Keith Richards thinks his mother killed his cat

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards believes that his cat was killed by his mother.

The 72-year-old rocker, who had a pet mouse and a cat, said his late mother Doris was not a fan of pets in their home, reported Femalefirst.

"It must have been her off more than I realized. She just said, 'It's gone away.' I did a painting of the cat and wrote MURDERER under it and put it on her door. I called it Gladys. It was a traumatic time," Richards said.

The musician is still an animal lover and and continues to keep dogs.

"At the moment I only have two, because two died. They reached the end of their string; and they looked at me and said, I'm leaving now.' I did love them.
