A missing cat from Midlothian, Scotland has been found 478 miles south of his home – in Woodlands Veterinary Surgery, Plymouth! Owner Linda Jansen declares she has no idea how Sampson got so far from home, but likes to believe he walked -“Forget the Proclaimers, my cat really did walk 500 miles.” However he managed it, the Janson family is delighted to have him back, after Eagle Couriers shipped him back home for free; “I don’t suppose we’ll ever find out how the animal ended up on the south coast of England” said Director Fiona Deas, “but we can make sure it gets home safely”.

I’m not sure of Sampson’s breed, but if his namesake if anything to go by he must be a longhaired cat! From an owner’s point of view, it is very interesting to know that Sampson was found thanks to the microchip in his neck. I for one think the Jansens should have their cat insurance policy reviewed and the price lowered – clearly Sampson is a hardy individual!
