Oscar the Ferry Cat
In April 2014 Oscar, the Arbuthnott’s beloved family cat, went missing on a Caledonian Macbrayne ferry.
The curious cat managed to open the car window by stepping on the control before the lock took full effect. The family returned to the car in Oban to find paw prints on the bonnet, signs he had tried to get back into the car, but no cat.
Despite weeks of subsequent searching, Oscar was never found.
His memory is forever immortalised in the pages of this tale.
‘Oscar is an ordinary cat until, one day, his life is turned upside down.When he finds himself alone on a ferry, he begins to search for a new friend. How will he cope being on his own and will he ever find somewhere he can call home?’
An inspirational story, written by Molly Arbuthnott and illustrated by Agnes Treherne. A tale of friendship and coming to terms with loss.
