A spoilt cat with "diva-like" tendencies is on course to win the title for Britain's most pampered feline.

Horace, who enjoys looking at himself in the full-length mirror and sitting in designer chairs, has made it to the final of Gourmet’s Five Star Feline competition.

His owner, Christina Bennett, spends hours each week grooming him, and even takes him to work with her every day.

She said: "Horace is so charming, I love nothing more than to indulge him. I knew my cat was good enough to be a finalist and I’m confident that his diva-like ways are unrivalled."

The winning cat will be announced in October and will receive a year's supply of cat food and a 1.75 carat diamond pendant worth £20,000.
