Sitting proudly in his new home, it has been a remarkable few months for this marmalade-coloured cat.

Jock VI was found in a south-London garden shed not long after Christmas with paint matted in his fur, now he is residing in Winston Churchill’s former country retreat, Chartwell House.
The ex-British Prime Minister requested a cat of Jock’s colour with four white paws and a white bib must always live at Chartwell - now a National Trust property.
Katherine Barnett, the house and collections manager at the National Trust property, said Jock has been a welcome addition to Chartwell.
“He has been here a few weeks,” said Ms Barnett. “He is really enjoying it. He has 80 acres to play in and he is just getting used to it.

“All the staff absolutely love him to bits.”
The member of staff added jokingly Jock VI was so adorable, she was worried someone may pinch him.
The last “Jock” retired to live on the Isle of Bute in Scotland, and was replaced by the latest incumbent.
Normally each cat will only be replaced once they have passed away, according to Ms Barnett, who has worked at the house since December.
Chartwell House is open daily to the public and a ticket to explore the house and to see Jock costs £12.50 for adults and £6.25 for children.
Ms Barnett added: “He is available for whoever wants to come and see him at the front of the house.”
