Fester Cat was, despite his older age, an energetic and youthful cat, who adopted Paul Magrs and Jeremy, a year after they moved into their home on Chestnut Avenue. He was the first cat that Paul had, as his Mam refused to let him have a cat during his childhood, and his student years were hectic. Towards the later years of Fester's life, Paul helped him write a book about (what Fester could remember) of his life.
When he lived with one of his previous owners, she mistook Fester for a girl and called him Paula. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
Biography
Fester was born in 1995 in Levenshulme, and he knew Aunty Bessy, a stray cat, since he was a kitten.
In his second home, Fester lived with a Spanish woman, who thought Fester was a girl. He would eventually leave this woman, and become a stray.
In early 2006, he, Bessy, and a semi-stray cat called Korky banded together. Korky would often fetch food from his house, and share it with Fester and Bessy. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
Adopting Paul and Jeremy
Fester was twelve years old when he first saw Paul Magrs - it was late one night in 2006, when Paul was putting milk bottles outside his home when Paul spotted Fester, Korky, and Bessy. Soon, Fester developed an interest in Paul and his partner Jeremy, and he visited the couple regularly, gaining confidence with each visit.
By September, Fester had properly moved in, and one day, while Fester was relaxing on top of Paul and Jeremy's Škoda, Fester's previous owner spotted him. She thought that he was a girl, so she referred to Fester as "Paula", but instead of taking Fester to her home, she told Paul that she was happy that "Paula" was safe.
Not long later, Jeremy took Fester to a vet in Levenshulme, and there he was microchipped, and a lady vet accidentally humiliated Fester over his lack of bollocks.
Over Christmas, he and his humans were visited by many friends, and Fester got worms. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
One day, Paul had asked Fester to write a review of one of the books that Paul had read to him, and Fester obliged. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
After a while of not reviewing anything, Fester wrote a review about A Street Cat Named Bob. (PROSE: Guest Review by Fester: A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen)
A couple of days before Jeremy's forty-sixth birthday, Jeremy took Fester to Mr. Joe, a vet on Stockport Road, as Fester had suffered from a stroke. Joe put Fester on a special diet of cat food afterwards. A few days later, Paul and Jeremy took Fester to a special vet in Cheadle Hulme, and afterwards, Fester ran all the way back home, miles away.

He lived with them in Manchester. (PROSE: Party Fears Two)
Personality
Fester was proud and energetic. He described himself as being a "materialist and a realist", and he liked to annoy Bessy by being so optimistic. Being a cat, Fester had a laid-back attitude to the concept of life, understanding its complexities - however, he remained sceptical that Santa Claus and Panda were real, breathing individuals, even when overwhelming evidence was presented to him. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
Appearance
While he was a stray, Fester had dirty, matted fur, and was flea-ridden. He only had one-and-a-half teeth, with embedded stumps of his missing teeth slowly rotting away in his mouth (until they were eventually removed). Because of his lack of teeth, Fester's lip curled, which Paul likened to Elvis.
Fester had a "Special Spot" underneath his chin, which he loved to have tickled. (PROSE: The Story of Fester Cat)
