Missing moggy appears on tv show
Posted on July 4th, 2009 No comments
A cat which disappeared from its home in Cornwall turned up safe and well – on the set of popular UK TV show -Question Time. Tango, a tom, had crept into Treviglas Community College’s hall in Newquay where BBC1’s political discussion programme was being filmed last week. He padded out from under a table where David Dimbleby was chairing political discussions with a panel of guests. The first owner Jackie Ellery knew of his surprise appearance was when a friend rang to say she had spotted him. But she was not the only person to notice the furtive feline – panel guest Julia Goldsworthy, Lib Dem MP for Falmouth and Camborne, had also clocked him, as had many of the studio audience who erupted into laughter at his nonchalant air. -

Labrador crowned best slimming pet in UK
Posted on March 11th, 2009 No commentsA formerly porky Labrador has been crowned the UK’s best slimming pet by a veterinary charity after shedding 1st 6lbs (10kg). Keano, from Plymouth, was so overweight at 7st 2lbs (46kg), he could not roll over on his back before joining the PDSA scheme. But regular walks and proper dog food helped him find a new lease of life. Five obese dogs and one cat completed PDSA’s 100 day diet and fitness programme, devised by vets.
The charity says canine obesity rose by 9% in the last year, which can cause potentially fatal conditions.
When Sarah James, 30, re-homed Keano last August, he weighed 8st 8lbs (56kg), which had dropped to 7st 2lbs (46kg) by the time they joined Pet Fit Club.
