Stubby-chan

I'd like to introduce you to the Guest Home Cat. Stubby-chan came to the Aylings when they supervised the Hostel at Chefoo School in Hokkaido. She has made each move with them as they worked their way to the Ichikawa Guest Home.

I was her mistress for the year that Gareth and Ruth were on Home Assignment before they took over the Guest home in 2002. She has not seen me for four years. On the evening I arrived she sat in my lap quite happily, although she has not come up to see me in my room. Sachiko-san says Stubby remembers me, but being a cat, it's not very important to her.
