Winston’s wish: A new orange cat
“LONDON- There is a new kitten at
the Winston Churchill estate.
The orange-colored cat is there to
comply with the late British leader’s request that there always be a cat of
that color living at Chartwell, his country home.
Churchill also indicated that the
cat should have white chest fur, white paws, & be named Jock.
The unusual request stems from the
affection Churchill felt for a kitten given to him on his 88th
birthday by Jock Colville, one of his secretaries.
The new kitten was formerly known as
Malley but has been renamed Jock IV. He was a stray cat taken into the care of
an animal welfare group before being adopted by Chartwell officials.
He is described as a ‘caring,
loving’ cat.
The Churchill home & gardens are
about 40 kilometres south of London.”
