BABYSHAMBLES - DOHERTY DITCHES DRUGS FOR HIS CATS

Troubled BABYSHAMBLES rocker PETE DOHERTY vowed to give up drugs after almost killing one of his beloved kittens.
The star admits he came close to murdering the feline - with the incident helping him to realise he needed to ditch his habit.
He says, "I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. That was when I was, like, you know, 'I'm a bit of a mess'. It was a bit of a crazy time."
Doherty was released from London's Wormwood Scrubs prison last week (ends11May08) after serving 29 days of a 14 week sentence for violating his probation, brandishing a certificate showing he was free of drugs.
It's not the first time Doherty and his cats have hit the headlines - in September last year (07), he was criticised for appearing to force a kitten to smoke crack from a specially-modified pipe.
