	Maggie's moggie RIP - special report - news - channel4.com
		Named after Sir Humphrey Appleby, the slippery civil servant in the satirical television comedy 'Yes Minister', Humphrey the cat set about changing the ascendancy of mice in Downing Street from the moment he arrived in 1989.
		Another rumour that Humphrey had encountered a near-death experience with President Clinton's two-ton bullet-proof Cadillac were never confirmed, but 6 months into New Labour Humphrey used the Downing Street cat-flap for the last time.
		His cat-food and litter tray were paid for by the Cabinet Office but Humphrey was not always popular - nasty rumours forced an assiduous defence by his boss the Prime Minister.

		Much ballyhooing was made of this, culminating with a mock funeral for Fat Cat, at which Humphrey Bear was a pall-bearer.
		His “Fat Cat and Friends” program was banished from the airwaves by the Australian Broadcasting Authority.
		Humphrey is such a survivor that he even has his own web site and can be seen in localised productions in the USA where his program is presented in English and Spanish, though that would not matter too much for Humphrey because he doesn’t talk anyway.

	Purr-n-Fur UK: Humphrey, the Downing Street cat
		Humphrey's eight years in the corridors of power saw him mingling with the great and the good (and others), which he did with aplomb and the natural dignity of his kind; he was described as a laid-back and relaxed cat, which was probably just as well.
		Humphrey was a stray, long-haired, black-and-white cat who became one of the most popular and admired cats in Great Britain.
		He was named — by whom is not clear — after Sir Humphrey Appleby in the very popular BBC television comedy show Yes, Minister, and was given the official title of Mouser to the Cabinet Office; his food was paid for by the departmental budget.

	Ghosthouse
		By now you're asking, "but is this a good Humphrey Humbert/Clay Millincamp collaboration?" If by that, what you mean is "does the movie present us with characters we instantly hate and then graphically kills them off giving us a brief instant of satisfaction" then yes, I think it does quite an adequate job.
		By having his characters dress in mint green shirts, wear denim jackets, denim skirts, and vests of various materials, Humphrey, err, Umberto was able to establish them as people you just couldn't wait to see waxed in the most inhumane ways possible.
		Like most movies of its ilk, Ghosthouse begins with a prologue that takes place twenty years before where this little girl kills a cat on her birthday, so her dad locks her in the basement with her cursed clown doll that he took from a corpse while working at a funeral home.

	Here's Humphrey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The combination of muteness and lack of educational content has caused at least one character to disappear off Australian network television (namely Fat Cat, from Fat Cat and Friends), which clearly has been a guiding factor in the recent development of the show.
		Over the years (presumably to fend off criticism that the show does not teach children a great deal) more educational content has been injected, but some still counter that this is still at best superficial.

		Bayou Meto from Highway 13 south of Carlisle in Lonoke County to points downstream also rates high with many in-the-know cat men, particularly the lower reaches from just east of Humphrey in Arkansas County to the stream's juncture with the Arkansas River southwest of Gillett.
		Those of us who love catfishing often zero in on the larger of these waters when pursuing our quarry, believing that our chances of catching a trophy-class cat are better in bodies of water that are substantial in size.
		For some of us, the goal is catching a mess of smaller cats for the dinner table, or enjoying the fun that can be experienced catching lots of smaller whiskerfish.
