'I'm obsessed with cats'

Marlene Howes, 67, is a retired secretary who shares her home with 40 Persian cats.

Marlene reveals that she chose her feline friends over her former husband, and when it comes to her purr-fect pussies only the best will do - the cats drink bottled water and eat raw meat.

She's here ahead of Channel 5's Pet Hoarders to talk about taking part in the show, and to introduce us to 15 of her cats.
