A sphinx. I think we've got a picture of you and there it is.

That's Macavity, the hairless one, and that's Grizabella

on the other side.

Now, very, very cute.

That's hard to love.

No!

He's so affectionate and loving. That's why he's there.

He has to be. Don't be aloof if you look like that!

He's so cute.

He's so ugly he's cute.

Did you get them because of the movie? Well, yes.

I told Tom Hooper when I was on the set, I said, I'm going to

get a cat, name it Macavity, and then I'm going to get another cat

and name it Grizabella, and then so that's Macavity and Grizabella.

OK. Now, Matthew McConaughey, I would say dog person.

Have both. Oh, you've both? I have many dogs and cats.

OK. Yes. Like, just roaming around?

Or kind of...? Roaming around.

Do they know you're their owner?

They do. They do. That's good.

Sometimes it's good... I like both.

Sometimes it's nice because cats are so independent. Right.

You don't have to do things with them

and they come up and they're affectionate and just kind of easy.

They like their own time. I like my own time.

The dogs, you know, need more affection, need more time.

Yeah. Hugh Grant, you like cats.

Up to a point.

On the whole, I adore them.

But I don't like it when they suddenly jump on you,

yawn cat meat in your face, then turn around and show you their

arsehole. Because they love you!

I find that objectionable.

That's love.

We did have a cat growing up.

It was a very strange situation because it came to possess my mother

like an evil spirit.

It started with...

My mum used to do funny voices for all animals.

If we passed a sheep, she had a voice for a sheep and a pig, etc.

And then the cat arrived and she started doing this cat voice,

but it really took her over, and it was a horrible, horrible person.

My mother was a lovely woman, churchgoing, Christian,

philanthropist, rather proper, and the cat would say,

"Fucking feed me, you bitch."

LAUGHTER

Sometimes we'd say, "Mum! You said that!"

She'd say, "No, darling, I promise I have no control over the cat."

APPLAUSE Weird situation.
