Blake, pictured here circa 1979 was an extremely fine cat, and very aware of the fact. His mother belonged to the local liberal candidate (this being in the days before the Liberal Party merged with the Social Democrats). He was named after Blake, from Blake's 7 because the cleaning lady said she wouldn't feed a cat called Avon.

It has been, since Saturday, a very Liberal Democrat dominated week. I feel mildly hunted.

At the time the series was running, three of the four ladies of the Liberator Popular Front fan club committee all lived in a deck access flat (I won't go any further because one of them still lives there.) They had a pair of cats called Avon and Travis. Also, David Jackson (Gan)stayed there quite a lot with his girlfriend, and later wife, who he had met at an LPF party.

David would call for Blake if he was out on the balcony, but point blank referred to call "Travis!" Instead he called "Trevor!" Soon afterwards, it became clear that the neighbours all thought the cat was, indeed, called Trevor.

I am now wondering about Vila, the scaredy cat...

I believe the Monster Raving Looney Party elected a cat as their leader after Screaming Lord Sutch died.

"He was named after Blake, from Blake's 7 because the cleaning lady said she wouldn't feed a cat called Avon."

This sentence is hilarious to me for some reason.

Lovely cat!

Lol at the cleaning lady, probably had a bad experience with the catalogue.
