There’s a cat with a house and a trust fund, but will it last for all nine lives, especially in a down economy?

Time will tell for Tinker the cat, whose wealthy owner in London, England died recently leaving the feline the bulk of an estate worth just under $1 million.

But for now, Tinker is in the lap of luxury. The former stray now lives by himself in a London house valued at $500,000. Tinker also has a $160,000 trust fund to keep him in catnip, cream and fine seafood.

When Tinker dies, the estate will pass to the trustees, Ann and Eugene Wheatley, who deliver Tinker’s food and milk each day.
