A surrealist artist who created the internet sensation "Topiary Cat" says he was inspired by a visit to Hall Barn, in Beaconsfield. Richard Saunders was inspired to put the Russian Blue (appropriately disguised) into the landscape by a topiary hedge shaped like a cloud. He made that first picture 5 years ago and Tolly has subsequently appeared reclining beside the seaside, drinking from a lake and towering over a suburban garden. One of those pictures has been seen by over 3 million people on Facebook. He told 5 live's Phil Williams what inspired him and what's next for Tolly. This clip is originally from Phil Williams on Tuesday 31 May 2016.
