James May:

My Top Gear colleagues think it terribly funny that I once proclaimed that I loved my cat, Fusker, above all else; more, even, than my old Bentley. But, so help me, I do. Before anyone writes in with some cod psychology and any nonsense about me projecting on to a dumb animal, I am well aware that Fusker does not love me. He loves cat food.

The flow of adoration runs in one direction; I spend hours talking to him, even though the only word he might possibly understand is “Fusker”, and in return not one sound of any consequence has ever emanated from his witless furry face. He has never passed me a spanner or written any of this column, except for a bit that went fasdfij ffeug djdvbv9821.

This will always get me.  Every time.

I’ve always thought that James’ love for this free-spirited, adorable cat that was constantly getting into trouble with the neighbours, and was as likely to bite him for attention as it was to fuss over him, is probably the best explanation ever for his continued friendship with Jeremy…
