Lost British cat spotted on webcam by woman in US

After seven months, Abbi and Darren Rendell had given up any hope of ever seeing their cat again.

Jerry the tabby had run away when the couple moved house from Staffordshire to Cornwall and it was feared he had got lost and died.

But then, thanks to the wonders of technology, Jerry was spotted - by a woman nearly 4,000 miles away in America.



Deb Wilgus, an avid Anglophile from Indiana, had regularly seen the two-year-old cat out and about in the middle of the night on a webcam outside the Claremont hotel in Polperro , Cornwall.

When she saw an appeal on the same website she immediately passed on the amazing news.

Now Mr and Mrs Rendell are staking out the hotel and are convinced they will find their long lost pet.
