A cat surprised its owners by walking through the cat flap days after it was thought to have been cremated.
Nicci Knight was on holiday with her family in Turkey when she was told by her neighbours they had found her cat, Ted, drowned in their pond.
She quickly organised for the body to be cremated in Thornaby while she was away. However, four days after the ceremony, Ted walked into her home and she realised she had cremated a mystery cat.
Four days later, the cat sitter told Ms. Knight that Ted had just walked through the cat flap.
“I didn’t believe it at first,” she said. “I had to get her to FaceTime me live so that I could see that Ted was actually alive.”
The truth of the matter quickly dawned on her.
“I’ve paid £130 to cremate someone else’s cat,” she said.
When she later went to collect the cat’s ashes, she saw the urn had been labelled “Not Dead Ted.”
