Missing cat: Woman reunited with pet after six years

Bow had a brother called Arra who also went missing while living on the narrowboat, and Jill hopes he will return too.

“As brothers, they were so close, they slept together all the time,” she said.

Jill adopted a new cat and also got a dog after Bow went missing, but fortunately he is getting on well with his new siblings.

“He can’t go out yet, I’ve got to keep him in another week because I don’t want him running off again,” she said.

“I don’t know whether he was lost, but he’s back after six years.

“I never gave up hope, and I won’t give up on Arra either.”
