Yes and I also read she adopted the next cat that came in 1989 until Chere Blair got rid of him - my goodness I didnt have Mrs T down as a cat lover at all - but no chance of that warming me to her :rofl:

So much for 'keep the new cat in a room on his own for a few days until acclimatised' He seems able to contend with anything - perhaps he should sit in on cabinet meetings and put a sensible point of view!

Apparently he scratched the ITN political reporter :evillaugh:

Post by: dizziblonde on February 16, 2011, 13:23:39 PM: Never trusted the Blairs when they got rid of Humphrey (named after the Yes Minster character - which always amused me)... anyone else remember the rumours she'd had him put to sleep - that were only quashed when the Daily Mail got a picture of him in his retirement home sat on the current day's newspaper?

And yep Larry's cat scratches are in the paper today - she'd tried to pick him up for a piece to camera when moggy was obviously sick of the media circus and reacted with a "oh let me go I'm bored" swipe.
