London
(ANI):
'I
Dreamed
A
Dream" singer
Susan
Boyle
is
said
to
have
turned
down
a
chance
to
move
into
a
10-million-pound
mansion,
as
she
does
not
want
to
uproot
her
beloved
pet
cat
Pebbles.
Sony
Music
executives
offered
to
rent
her
the
house
in
an
exclusive
Californian
community
after
learning
her
council
house
in
Scotland
had
been
broken
into.
But
Boyle,
48,
who
is
Sony"s
golden
girl
after
selling
more
than
eight
million
copies
of
her
debut
album,
was
worried
that
a
move
would
upset
her
10-year-old
cat.
“Pebbles
doesn"t
want
to
move.
She"s
lived
there
all
her
life
and
cats
hate
upping
sticks," the
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying.
Sony
offered
her
all
the
trappings
of
comfort
and
was
blown
away
when
she
refused.
“Susan
told
us
she
couldn"t
possibly
be
happy
without
her
cat
with
her,
even
though
we
told
her
we"d
fly
Pebbles
over
here
too,"
a
Sony
source
said.
“She
seemed
terribly
sad
but
said
she
feared
her
pet
might
not
survive
the
flight
and,
even
if
it
did,
might
not
settle
by
the
ocean.
She
blew
us
away.
We
even
offered
her
a
housekeeper,
assistant
and
a
chauffeur
but
she
stuck
to
her
guns,"
the
source
revealed.
Boyle
is
adamant
she
will
never
leave
her
four-bedroom
semi
in
Blackburn,
West
Lothian,
which
is
estimated
to
be
worth
about
80,000
pounds,
and
which
she
has
lived
in
since
childhood.
“She
is
a
home-buddy.
I
couldn"t
see
her
leaving
everyone
she
has
here,"
a
lifelong
friend
of
the
singer
said.
Scottish
presenter
Ross
King,
who
lives
in
Los
Angeles,
thinks
she
is
right
to
stay
put.
“LA
is
the
toughest
of
tough
towns
to
live
in.
There
are
people
here
who
might
try
to
take
advantage
of
her.
I
think
she
would
find
it
very
very
hard,"
he
added.
