Cat care: Russell Brand wants to take his cat Morrissey to America

Asked whether he had resettled in Hollywood, Brand said: "I would never do that because the cat lives here, my cat, and someone has got to feed him.

"You can't just send him the occasional postcard saying things are going well. I've got to look after him.

"He hissed at me yesterday. I tried to explain to him but he doesn't understand concepts such as international travel and work. He certainly doesn't understand the concept of a bikini."

The comedian told GMTV: "I am getting him a pet passport which means he can travel around as much as he likes. Unfortunately, they don't do photos. I was really looking forward to that."

Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor Brand has been dating I Kissed a Girl star Perry since September.

Today he was puckering up to presenter Lorraine Kelly under the mistletoe on the GMTV sofa.

He joked of his former womanising: "There was a deep craving within me. I mistook it for lust. I thought I was promiscuous. It turns out I was thorough.

"I'm happy. It's really nice and relaxing (being in a relationship)."

Brand has previously hinted that he could be ready to tie the knot, saying: "I'd love to marry Katy - hopefully it's heading that way."

Today he said on marrying: "I don't know. That would be good. I do want to have children."
