Webcam spots missing cat - Pet insurance quote

Posted : 08-05-2008

A US woman spotted a missing cat from 4,000 miles away, after seeing it walk past a webcam.

The tabby, called Jerry, had disappeared after its owners Abbi and Darren Rendell moved from Staffordshire to Cornwall, reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, Deb Wilgus who lives in Indiana in the US spied the cat walking around the Claremont Hotel in Cornwall as she watched the webcam.

She saw an appeal to find the missing cat on the same website and passed on the sighting to Jerry's owners.

Now the owners are staking out the hotel in the hope of finding their lost pet.

Mrs Rendell told the newspaper: "About three weeks after we moved in Jerry decided to take himself off on a walkabout and we haven't seen him since.

"Then we got this message from a woman in America saying she had seen him and when I looked at the webcam picture I knew it was him instantly."

Last week, it was reported by the Daily Telegraph that a Lancashire cat is believed to have made the trip from Burnley to London and back by hitching lifts with passing lorries.
