REGULARS to a pub in Twyford will be raising a glass in tribute to a familiar face who passed away this week.
Maverick, a Persian cat who had lived at the pub in the High Street for an incredible 21 years, the equivalent to 101 cat years, was put to sleep on Tuesday in an act of kindness by landlady Margaret Vincent.
Margaret said: “His back legs gave way and he was in a bit of agony.
“I inherited him when we took over the pub 12 years ago. He lived in the bar area and everyone knew Maverick. People would come in and ask how he was, not how we were, just Maverick.”
Maverick was buried in the pub garden on Wednesday morning, and Margaret said tributes will undoubtedly be paid to him at the weekend.
She said: “The regulars have said that they will raise a glass to him on Saturday night, he will be sorely missed.”
