with Desmond Morris and Sarah Kennedy
Which cat loves to swim? How did the tabby get its name? And which breed was Queen Victoria's favourite? Desmond finds out when he visits the oldest cat club in the world as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. On show at Olympia are well over 2,000 cats of more than 80 different breeds. Are cat and dog lovers different types of people?
Meanwhile, Sarah visits a hospital that puts the heart back into hedgehogs. As she explores the animal life of Battersea Park, she encounters ferrets, four-legged policemen, an elephant and the dog's equivalent to the Sloane
Ranger. Could it be a yappie? Research
