Does anyone have some information about John and his cats? Such as, what were all their names? I know he had a lot, in Cynthia's book 'John' she said they had about ten. I love cats!

I have no idea!
It's so cute that he liked cats though!

My memory is not the best but I am fairly certain that after he moved to New York he had one cat called "Mimi." I also seem to recall two cats called Yin and Yang. Correct me if I am wrong.  |

I am pretty sure that when John was with May they had two cats named Major and Minor.

Thanks everyone! I knew John had a lot of cats but I didn't know he had that many! Now what I want to know is...how many dogs did he have?  |

I have some pictures of John, Cynthia and Julian with a dog (I'll post them in the Look At Me board for you later in case you haven't seen them). He also had a dog called Sally when he was a teenager. I remember reading in Pete Shotton's book "John Lennon: In My Life" that John had gone to stay with his mother for a while after he'd had an argument with Aunt Mimi, and when he went back to Mimi's she'd given the dog away. Pete said that was the only time he'd seen John cry. |

This is a 1968 promo video for Apple. The picture quality's not very good but you can see Paul's dog Martha running around at the beginning (while Mary Hopkin is singing), and then later (at about 5:20) theres a clip of John's dog sitting on his knee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8i2TTKlIbc |
