Coronation Street cat's ashes sold

The ashes of the famous cat which appeared in the title sequence of Coronation Street fetched £700 at a charity auction today – almost FIVE TIMES their estimate.

Celebrity feline Frisky starred in the opening of the soap for a decade, crouching on the roof of Jack Duckworth’s pigeon loft at the beginning of more than 1,000 episodes.

Now I'm not too sure I'd want to spend that sort of money on a cat's ashes - even for charity...
