Little girl reunited with her pet cat

Heather and Bo

A LITTLE girl who lost her pet cat on the same day as her doting granddad’s funeral has been re-united with the wayward kitty after a frantic fortnight long search.

Heather Wilson, five, was left distraught when Bo disappeared the same day that Barrie Wilson was laid to rest.

It was a double blow because he was the one who gave her the pet as a birthday present.

But a fortnight later the moggie turned up at the Scottish SPCA centre in Dunfermline in Fife where staff were able to track him back to the Wilson family for a surprise reunion.

Missing Tigger found 150 miles from home – two years later

By Oliver Farrimond

A WANDERING cat was re-united with its owner yesterday after going missing for more than two years.

The free-roaming feline, called Tigger, went missing from its Edinburgh home in May 2007, but was picked up just last week by the SSPCA more than 150 miles away in Inverness.

The hefty ginger tomcat was identified through a microchip in its fur, and was taken back down to the SSPCA headquarters in Dunfermline to be picked up by delighted owner Carole Tait.

Carole, 58, said: “I’m absolutely ecstatic, when I got a phone call from the SSPCA the other day I didn’t think for a second it would be about Tigger.

Cat stuck in tree for NINE days

A mischievous moggie was left stuck 60 feet up a tree for nine days until rescuers were finally able to reach it.

Two-year-old Sammy went missing from his home in Fife almost two weeks ago before finally being spotted by his owner clinging onto a high branch in a small wood near their house in Limekilns.

Suzi Morrice, 32, tried to coax her wayward cat down with tuna and cat food for a few days before calling the fire brigade in desperation asking for their expert advice.

But even they were unable to help and in turn she approached animal welfare chiefs at the Scottish SPCA who were also left flummoxed.

In the end only the skill of a tree surgeon was able to help save the day and reunite Sammy with his worried owners.

Suzi said: “Sammy went missing two weeks ago and I found him stuck up the tree when I went for a walk four days later. We tried everything – I even put tuna on a 20 foot pole and waved it in front of him to try and persuade him to come down.”
