Troubled BABYSHAMBLES rocker PETE DOHERTY vowed to give up drugs after almost killing one of his beloved kittens.
The star admits he came close to murdering the feline - with the incident helping him to realise he needed to ditch his habit.
He says, "I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. That was when I was, like, you know, 'I'm a bit of a mess'. It was a bit of a crazy time."
Doherty was released from London's Wormwood Scrubs prison last week (ends11May08) after serving 29 days of a 14 week sentence for violating his probation, brandishing a certificate showing he was free of drugs.
It's not the first time Doherty and his cats have hit the headlines - in September last year (07), he was criticised for appearing to force a kitten to smoke crack from a specially-modified pipe.
