A cat that has been missing for over a decade has returned home. Ginger tabby Molly, who is now 16\u00a0years old, disappeared from her home in Gulberwick in 2003.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her owner Lynne Peart, recognised Molly instantly when she turned up outside her house last week due\u00a0to her distinctive markings, which include a black ringed tail.<\/p>\n

\"missing<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was going mad. But I was so sure it was Molly,\u201d said Lynne. \u201cI called out her name and she\u00a0turned around immediately, and then she started yowling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"missing<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI think she’s been living feral as her fur was very thick and matted when she came back. But she’s fat\u00a0enough. She’s looked after herself in her years away. The vet actually said she looks younger than her 16\u00a0years.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Lynne this isn\u2019t the first time that Molly has gone wandering. The longest she had\u00a0disappeared before was seven months.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got her as a baby with her brother Oscar. She was always the more feral cat,\u201d Lynne said. \u201cShe\u00a0would go out and stay away for a few days, but then come back. So when she went missing at first we\u00a0thought she would just come back when she was ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"missing<\/a><\/p>\n

Molly is now settling back in with the family and learning to get on with fellow resident cat Sally,\u00a0however whether she\u2019ll stay this time no one can be sure.<\/p>\n
