The 75-year-old says he likes to watch the enjoyment people get from it as they walk by his home - but admitted he doesn't actually own a cat himself.

"I like seeing people stopping and smiling at them as they pass" he said.

Bolton-born Will previously lived in Scotland before moving to West Yorkshire.

"I've owned many cats over the years, but don't currently own one," he added.
