We investigate the history of cats: from mummified felines in the British Museum to George the Lion who lived in the Tower of London; from the world’s favourite pantomime cat, to the pussy who helped write an English dictionary. Hear about only cat to win the prestigious wartime Dickin Medal, and political cats - from Churchill's mouser to the famous Downing Street Larry.
