Tawny owl walking up a piano keyboard

1968 - George the owl has an ear for music, he loves hopping around the room, but his favourite spot is the piano keys. The owl and the pussy cat becomes a fact There are no pea green boats down Camberley way, but that doesn't stop a real life friendship between an Owl and a pussy cat. They both live with the Dean family at Portesbery Road, Camberley. George the Owl arrived last June, when Michael Dean found him in a nearby wood. He was not more than a week old. The family wondered how George would get on with Rin-tin-tin the Ginger puss, but they needn't have worried, the pair are good friends, perhaps it's their mutual love of mice. Everyday Rin-tin-tin goes out and catches a field mouse which he brings back for George. In the winter it often takes him longer to find the mice. George likes company and spends most of his time in the Deans living room where he plays like a kitten, but he hasn t got the daintiness of a feline, for he knocks things over specially when he suddenly decides to flap his wings.
