Missing one-eyed cat treks through snow to find home


A one-eyed cat from Nottingham proved nothing could keep it from getting home after it trekked five miles in the snow to get back to its owner after being lost for ten days.

Ginger originally escaped from its cage when its owner Jayne Middleton was taking it to Oak House Veterinary Centre in Nottingham.

The 55-year-old thought she had lost her beloved pet after searching high and low for the missing feline, including an initial one-hour hunt in the snow and then two searches every day from when it went missing.

But the four-year-old surprised her worried owner when he returned by himself to the house in Arnold, Notts.

Veterinary nurse John Tuohy added: ‘It is very rare for a cat to make its way back after being so far away.

‘He crossed some busy roads. I have never heard of anything like it before.’

Ginger had to navigate several hazards in order to get back, including the busy A60 road.
