Video: Downton Tabby - Telegraph Fans of Downton Abbey, the ITV Sunday night drama, always knew the acid-tongued Dowager Countess was a pussycat at heart - but here we learn just how true that is. The upstairs-downstairs drama's opening credits have been reshot with a whole new set of cast members by a pet rescue centre in New York. Instead of Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery, the characters are all cats. There's Bridget, the tabby, hiding behind the velvet curtains; Tizer and Cinnamon playing with the dinner bell. Missy is padding down the mahogany staircase and Janet, clearly the lady of the house, is munching luxury catfood from a silver platter. Scroll to 0.21 to watch Willy mimicking a scene from Downton by curling up in a maid's cap, while Georgette plays with a feather duster perilously close to an antique lamp. Even better, these pawsome cats are all up for adoption - so fans of Julian Fellowes's show can adopt their very own Lord Grantham, complete with trademark whiskers.
