There's also Bumble the budgie who machinates with a magpie outdoors, Zoom the tortoise, Houdini the bunny that confounds the magician. Bears, Andrew Lloyd Webber bringing out Dogs the Musical, tortoises, snakes, a magician's rabbit. A good range but the one that stood out for me was the supervillain cat's diary - that was the only original part of the whole thing and I'd have loved a whole novel in that vein! Here is a small selection of some of our favourite pieces from The World’s Worst Pets. We think you’ll agree they really are rather charming and on occasion ever so slightly terrifying. Good pets, bad pets, supervillain pets, pets as big as a house and pets that could eat you in one gulp—these are the most hilarious and horrendous animals around.
