Geocache Description:

This is an add on to a series of 5 (now six) caches dedicated to the memory of our feline friends, who are no longer with us.  They have been placed along the towpath of the Coventry Canal Main Line, Hawkesbury to Fazeley.


Myshkin serves a warning for cat owners who don’t have their Toms neutered.  One day he went out on the tiles and wandered off.  Although many a kitten in the neighbourhood had his distinctive long mackerel tabby fur, we never found his new address.  Maybe he was trying to avoid the child support payments.

Myshkin’s temperament was definitely a sore point.  Although he could be very friendly he, was famed for growling at people from under the couch, stealing socks and burying them in the garden, and attempting to “mate with”  inanimate objects.

For his cache, a mystery seemed appropriate, so here goes.  Answer the questions to gain the final address of Myshkin who has been immortalised in a short camo bison.  The coordinates can be found by solving the question below.
