RHIZO got it!

Hamlet, Julius Caesar Macbeth and Richard III are the four plays by Shakespeare in which ghosts appear on stage

Today's question is

After "this person" sold his family home to the National Trust, it was requested that

there always be a marmalade cat named Jock with a "white bib and four white socks

in a comfortable residence" there. The Trust honored the family's request. The current cat

is Jock VIl, a six-month-old rescue kitten who was found weak and undernourished

and is now living happily on 80 acres. Who was the person?

Honibaker, thats actually not true. Veterinarians are among the highest suicide rate for professionals. Anyway, my ex was a dentist, so maybe dentists have the highest divorce rate. No idea.

Speaking of cats, there is an interesting story about the cat colony in the Canadian Parliament Hill Building.

‘The Parliament Hill cat colony was a clowder of stray cats living on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in a cat sanctuary set aside for them. The care of the cats and maintenance of the sanctuary was carried out by volunteers, and the effort was funded by donations. The colony was closed in January 2013 after the remaining cats were adopted into homes.‘

I’m not really a cat person but I love people who have a soft spot for them.

Jupidupi, the person who made that Wiki entry deserves the extra points! Apparently, it is a ”clowder of cats” when they all get along, but a ”glaring of cats” when they don’t.🐈‍⬛
