TLDR

  • A Siberian cat named Isambard Kitwen Brunel, or Issy, commutes daily by bus to the Oxford University library.
  • Issy, accompanied by his owner Jamie Fishwick-Ford, has been visiting the library for six years.
  • The cat spends most of its time resting in its owner's office, only leaving when necessary.

In a heartwarming display of interspecies companionship, the hallowed halls of Oxford University Library have become the daily domain of a rather extraordinary feline. Isambard Kitwen Brunel, affectionately known as Issy, a majestic Siberian cat, has captured the hearts of students and staff alike. His daily commute, a charming spectacle of him boarding the bus with his owner, Jamie Fishwick-Ford, a librarian, underscores a unique bond that has flourished over six years. Issy's presence is more than just a novelty; he provides a comforting and calming influence amidst the rigorous academic pursuits of Oxford's brightest minds. This story, as reported by the 'Oxford Mail,' highlights a delightful aspect of university life, proving that sometimes, the most profound connections are found in the most unexpected places. It's a reminder of the simple joys that can brighten even the most studious of environments, a story that resonates deeply within our community.
