Susan Boyles's cat, Pebbles, who is 11 years old is now living the high life. Susan Boyle has been jetting around the world and didn't have much time for her beloved pet so Simon Cowell nosed around and found a "temporary" home for her with 76-year-old retired accountant Pamela Eaton-Browne.

Pamela told Scotland’s Daily Record: “One day Simon said to my friend, ‘Do you know anyone who will look after this cat, because Susan’s flying all over the world and what can we do with the cat?’

“Anyway this friend said to me, ‘We all know you like cats. Would you have Susan’s cat for a couple of weeks. But I never expected to have her for this long.”

Susan Boyle has only visited her cat four times since July and the cat is now scared and runs away and hides.

I think she must prefer the new care taker's food selections.

Pamela, who is paid £4 a day to care for the cat, said: “She has little pouches of premium wet food in gravy for breakfast. She’s always got a bowl of Royal Canin biscuits and they’re over £3 a packet. At lunchtime she has chicken and at teatime she has steamed or poached fish.”

Speaking about Pamela, a spokeswoman for Susan said: “This lady has met Susan on a couple of occasions and she’s looking after Pebbles at the moment for Susan.”
