Interestingly - or maybe not - if you dine at the Ritz (I think) and there are 13 of you a 14th chair can be placed at the table and in it sits a pretend cat.
Is it a bloke in a cat suit or a dog pretending to be a cat?
Lol - I think it's a wooden cat! Unfortunately although I've been to several freebie financial functions there I've never been for a proper sit down dinner - all dressed up and that - so I can't say. Tighty will probably know he being king of the city a few years back.
