How does this apply to cats I hear you ask. Well, the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, who passed away last December, left a substantial sum of money from her will to the various pets she acquired over the latter part of her life and I do like a celebrity related cat story.

Legal papers don’t specify how many pets Majel had but it’s believed there are a mixture of cats and dogs.  

Known as the “First Lady of Star Trek” due to her involvement in all the series since the original in the 60s, Majel also left a not insubstantial amount to her housekeeper in order that they can stay on at the Roddenberry mansion and look after the pets.

Apologies if you’re not interested in Star Trek at all. Guess I’m a sucker for a sweet story about animal welfare.

My name’s Rob and this website has been put together just for me to document my views on cats including but not exclusive to my own cat, cats that live on my street, cats from around the world, cats on film and tv, cartoon cats, big cats, LOLcats, looking after a cat, chats with other people who like cats and other topics related to cat appreciation.

Stay tuned y’all.
