A couple in the UK have been reunited with their cat a decade after he went missing from their canal boat home.
Colin Clayton, 61, and his wife Eva Bellamy, 58, could not believe it when they got the call that their cat Big Ginge had been found.
After getting married in 2011, the couple went on their honeymoon with their pets.
The three cats – Weasel and her offspring Diesel and Big Ginge – were used to living on the canal and regularly hopped on and off the boat.
However, then three-year-old Big Ginge disappeared and was thought lost forever.
Ten years on, the couple received a surprise phone call with the news that Big Ginge had been found in Staffordshire.
“For now we will be keeping him indoors. He seems very content and has shown no interest in venturing out,” Clayton said.
“Big Ginge has had enough stress in his life and we are confident it will all work out.”
