At which famous site in London and in what circumstances would you dine with a big cat who would be given the same meal? A picture of said cat would be welcome.

Nope. This cat is black and made of wood. May 14 07, 7:49 PM

Winston Churchill is one who went in a group to dine with the cat on a number of occasions. I'll also add that there is a common superstition involved here and it has nothing to do with the blackness of the cat. May 15 07, 11:49 AM

I'm assuming that you're talking about Kaspar at The Savoy: http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/la-trw-londoncats13may13-update,0,2081387.story May 16 07, 6:51 PM

Yay Frankie! Have a full set of silver Apostle spoons for you and twelve friends to dine out on that one. Originally, a member of staff would sit with a group of 13 to prevent such an unlucky gathering, but then someone had the bright idea of setting down a place for the cat instead. Thus, a superstition became good business as some customers have deliberately built up dining groups of 13 just to see this eccentric custom. Jun 03 07, 6:03 AM
