All time catch a mouse champion

I could have used her services in my house a while back.





Towser was a longhaired tortoiseshell who for almost 24 years held the position of chief mouser at Glenturret distillery, where Scotland's renowned Famous Grouse whisky is made. Towser's kill tally of mice was so remarkable that she is in the Guinness Book of Records. Her exploits are commemorated on a plaque below her statue at the Glenturret visitors centre.

The inscription reads:

Towser - 21 April 1963-30 March 1987
Towser, the famous cat who lived in the still house, Glenturret Distillery, for almost 24 years.

She caught 28,899 mice in her lifetime. World mousing champion, Guinness Book of Records.
