This regal feline took on the job of guest greeter, and often escort late night arrivals to their rooms. He spent most of his time in the lobby, where he let guests to pet him. He didn’t need the attention. He allowed it to be showered upon him, and it often was.
Simon enjoyed flower arranging as a hobby, much to the dismay of the Red Lion Inn florist. But for the most part, he was adored by the staff. So much so that once, he came close to winning the title of Employee of the Month, an honor bestowed by fellow employees’ votes.
The Inn owner commissioned this portrait of Simon, and it still hangs in the main lobby. The portrait is a stop on Inn tours, there the tour guides tell story and legend of Sir Simon. It’s a treasured item at the inn… not at all considered weird cat art!
After several years of retirement, Simon passed away. It was a life well lived, and a legend often told.
