Humphrey (cat)
In June 1995, Humphrey went missing. Downing Street did not tell the public about this until Sheila Gunn, a writer for The Times, found out. Gunn had told a member of staff that her own cat had died and they shared about the missing cat. Gunn's story was mentioned on the front page. He was then found in a nearby medical college. He had been taken in as a stray and renamed PC, short for "patrol cat".
