Luckily, one family finally picked up this "villainous" feline and gave her the forever home she deserved.

New owner Sally Ellis, 48, from Hampshire, said: "It's funny really, at first I just saw Phoebe for an old cat who nobody wanted - I didn't even see the resemblance between her and the Bond cat. It was only after people started to make comments that I noticed - but it's uncanny, she looks like she's come straight out of the studio!

I'm not a huge fan of James Bond but when people started making the similarities to Blofeld's cat, I couldn't help but see it in her - those eyes attract a lot of attention."

Indeed they do.

"She is so friendly but she definitely knows she can get away with murder at home - she sits so proudly knowing she's so loved.

Nothing fazes her though and she just plods along going about her business, she loves a bit of a fuss and attention - a lot like Blofeld's cat!"

A spokesperson for Cat Protection said: "Phoebe has unfortunately been overlooked many times. She is an older cat and sadly a lot of people prefer the 'cuter' kittens.

Phoebe's devilish eyes certainly give her the look of a mischievous moggy, but despite this, she is as soft as anything.

It is quite funny how she is being looked at now as the 'cat who looks like a villain' as she is the sweetest cat you could come across, but it must be admitted there is a resemblance there."
