JUNKIE Pete Doherty is snapped appearing to give his kitten crack — from
a mini-pipe he made specially for it.
Sickened pals who leaked the picture claimed the warped rocker regularly
gets the pet smashed.
They said it PASSES OUT with its paws in the air, suffers MOOD SWINGS
and even thinks it can FLY.
One added: “In Pete’s mind it is the only one who understands him now.”
The Babyshambles frontman’s cat Dinger — named after a slang term for a
syringe — had five kittens in April.
The friend said: “One in particular has borne the brunt of his drug
abuse. Pete thinks it’s hilarious to get it wasted.
“He even made a special mini-crack pipe out of a bottle so it can get
the maximum hit.
“But the kitten is starting to get really bad withdrawal symptoms.
“It has lost some of its balance and takes huge risks jumping over
things that are too high. It thinks it can fly. It’s really distressing
to see.”
Doherty, 28, tried in vain to woo back supermodel lover Kate Moss, 33,
by sending her a framed photograph of her with Dinger — with the
scrawled message: “There’s no place like home.”
He is currently in rehab before a court appearance on October 2 for
possessing crack, heroin, ketamine and cannabis.
Last night the RSPCA said of the kitten picture: “It is hard to launch
an investigation into possible abuse from just a photograph. There needs
to be more evidence.”
# DOHERTY’S kitten is not the first animal with addiction problems. In
2005 The Sun told how squirrels in Brixton, South London, became hooked
on crack cocaine hidden by addicts in gardens.
Residents said the tufties had bloodshot eyes and were “digging
desperately” in flower-beds.
In the US, crack squirrels are a recognised problem in New York and
Washington DC parks.

"Friends have leaked a picture to Britain's The Sun, which shows the
rocker appearing to hold a miniature crack pipe against the feline's
mouth."
As someone who has never done crack I have to ask.....if you put a
crack pipe up to a cat's mouth would the cat even know what to do?
Wouldn't the cat have to inhale?
Color me doubtful. Maybe he is joking like a certain rocker who
claimed he smoked his father's ashes?
Also I can't get my cats to take medication, I can't imaging getting
them to take cocain. Even medicine specially made for cats.
>They said it PASSES OUT with its paws in the air, suffers MOOD SWINGS

But then my cats sometimes think they can fly too.....and all they've
had to eat was their cat food.
They just see a bird outside and think they can fly.

Sounds like one of my cats after they have Cat Nip.
