Newsnight - Rastus the Cat
Television (Excerpts) – 1994
It took no teaching really. He was a natural. I put him on and he loved it from day one.– Max Corkill, on the cat's bike riding ability
Max even had a BMW bike made, complete with wind block. So Rastus can ride in comfort.– Reporter Ingrid Leary
Well I guess over the seven years we've been travelling we've only had three places refuse Rastus, and that includes restaurants.– Max Corkill on his cat
