Missing for 17 months

Tigger went missing. The ginger tomcat was gone for 17 months then one day turned up at the home of Cats Protection volunteer Sheila Pennell less than 1 mile away from home. Tigger had been in the wars lost weight and fur as well as finding some fleas which suggested a wandering lifestyle. However the microchip gave away her home address and then she was reunited with Jayne Everill and family. It is surprising that he couldn't find his way home - a mile is a long way for cats to roam as the crow flies although they might travel a mile but in a route they have devised and become familiar with. Tigger got lost but is back home now.
