Cat's return after three years 'takes the Biscuit'

The return of a family cat after going missing three years ago really "takes the biscuit", its owners say.

Keith Bigland's pet cat, Biscuit - originally owned by his late mother Shirley - had escaped from their home in March, Cambridgeshire.

But last Wednesday, Mr Bigland and his wife Su were left in disbelief when a local vet called them to say their gold and white pet, now 14, had been found.

And, he was spotted just a mile away from their house.
