'Tibs the Great is no more', the Post Office Magazine, 1965
Finding number: POST 92/1184
This is a page from the Post Office Magazine 1965. It shows Tibs, the Post Office's number one cat. The imposing 23lb giant reigned at the Post Office Headquarters for 14 years until he died in November 1964.
As Tibs was an official member of the Post Office staff, and was paid 2s 6d a week, it was only fitting that he received an obituary in the Post Office Magazine.
