Belvedere, the class conscious cat, walks out of the clubs big show
Belvedere, the class conscious cat, walks out of the clubs big show. Belvedere is an elegant blue Persian with very definite ideas about cat shows. He had no objection to being entered for a class restricted to pedigree pets, of course. Won it easily, he did. But when it came to mixing with the plebs in one of those special open classes, it really was asking too much. He took one look at the purring tabbies and ginger toms parading before the judges....and fled. The show, as they say, went on. Without Belvedere. He vanished from the exhibition hall at Londons Alexandra Palace, where the show was being staged by the Herts and Middlesex Cat Club. This naturally caused considerable distress to his owner, actress Car men Dene, 21, of Dagenham (although it had the most useful effect of ensuring that she remained the centre of attention. Miss Dene searched everywhere. And while she searched, the Daily Mirror National Pets Club cup for the cat of the year was presented to a common or garden tabby called Charlie. Until last week, four-year-old Charlie was homeless. He was looked after by Mrs. Cissie Walledge, who runs a cat sanctuary in Oxford-road, Lower Edmonton. His new owners have asked Mrs. Walledge to keep the cup. A couple of hours after the show, some helpful maintenance men found Belvedere. Under the floorboards of an adjoining office. Fast asleep. Rescued! Belvedere is lifted to safety by workmen as Carmen looks on. September 1966 P000640
