Cat makes surprise return home four days after being 'cremated'

The myth of cats having nine lives was tested to its limit when Nicci Knight’s beloved feline Ted walked through the catflap after being “cremated”.

Knight, from Newby, North Yorkshire, was on holiday in Turkey when she was told by neighbours that Ted had drowned in their pond, the BBC reported. She arranged for a funeral to take place in Thornaby while she and her family were away – but four days after the ceremony, Ted walked back into their home.

The cat sitter told Knight that Ted had just walked through the catflap. “I didn’t believe it at first,” Knight said. “I had to get her to FaceTime me live so that I could see that Ted was actually alive.”

He wouldn’t stay away,
He was sittin on the porch the very next day,
The cat came back
He didn’t want to roam.
The very next day he was home sweet home.
