Somerset cricket club builds house for favourite feline fan

The building work will begin shortly, the club said

A cricket club is extending its ground to build a house for its favourite feline fan.

Brian the cat is a frequent visitor at the Somerset County Cricket Club (SCCC) ground.

As the nights draw in, it decided to build a house for him with the help of a local building supplies firm.

Paul Malloy, from Bradfords, said: "We are proud to be involved and excited to see Brian in his own house and living his best life."

"We know how loved Brian is within the SCCC community, so when we were approached to get involved and help where we can, the answer was yes," he added.

• How do cats get their stripes? Mystery solved!

• Why are there calls for all cats to be microchipped by law?

• Does your cat cheat on you?

The club are "excited" to see Brian in his new house

The construction of Brian's house is the latest development at the first class cricket club's ground.

It opened the Marcus Trescothick Pavilion in 2015, followed by LED floodlights in 2019.

Construction will begin on Brian's house shortly.
