OLLIE the cat has used all nine lives in an ordeal that has astounded experts.
The siamese was accidentally locked in a truck for 52 days, surviving on dried noodles and water leaking into the vehicle. Owners Jenny and Andrew Harston, of Chelsea, had almost given up hope of seeing the purebred alive when he was found in a neighbour's truck. They wandered the streets searching for the two-year-old pet and passed its "prison" many times. "We could see the truck from the street and Ollie must have heard us calling his name," Mr Harston said. "The neighbours had seen our missing cat notice and had checked their shed and cars, but didn't check the truck, because it was rarely used. "Ollie lasted 52 nights and 53 days in that truck and it was only when the neighbour opened it up and saw something move inside that they realised he was there." Ollie had halved his body weight to 1.2kg and looked like a skeleton when he emerged. "It's a miracle. He ate two-minute noodles, although we're not sure how many packets were there, and he got a little water dripping through the truck roof," Mr Harston said. | ||||||||

"I guess I should warn you: If I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I said." |
