This is the best summary I could come up with:
‘A gentle little soul’: A British railway station cat who rose to global fame has died aged 12.
Senior pest controller, charity fundraiser and global celebrity Felix the Huddersfield Station cat has passed away at the age of 12.
With a social media following of over 200,000, Felix “has left paw prints across the hearts of people from all over the world”, her owners wrote on her official Facebook page on Tuesday.
Her passing has elicited an outpouring of grief and love from fans who routinely missed their trains to pet her or admired her from afar.
Cat lovers from around the world began making pilgrimages to the station to meet her, with her Facebook page receiving 24 million views each year.
She snapped this photo of her just a few weeks ago, when she encountered some fans who had travelled from Newcastle to meet Felix and had waited two hours for the famed feline to make her appearance.
