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.”

Knight soon realised she had paid £130 to cremate someone else’s cat. When she later went to collect the ashes, she saw the urn had been labelled “Not Dead Ted”.

Sounds like a really good reason not to let an animal you care about roam town on their own..

But what do I know.

Never-outdoor cats live 4 times as long and aren't absolute killing machines for songbirds the entire time.

If you hate mosquitoes, get your friends to keep their cats at home.
