Rocker Ditches Gig to Play Midwife to Cat

Since we always had the feeling that Doctor Doolittle might've been partaking of the fruits of Colombia's agricultural community when he decided he could talk to the animals, we're not altogether surprised to find Pete Doherty following in his critter-centric footsteps. In an apparent effort to win friends and influence PETA, the Babyshambles frontman opted to forfeit the hundred-thousand dollar paycheck he would've collected for playing Belgium's Werchter festival in order to stay by the bedside of his pet cat while she gave birth to her litter. Less charitable folks might suggest the singer played midwife in order to make amends for the incident last year in which he allegedly plied one of his other feline friends with crack cocaine, but we're more prone to believe it's his first step towards veterinary school. After all, animal husbandry is one of the few careers that offers easier access to horse tranquilizers than Doherty's current gig.
