Hello!

I know George had a couple of cats, but what were their names? Also, did he have any other pets??

Thanks!

He had loadsss of cats from about the time he bought Kinfauns until his death, a lot of the photos of him at home feature his cats. 

A few of them I can remember are Corky, Rupert and Joss Stick. Corky being a white cat (sorry I’m bad at cat breeds), and Rupert and Joss Stick were Siamese. To earn their keep, the cats used to model in cat food adverts a-hard-days-night-george-9.

^One of the Siamese 

 

At least one of the Siamese lived in Friar Park, however there only appears to be photos of Corky at Kinfauns.

^I think it’s one of George’s cats in this photo with John. 

 

And he had dogs throughout the 90’s particularly (Dhani is a big dog person so I imagine it was his influence).

Nice. I was going to warn against standing too close to Ringo, but didn’t know how many would get the reference. 

In the spirit of staying on topic – does George look like he is the only one savoring his ale?

No, it’s a random cat backstage at Shea Stadium, @AppleScruffJunior. Photo taken by Robert Whitaker as The Beatles relaxed before facing their biggest ever audience.

^Very good, I probably should have checked the origins of it first. I was looking for photos of Joss Stick and that just happened to come up. What are the odds of a Siamese cat being at Shea???

I knew if somebody was going to fact check ASJ about these cats it would be Ron Nasty. Fascinating info from the both of yall.

I actually checked that picture a few months ago, when @Beatlebug wondered whether it was John and Mimi.

Can I argue that George bothered to get a passport for his cat to go on tour with him*, but he left the wife at home because she’d ruin his groove? 

 

*And of course nothing was ever mentioned about George’s cat on tour with The Beatles in documents BUT they never explicitly said that he didn’t bring a cat with him!

This is kind of a weird question, I’m either correct in my assumptions or I’m crazy: 

In the When We Was Fab video, was the red/black colour combination purposely the same as the rooftop concert?
