'For a bit of a laugh we entered Gus in the race and low and behold he came first in his category.' 9News
Gus is no ordinary cat. The Tonkinese loves swimming with his owner and political strategist Druery."And funny enough, I'm allergic to cats and these Tonkinese cats are quite hypoallergenic and I'm not allergic to this guy."He's been swimming since he was about 11 weeks old. It's not a problem."We treat him like he's part of our lifestyle.
"For a bit of a laugh we entered Gus in the race and low and behold he came first in his category," Druery said."He did beat some of the dogs though, but most importantly it was a fun, really nice day.""We actually had threats. Gus had threats," Druery said."One of these local parochial yobbos said he was going to shoot the cat and beat me up if he ever saw us again.
When asked if locals would do anything to harm the cat, following the threats Louise said she doesn't believe anyone local would "kill someone's cat"."They might have wanted to choke him , but not the cat.""Then you get idiots bringing cats down. It's just like you're taking the piss," Vinnie said."It's like taking a knife to a gun fight. It's just not gonna work."Druery scratched Gus from the race this year.
