Lost cat reunited with family after seven years missing

Frankie said that even staff at the vet were shocked to learn where their cat had been for years.

She added: “He had showed up to this wee woman’s back door and she just took him in.

“She thought he was a girl and she’d been calling him Poppy this whole time.”

Frankie said she sympathised with the woman who had cared for Kylo and wondered if they were doing the right thing bringing him home.

“She’s really looked after him,” she said.

“A lot of people said you must be really angry, why didn’t she ever take him to a vet and I can’t even think about that.

“I just think if it wasn’t for her, maybe he wouldn’t have been here so I’m just really happy that we’ve got him back.”
