Johnny - Dublin Nose

Clumsy but cute, Johnny (full name: Lord John William Grey) was born in Argentina before crossing the Atlantic to make a new home in Ireland. 

Since arriving, Johnny has become the nosiest boy in Harold’s Cross, winning the heart of every neighbour and passerby who spots the little ginger cat in the window. He has even adopted an Irish dad who he loves to play football with (being Argentinian, Johnny has a better first touch than his father). He’s a real attention-seeker as well—not best pleased when Mum and Dad are working instead of paying attention to Johnny. 

More than just a pretty face, Johnny has got an impressive CV to match his looks. He speaks three languages (Spanish, English, Turkish) and even participated in a pet-training seminar, teaching the other cats and dogs how to give the best high five. When he’s not busy greeting the neighbours or playing fetch with his parents, you’ll find Johnny falling asleep in Mum’s arms with his tongue sticking out. 

P.S. Johnny here, I’m so excited about being a finalist that I keep waking up Mummy and Daddy in the middle of the night to remind them. If you vote for me, I vow to never scratch the furniture and never fight with the plants ever again (unless I feel like it). Whatever happens, it’s an honour to be your Dublin Nose - go raibh maith agat, gracias, teşekkürler, thank you!
