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.

CCTV footage captures 'child ghost' jumping over car

Lisa Rigley, 44, and husband Phil, 51, set up the camera outside their Nottingham home after a series of attacks on their cars.

But when they went through the film they saw a strange shape fly into their driveway and clamber over their Volvo estate.

The ghostly pest then vanished out of shot before reappearing on the opposite side of the road.

Mother-of-two Mrs Rigley, said: 'I'm absolutely gobsmacked by this. I've got the footage here, it's the image of a young child about four or five.

'Our neighbour came over to ask if we could go through the tape after she had some ornaments stolen from her front garden.

'We went through the tape to see if we could see anyone walking past our gate at the time of the theft and saw this weird hoodie-ghost jumping on our car.'

She added: 'It really was spooky. It was one of those weird feelings where you just think to yourself, 'what on earth is it?

'It looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost but it was certainly leaping all over the bonnet of our Volvo Estate. It's a ghost, it's got to be.

Her husband added: 'I am cynical about ghosts because I don't believe in them but this footage is strange.'
