents.

His official name is "Baby Bubba" he was an amazing little (not so little) character - as many Vans are. More canine than feline in temperament, he would run up to people leaving for work in the mornings and returning at night. He hence became many peoples' early friend in the warehouse community.
There was resultant Diana style mourning when the owner informed us that he'd been ripped apart ( we suspect by the big dogs that some of people seem to use as protection, as he was bigger than the foxes here).
The mounted version was completed by a donation from "Percy Shaw Ltd" the "Cat's Eyes" inventor's company, he hence has mismatched eyes that respond to direct light.

Haringey's (note spelling) new mayor has agreed to officially unveil him. Hugh - we need a photographer.
