From air raid kennels to animal gas masks, from cats in the trenches to pussies escaping bomb sites, from a cat who lost his tail – and lived to tell the tale - to Andrew the miracle cat who warned owners about flying bombs. Hear about Blakey who hid in a chimney - we follow the stories of these wartime pussies.

Faith the Church Cat



Hear the moving story of Faith, the tabby who turned up at St Augustines church in the City of London befriending the vicar and congregation. Faith and kitten Panda hid in the basement of the church during a bombing raid - and it seemed that they were lost. But the vicar was determined to try and save his beloved cats.
