  A man whose cat had been missing for a month was baffled when it was found more than 100 miles away from his home.

  Adie Morrissey feared the worst after Snowy failed to return to her home in Covingham, near Swindon.

  But she had been enjoying herself by the seaside 102 miles away in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.

  Mr Morrissey, 48, received a call from a vet to say that 13-year-old Snowy, who was microchipped, had been found by a builder who dropped her off at the surgery.

  It is thought that Snowy had climbed into the back of a van, which then travelled to the resort.

  Mr Morrissey drove to Bognor Regis to collect her last Tuesday.

  "I was so surprised and have been wondering how she got down there," Mr Morrissey told the Swindon Advertiser.

  "Snowy is quite inquisitive and likes to get into places so she must have got into the back of a van as there is no way she walked.

  "I hope she has learned her lesson but I am delighted to have her back."

  A friend of mine in England got a cat that walked more than a 100 miles from the new home back to his old home. The new owner of old house called and returned him the cat. I think cats have some territorial sense.
