Newcastle University now has its own campus cat - and students are already in love with her

A new member of staff is bringing 'joy' to stressed students at Newcastle University.

Fourteen-year-old feline Ozzie became an official member of university staff at the start of this term - even picking up an official staff card - and is fast becoming a campus celebrity.

Ozzie, who lives with university Catholic Chaplain Mia Fox, is the university's second campus animal, following in the paw-steps of Bessie the Jack Russell. When Bessie joined the staff team Mia said she knew Ozzie, who was already 'adored' by the Catholic students Mia supports, needed to join the team.
