Bubba the Cat Issued Student ID

Bubba belongs to Amber Marienthal and her family, but he spends his days at school. He’s the campus cat at Leland High School in San Jose and Bret Harte Middle School next door. He roams the halls freely and stays from the time the first bell rings to the end of the latest sports practice.

The family initially tried to make Bubba an indoor cat, but he let them know loudly and often that he was unhappy in his confinement. Their home sits behind both Leland and Bret Harte Middle School, and Bubba became a frequent visitor to both campuses. Marienthal says she still gets calls from staff and students who see him on campus and think he's lost.

Bubba is known and loved by many at both schools, as his 600-plus Facebook followers attest. Marienthal, the administrator of her cat's Facebook page, says Bubba's fans want him to branch out into other social media.

This year, Bubba was issued an official student ID card at the high school. So far, he has an attendance record of 100%. San Jose Mercury News has more of Bubba’s story. You can also visit Bubba at Facebook. -via Arbroath

When I was at the U of Maine in the late 1950's, there was a campus dog, LeRoy, who wandered about and stayed in dorms and frat houses wherever he felt like. The forestry students would take him to the woods when they were doing studies. I don't think he was anyone's dog but himself. I dropped out of school and went into the army for a while. When I came back, LeRoy must have passed away.
