Cat famous for appearing in opening credits of Antiques Roadshow dies
Minou, the cat known for appearing in the opening credits of Antiques Roadshow, has died.
At the start of each episode of the popular BBC reality series, the animal could be seen walking across the screen, brushing against a vase.
Minou, in fact, belonged to antique expert Marc Allum, who has appeared as a specialist on Antiques Roadshow since 1998.
Allum revealed that Minou had been euthanised by a vet on 2 March amid a series of health problems.
In a social media post announcing the news, he shared a heartfelt tribute to the pet.
Alongside a photograph of Minou, he wrote: “ For almost 17 years this beautiful creature has been a central part of our lives. Today we had to say goodbye to Minou.
“The pleasure he gave us is beyond measure. We will miss him soooo much but he will still pop up on your screens on the titles of @BBC_ARoadshow.
