In The Secret Life of the Cat, 50 cats were fitted with GPS collars to track their every movement, and cat-cams to record their unique view of the world.
In this ground breaking experiment, a few cats stood out. They include the intruder cat, an unneutered tomcat, who comes into the village and seems to have no owner; the hunter, who prefers food he can catch and kill to anything his owners might buy him; and the deserter who has abandoned his home in favour of a new set of owners.
Rather gross the five-minute mark I must warn.
The other Sir Humphrey

Humphrey the cat, named after Sir Humphrey Appleby of Yes Minister, was chief mouser at 10 Downing Street between October 1989 and November 1997. His performance review by the accommodation officer at the Cabinet office was most satisfactory at catching rats and mice and had ‘no known sex scandals’.
When Sir Humphrey retired to the south London home of a cat loving No. 10 Downing Street security guard, Tory MPs claimed he had been murdered and insisted on seeing the corpse.
Independent observers dispatched to the undisclosed location in South London confirmed he was still alive. In his hide-out, Sir Humphrey was photographed, hostage-style, with copies of that day’s newspapers to prove he is alive.
The Press Complaints Commission won agreement that his privacy be respected. Sir Humphrey died in 2006.
