A CALICO cat has become a celebrity after becoming a university’s favourite special guest lecturer.

Millie, better known as Campus Cat, has become a firm favourite with staff and students at the University of Chester.

As well as capturing hearts, Campus Cat patrols the halls, sits in on lectures and helps the various faculties get their messages out on social media.
