Lost cat reunited with family after seven years missing

A Glasgow family has been reunited with their cat after he went missing on Boxing Day seven years ago.

Grey tabby Kylo followed owner Gavin Hopper outside when he walked his dog in Maryhill Park in December 2017, but Kylo did not return home.

Then two weeks ago, Gavin and his wife - Frankie - received a phone call from a vet four miles away in Bishopbriggs, saying the cat had been found alive and well.

Kylo - mistaken for a female and renamed Poppy - had been living with a woman across the city. He has now returned home and settled back in.

Frankie said they had looked for months for Kylo, with their dog Harley searching the park for his scent.

When the family moved house they even asked the new owners to get in touch if the cat ever came back.

It all changed when Kylo was identified by a vet, who scanned his microchip when he was brought in to be vaccinated.

Frankie said: "They asked, 'Do you want your cat":[]}
