Susan Boyle's Cat, Pebbles, Calls the Shots

Susan Boyle may have skyrocketed to fame this year as the underdog on "Britain's Got Talent," but the singer can't use her celebrity big bucks to buy herself a new home and move out of her modest Scottish council house. Her cat Pebbles won't let her move.

"I don't want to be moving an inch away from my family and Pebbles doesn't want to move," the singer told Britain's News of the World. "She's lived there all her life and cats hate upping sticks."

Boyle added, "Pebbles would hate to live anywhere posh."

Boyle was admitted to a London clinic with exhaustion after the mania surrounding her quick rise to fame. British papers claimed that medical staff at the facility arranged for Boyle to be able to "speak" to Pebbles over the phone during her stay and her brother Gerry told interviewers that what Boyle really needed was to come home and be reunited with the feline.

It looks like Boyle and Pebbles are quite the team. We wonder if Pebbles will have a say in how Boyle ends up spending all those royalties from her new album, "I Dreamed a Dream."
