A couple from Scotland have been reunited with their cat following his 150-mile mystery journey to Cumbria.Steven and Laura Buick said they had all but given up hope of finding Rocco after he disappeared from their Edinburgh home three weeks ago.
However, he was discovered at the Tebay service station, and taken to the Animal Rescue Centre near Grayrigg.
He had no collar but had been been microchipped, which allowed his owners to be identified.
It is not known how Rocco came to be so far from home, but one theory is he may have stowed away on board a lorry, and then taken up a temporary home at the Tebay service station.
Rebecca Walker, of the rescue centre, described the result as remarkable.
She said: "It's rare for cats to be microchipped, but to have come this far it's just crazy really."
Rocco was reunited with his owners on Sunday, who said they were delighted to have him back.
