From Mousetraps to Fame: Felix's Journey

Felix began her career as a tiny kitten at Huddersfield Railway Station. Her main job? Chase away mice and pigeons from the platforms. After 4 years of hard work, she moved up in the company and earned the title of senior pest controller.

As time went on, Felix became quite famous. Kate Moore wrote a book about her called "Felix the Railway Cat." This book raised over £100,000 for charity! Felix even got a special Shooting Stars award for her good work. Recently, she reached another milestone - having a train named after her.

A Feline Partnership Forms

Felix didn't want to work alone forever. In 2018, she got a partner named Bolt. Together, they make the perfect team. Both cats wear hi-vis jackets and name badges when they feel like dressing up for work. They walk around the station like they own the place. Passengers love getting purrs and head bumps from these furry workers.

The duo became so popular that a second book came out in the Felix series. This time, it includes stories about Bolt too.

More Than Just Cute Faces

Don't let their fluffy looks fool you. Felix and Bolt are serious about their jobs. They work hard to keep the platform safe and clean for all the people who travel through the station.

The station staff takes great care of these special employees. Felix and Bolt always have plenty of food, get regular grooming, and seem very happy with their railway life.

Spot the Station Cats

If you ever visit Huddersfield Railway Station, keep your eyes open. You might spot Felix and Bolt walking around the platforms, getting cuddles from travelers, or taking a well-deserved nap.

These two have shown that cats can be more than just pets. They can be valued workers with important jobs to do. Felix and Bolt have won the hearts of both the station staff and the many people who pass through Huddersfield each day.
