Man reunited with missing cat after five years
Bert the cat is back home, although he is missing his tail since his owners last saw himA man has been reunited with his beloved pet cat, five years after he went missing.On Tuesday he got a phone-call from a vet in nearby Newton Abbot who had scanned Bert's microchip after he had been picked up as a stray.Bert went missing while Mr Smee and his wife lived in the Milber part of Newton Abbot in south Devon, but they moved to nearby Abbotskerswell a few months later.
Mr Smee has no idea where Bert has been or who has looked after him: "You can see how well he's been looked after - I'm not sure of the circumstances of where he lived or went to, but whoever has had him for the five years we thank them for looking after him."One change is that he has returned with his tail amputated, indicating that someone had taken him to a vet after some sort of incident.
"Bert was always a bit greedy and tended to try and snaffle Bambi's food as well, and the last time I saw him I was shooing him out of the door so Bambi could eat some of her dinner," added Mr Smee, who works as a programme coordinator at South Devon College."If it wasn't for the microchip we wouldn't have found him.
