    Rolf report 12 March: Being an academic cat, I love to hang out amongst the books in Claudia’s office in the Economics Department. There’s just a big enough gap behind the bookshelf so I can swish my tail like a pendulum. Were these bookshelves built specially for me? Rolf x

    Rolf report Dec 20: Today is my birthday. I’m 4 years old. My family is happy to spend the day with me before they leave for Christmas in the USA. My friend Sherry is moving in to supervise me for the festive season. She got me a special cat rucksack to take me to campus. Rolf x

    Rolf report 1 Sept: Hi everyone! I’ve dusted off my hi-viz ‘Campus Cat’ jacket & put it on again. I’m ready to jump into my cat duties for autumn, which by one measure starts today. I hope one & all had a super summer. Over the next week I’ll show you what I got up to. Rolf x

    My American human is sad because his Aunt Bo has died in her care home in Chicago. She was 88, clever, sparkly & fiercely caring. She was a defender of her family & worthy causes. She loved & protected cats. Her spirit will be missed in this world. Journey well Aunt Bo. Rolf x

    Rolf report Nov 20: I received a lovely furry rainbow toy posted to me c/o the Economics Department. The sender was anonymous. I was so excited that I tossed it all over Claudia’s desk & she had to restrain me to stop me falling off. Whoever you are, I like it very much. Rolf x

    Rolf report 12 Nov: Some days, it’s the right thing for my humans to post a film of me doing clever things. Some days it’s the right thing to just post a simple photo of me in my black cat magnificence. Today’s a photo day in solidarity with beautiful black cats everywhere.Rolf x

    Rolf report 20 Dec: It’s my birthday! I’m five years old today. My family gave me some scrunchy tissue paper to play with & squirty cream as a treat. I’ll go to campus as usual. The simple pleasures mean a lot when the world we’re living in is tough for so many people. Rolf x

    Rolf report 16 Oct: I love running up the stairs in the FAB building. It never fails to satisfy. Many students recognise me from my social and want to say hello. Others just seem to think ‘Oh, just another long black cat in a high viz jacket on a lead strolling about. No biggie’.

    Rolf report Jan 26: My humans took me to the vet as I’ve been subdued & quiet. She said I’ve got a sore back & gave me an anti-inflammatory injection. I’m much better already. The vet said she could tell I’m a laid back little fella as my heart rate wasn’t raised at all. Rolf x

    Rolf report Nov 30: Last night was my first performance in the ⁦@pantosocwarwick⁩ panto “The Little Mermaid”. I didn’t quite go where I was supposed to but no one seemed to mind. For my next performance the humans are thinking of changing the bribe to squirty cream. Rolf x

    Today is #BlackCatDay. I send greetings to my fellow black cats across the world. I hope you get lots of extra treats on this special day, such as squirty cream or chicken pieces. If you’re a human thinking of getting a cat, choose a black cat. You will never regret it. Rolf x

    Rolf report 20 Dec: Today is my 7th birthday. I’m spending it, and Christmas too, at the lovely Calcutt Cattery. They know how to do birthdays right. Here I am celebrating in my ‘cat chalet’, with all the proper kit. They’re just about to bring me some treats & pawsecco. Rolf x

    Rolf report 22 March: There’s no greater pleasure for us cats than a warm, comfortable bed. I’ve trained my American human to turn on the electric blanket when he sees me sleeping on my favourite human bed. He says it’s worth it to keep me quiet for a few hours. Stay safe. Rolf x
