UK: Whitstable cat travels 70 miles after jumping in two cars




A cat with "no boundaries" ended up making a 140-mile round trip after jumping into two strangers' cars.

Sox the ginger tabby from Herne Bay, Kent, travelled to Whitstable in one car, then got into a vehicle bound for Wallington in south London.

The cat's owner, Jessica Roe, said she often had to collect Sox from various places - including a nightclub.

Sox has since been returned to Ms Roe, who said he is now grounded.

Speaking to BBC Radio Kent, Ms Roe said she was told Sox had got into a person's car on Sunday afternoon. The woman then took him to a vet in Whitstable but he ran off.

"I jokingly said 'Oh god, as long as he doesn't get on the train to London, we'll be okay'," Ms Roe said. .............(more)

Meet Boji — a stray dog who’s bringing joy to commuters every day.

A little while ago, Istanbul’s public transportation department noticed a large, brown dog riding the buses, trams, subways and ferries. The dog, whom they dubbed Boji, seems to know exactly where he's going any time he steps on or off the train.
