A ginger and white cat called Biscuit from Cambridgeshire has been named the best household pet in the country.

Biscuit won the 'household pet of the year' award from The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy - an organisation that dates back more than 100 years.

Biscuit, lives with his owner Linda Hutchinson in Little Downham near Ely.

Linda runs Ely Cats Protection and in her spare time she enters Biscuit for cat shows in the non-pedigree section.

It was his winning record over the past year that helped him to claim the award.

His full name is UK Olympian Gold Imperial Grand Master Cat Biscuit, but that's not a name that Linda has given him, it's a title he has acquired over the past few years by winning so many competitions.

In winning best household pet Biscuit beat a rival pedigree cat.
