The Falklands Conflict - Other Information

Trevor the dog/cat

Information has recently reached me regarding a famous pet in the Islands.

Trevor the cat

This is Trevor - she was a neutered female tabby cat. She lived in the quarters occupied by 1312 Flight, RAF at Port Stanley, in the Falklands during the late 1980s (photo taken in 1988). Crews in the Falklands were allowed to keep pets as long as they were neutered dogs, so the local vet neutered Trevor and issued her with an official certificate to say that's what she was.

She was unkempt when this person arrived, he had to do some clipping and lots of grooming to get her tidy, I'm not sure whether this is before or after. Whatever, it's her summer coat. She was quite an old cat when he was caring for her, very affectionate, and apparently she was eventually succeeded by a black and white cat, also called Trevor.
