After suffering from exhaustion and being admitted into the Priory, a private clinic in northern London, our favorite cat-loving spinster singing sensation has emerged looking happy and refreshed.

"I feel bloody fantastic," Susan Boyle told the News of the World. "I just need to be home with Pebbles."

After checking out of the Priory this past weekend, Boyle flew to Scotland to be reunited with her 10 year-old cat. But life has changed for Boyle since appearing on "Britain's Got Talent." Paparazzi surrounded her modest home in her tiny hometown of Blackburn in West Lothian, Scotland.

Instead, Boyle was taken to a "secret location" according to Access Hollywood, where an "unidentified associate" --- who had picked up Pebbles from the house --- brought the cat to be reunited with Susan.

What's next for Boyle? She'll be appearing on the "Britain's Got Talent" live tour, kicking off June 12 in Birmingham, England. A doctor will be traveling with Boyle to ensure she stays in good health. No word whether Pebbles will be taken on the road as well, but it's probably not a bad idea.

The Latest Obsession With Susan Boyle? Her Cat Pebbles

Simon Cowell is sick of hearing about Susan Boyle's 10 year-old cat, Pebbles. And her hair and eyebrows, too, for that matter.

Why so catty, Simon?

It's not her fault that the world has become obsessed with all things Susan... including her cat.

The 47 year-old Scottish spinster -- who jokes that she's "never been kissed" and lives alone with her cat -- stunned Simon and the other judges on "Britain's Got Talent" with her show-stopping rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" earlier this month. Since then, online videos of Boyle singing have amassed over 100 million eye-popping page views. She's been spoofed by Jay Leno and interviewed on Larry King.

Since fans now know everything about Boyle, their obsession has moved on to her cat, with bloggers searching for a photo of Pebbles and drawing oil paintings of Boyle and a feline companion. One reporter asked Boyle how Pebbles was reacting to all the new-found stardom. "She reacted the usual cat way," Boyle said. "She wanted to be petted."

And that's not all. You may soon be seeing Boyle and Pebbles in a PETA ad. PETA Europe has approached the newly famous songbird about starring with her cat in an ad called "Bring Harmony to a Cat's Life."

It's all too much for Simon, who has some words of advice for Boyle. "Get yourself together, sweetheart, for the big one -- the semi-final," the prickly judge told her.

Will you be rooting for Boyle when she sings again on May 23?
