Given the fact that Pete Doherty has a lot on his professional plate -- what with gigs as a full-time pharmaceutical tester and part-time musician -- we're surprised that he's found the time to pursue the admirable hobby of myth-debunking. But we're happy to hear that he's started with a biggie -- that being trying to disprove the notion that cats have nine lives by turning one of his pet kittens into a crack addict.

Britain's Daily Star reports that Doherty's female cat Dinger -- Cockney slang for "syringe" -- gave birth to a litter of young 'uns, one of which turned up at a veterinarian's office feeling rather poorly. A few tests elicited a diagnosis that's pretty rare in the feline realm -- a copious amount of cocaine in the bloodstream. The RSPCA, which is said to have seized the animals in question, didn't specifically name Doherty in its tut-tutting statement on the incident, calling it "a police matter." Still, we can't help but think the Babyshambles dartboard on the wall of the animal group's local pub qualifies as a hint.
