Biscuit the cat attends a ram auction at the Gore A&P Showgrounds earlier this year, watched by vendor Jason Smith, of Maniototo.

New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Eastern Southland coach Carol Dawson, of Gore, said Biscuit lived at their facilities.

"She’s our vermin control officer."

Biscuit often entered the vehicles of people camping or watching rugby at the showgrounds.

"She is very, very friendly. She likes attention."
