Tabby survives a month under landslide
A tabby cat called Tigger is back at home after spending more than a month buried alive under a landslide.

Tigger was barely alive and unable to walk when he squirmed into the home of a couple who live in Ilfracombe, Devon. It is thought he kept himself alive by licking moisture off the rubble and lost so much weight he crawled to freedom through a crack.

Baghdad cat makes six week trip to UK in tank
A kitten has been found in a British Army tank after it arrived back in the UK from Iraq.

The black and white kitten, named Gracie, is believed to have crept into the tank near Baghdad. Her journey to the UK took six weeks and she survived the ordeal by eating bugs and lapping up condensation from the vehicle’s walls. Gracie’s handler Faith Grant, said: “She was just skin and bone when she arrived. It’s amazing that she survived at all, being so young. She was so tiny and we had to feed her milk through a syringe.” Gracie is called “the kitten of mass destruction” because she is so lively.

‘Miracle cat’ settles into new home
A cat which was trapped for 17 days in a ship container from Israel has settled into its new home in Loughborough.

It’s believed Fizzy wandered into the metal container in Tel Aviv and survived the 3,000-mile trip by licking condensation from its walls. Fizzy had to spend six months in quarantine before she could be given to new owner Natasha Phair. Natasha is a former employee at SodaStream, the Peterborough factory where Fizzy ended up after his amazing voyage. The firm and its staff christened Fizzy and donated money to pay for her board while in quarantine. The RSPCA says Natasha has been visiting Fizzy each week in quarantine to get to know her.
