PROLOGUE
Actress Leaves Fortune to Pet!
Dame Agnes Moreland, who passed away last month, left her entire estate, solicitors have revealed, to Etonia Toffee Pudding—a ten-year-old pedigreed Turkish Angora.
The cat was listed as the sole recipient of Ms. Moreland’s £11.2 million fortune. The funds are to be placed in an independently managed trust for the feline’s care.
According to the terms of her will, Ms. Moreland’s only living relative, her nephew, Theodore Moreland, of London, England, will inherit the remainder of the estate upon the cat’s death.
Considered by many to be a grand dame of English theater, Agnes Moreland first gained recognition for her performance as Adelaide in Come the Night in 1951.
During her career she received countless honors and awards, leading to her receiving a DBE in 2012. In her later years she was known for her eccentricity, which included traveling with her pet.
An outside estate manager has been hired to care for the cat and manage the property.
