Framed Print of Peta gets VIP Welcome: Black cat Peta sits in an in
Peta gets VIP Welcome: Black cat Peta sits in an in tray at the Home Office - a sign that she has moved in as the only mouser on the white-hall pay-roll. Peta, a seven-month-old Manx cat, replaced Peter, who died in March after stalking mice through the Home Office corridors for sixteen years. She will get double his pay - a 5s.-a-week living allowance from the Treasury instead of 2s.6d. And on Friday (8-5-64) she had a V.I.P. reception that old Peter never had. From her new boss, the Home Secretary himself. Peta, a gift from the Isle of Man Government, was flown to London and then ceremonially handed over to Home Secretary, Henry Brooke in his office. She didn t turn a hair. She was stroked, tickled, cuddled - and photographed. She was tried out with a toy mouse and contemptuously flicked it aside. She appeared, however, to take to her new employer. Cat-lover Mr. Brooke tickled Peta under her whiskers and voiced suitable words of welcome. Kanniss Theshoo? he asked. Thats Manx for How are you?I Peta did not reply. Perhaps, it was thought, she was eager to get down to the job of mousing. So she was taken on a tour of some of the two hundred rooms and many corridors she will have to patrol. Then she was shown her living quarters - a blanket-lined basket in the messengers lodge. The basket is not likely ever to contain anyone but Peta. She has been doctored. May 1964 P006156. © Mirrorpix
