Pete Doherty has bought three new cats. The latest additions to the rocker's family of felines has brought his total to 10.

The Babyshambles frontman has also reportedly purchased several pregnant mice for his pets to feed on.

It is thought Pete, 29, is letting the rodents roam around his London home for the cats to catch.

Earlier this week, Pete revealed he realised his drug use was spiralling out of control after he attacked one of his beloved pets while high. He said: "I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. It was a bit of a crazy time."

The musician was caught up in a cat controversy last year when it was alleged he had been feeding one of his animals crack cocaine.

A friend revealed: "Pete thinks it's hilarious to get it wasted. He even made a mini-crack pipe out of a bottle so it can get the maximum hit."

Pete's band Babyshambles played their first show since the singer left prison on Tuesday night.
