Yeah, so we don’t really know if this picture is Pete Doherty . . . so we’re not sure that Pete Doherty would actually be stupid enough to get his cat(s) addicted to crack . . .

. . . even though witnesses once saw him feed marijuana joints to pigeons. It’s just so difficult to pinpoint this sort of thing:

Junkie Pete Doherty is snapped appearing to give his kitten crack from a mini-pipe he made specially for it.

Sickened pals who leaked the picture claimed the warped rocker regularly gets the pet smashed.

They said it passes out with its paws in the air, suffers mood swings and even thinks it can fly.

One added: “In Pete’s mind it is the only one who understands him now.”

Remember, this is the former boyfriend of Kate Moss, who managed to get caught on tape doing several lines of cocaine, but Scotland Yard concluded that they had no compelling evidence that she was in fact doing cocaine. Ahem.

Last night the RSPCA said of the kitten picture: “It is hard to launch an investigation into possible abuse from just a photograph. There needs to be more evidence.”

These pictures never amounted to anything either. What’s up on that side of the pond, anyway?
