Two days later she was found wandering the streets of Finchley, north London, by Tara Kauser. Miss Kauser posted a brief message on gumtree.com, saying that she had found a cat and was hoping to trace its owner.
Back in Lancashire, Angel Jones, 23, who has had Silver since she was a kitten, went her computer on April 19 and entered the key words “missing cat”, “tabby” and “tiger stripe” into a search engine. This took her to Miss Kauser's posting and the two women duly “spoke” to each other by text. When Miss Jones later received a photograph of a bedraggled cat she was “99.9 per cent certain” that it was Silver.
The only problem was that by this time the cat had vanished again. She reappeared another eight days later - on April 26 in the street outside her home in Hapton.
”She was very dirty and smelled of diesel,” said Miss Jones. “I don't know how she'd managed to get back, but she certainly looked as though she'd been on her travels.
Her mother, Angela, 59, is convinced that Silver somehow got a lift on a lorry that had parked up at a depot near the family home. ”On the day she disappeared my husband, Jim, was fitting a cat flat and Silver was getting under his feet. He told her to go away and she did – all the way to London. Her daughter said: “Silver has behaved just like a teenager. After dad shouted at her, she went off in a huff”.
