Peter (1950 – 5 November 1964), also known as "the Marylebone mog",[1] was a cat who lived at Lord's Cricket Ground in London from 1952 to 1964.
[2][3][4][5] The obituary appeared in the 1965 edition of Wisden, under the name "CAT, PETER".
It described him as "a well-known cricket-watcher" who "could often be seen prowling on the field of play"; he "loved publicity" and "frequently appeared on the television".
[6] Despite this, it seems that no photographs of him are known, although a photo of his successor, Sinbad, was snapped during a Southern Schools v The Rest match in 1963.
[7] Peter is mentioned in the title of a 2006 anthology of Wisden obituaries, Peter, the Lord's Cat: And Other Unexpected Obituaries from Wisden.
