SuBo is no longer the neighborhood cat lady: Susan Boyle’s pet cat Pebbles has moved out of the Scottish cottage the pair once shared. The singing spinster’s beloved moggy is now living in London with 76-year-old retired accountant Pamela Eaton-Browne because Boyle’s jet-setting lifestyle keeps her away from her West Lothian home too often to properly care for the animal.

A devoted cat lover, Pamela has two furry friends of her own, Truffles and Sapphire. Simon Cowell – who discovered Susan on Britain’s Got Talent – arranged for the cat to be moved to Pamela’s home on the recommendation of her neighbor Alex Kadis, who works for Susan’s management team and was asked by the music mogul to find Pebbles a home.
Pamela told Scotland’s Daily Record Tuesday: “One day Simon said to my friend, ‘Do you know anyone who will look after this cat, because Susan’s flying all over the world and what can we do with the cat? Anyway this friend said to me, ‘We all know you like cats. Would you have Susan’s cat for a couple of weeks. But I never expected to have her for this long.”
A rep for Susan also confirmed that the British woman is being paid to care for the feline: “This lady has met Susan on a couple of occasions and she’s looking after Pebbles at the moment for Susan.”
