A Hove kitty has purr-fected his impression of the world's fastest man in time to help celebrate his Olympic glory.

Millions across the world watched in awe on Sunday night as Usain Bolt defended his 100 metre Olympic gold.

And as the Jamaican celebrated with his trademark lightning bolt pose, one cool customer replicated it in front of the TV..

Three-year-old Cash, a Maine coon-Norwegian forest cross cat, has been practising his pose during the Games.

Owner Lydia Fitzsimmons, from Hove, said: “He likes to think of himself as a bit of a sprinter, but to be honest he’s just too fat.”

Cash, who lives with his girlfriend Greta, a two-year-old Bengal, was glued to the screen on Sunday evening to see the Jamaican romp home with a new Olympic record time.

Lydia, 25, added: “He’s got it about spot on I reckon.”
