And other stories from the stranger side of life
Freddie Mercury’s cats have left their mark on some of his treasured possessions which are to be auctioned at Sotheby’s. The Queen frontman’s feline companions – including Miko and Delilah – left scratch marks on some of the furniture items which will be going under the hammer, but Sotheby’s said that only adds to their appeal, noted The Telegraph. The other items vary from stage costumes to a Scrabble set and the 1941 Wurlitzer jukebox.
