Hi, I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you an association with the telegraph.

My name is David Laura commentator of a BBC Radio 5 live and BT sport and I'm joined of course by TV's Catherine Whittaker from your sport fame.

Catherine how are you doing? TV's Catherine Whittaker.

Thing has the first time anybody said that I'm doing very well. Thanks David. How are you?

Oh good. I'm very well. I hear that not all is well in the family of pets in the Whittaker household after your mum drew a painted lovely picture of one of your dogs and Rose is not too pleased.

Is that right? Rosie's not too pleased. So so without without getting into the complexities of the the Whittaker family pet setup.

One of one of our dogs that we had many is Bella who's featured in photos. She actually lives with my aunt and uncle up in Staffordshire now.

So we see her when she's on holiday. She comes for holidays with Rosie but she's still very much a beloved dog and she is rather older than Rosie.

She's getting on a bit now. She's 13 and so my mum painted a very very beautiful portrait of Bella for me for my birthday.

It's a lovely lovely gift and Paul Rosie doesn't understand perhaps that you know there's she all being well.

There should be another 10 years or so for my mum to paint Rosie but it's difficult to communicate that to a dog.

So that's why she was looking so thoroughly thoroughly annoyed in the picture that I saw.

Yes, I mean she did have a lovely weekend Rosie. I don't want to communicate the joy that Rosie experiences on a daily basis.

I see in utter clover so yeah and one day she too will be immortalized in pastel but today is not her day.

Okay so before we get on to talking about FedCarp and and Grigor Dimitrov and Alex Sverrev and Maria Sharapova's wild card and all the pole vaults that we've been running. Any other pet news?

I've got any tennis podcast pet David. He doesn't know it yet but I've got a cat.

I've got a cat. He doesn't know what he's got himself in for.

Crank it. What's the cat's name? His name is Magic. He's 11. We rescued him from Battersea and he's lovely.

I mean he is carrying under a cupboard at the moment. He doesn't know what's going on but he's only been here two days.

So give him a chance to get settled before he has his induction into the tennis podcast pet Hall of Fame.

Right, Magic. Hello Magic.
