Prime ministerial house has a cat again. The last famous cat was Humphrey, named after Sir Humphrey Appleby in the "Yes Minister" political comedy show. He died in March 2006, but everyone remembers how he came as a stray cat during the late premiership of Margaret Thatcher in 1989. During the John Major years he lived as a passive Conservative, but six months after Tony Blair came to power, he was no longer in the picture. Most of the people think Cherie, Blair’s wife, is responsible for everything. Now, watch out everyone, there’s a new cat in town and she’s a beauty. Her name is Sybil after Basil's wife in the classic 1970s sitcom "Fawlty Towers”. Despite the fact that she is sharing a thespian name with her predecessor, she is different by the fact that she comes with a family and not with the house. So the lucky owners are the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, his wife Sarah and their two sons. Much of the details still remain a secret, but the truth is that she’s not the first cat at Downing Street, that spot is already taken by none other than Wilberforce who came with Edward Heath and died in 1988. Who knew that behind every British prime minister there’s cat standing and yawning? Hei kitty, kitty what secrets do you hide under your fur? Don’t go away…she’s about to tell.
