Catmando (1995–2002; also spelt "Cat Mandu"[1]) was a cat who was named "joint leader" of Britain's Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP) from 1999 to 2002, along with his owner, party chairman Howling Laud Hope.

[3][4] During Catmando's time as joint leader, the OMRLP saw its greatest electoral performance to date, fielding 15 candidates in the 2001 general election.

Catmando served as joint leader until his death as a result of a traffic accident in July 2002.

[citation needed] The cat later moved with Hope to the Dog and Partridge public house in Yateley, Hampshire.

Gurkhas, stationed nearby at Aldershot, were intrigued by a name that sounded like the Nepalese capital Kathmandu; subsequently the cat became the subject of a front-page feature in the Nepali Times.
