Cat driven 40 miles under car reunited with owner
Published: June 15, 2006
A cat who was trapped under a car and driven 40 miles (64km) away has been reunited with its owner after being missing for four days.
Gina Mayhew’s cat, Annie, managed to get caught under a car near her home and was taken to the Eden Project.
Ms Mayhew went to the site in Cornwall after being alerted to a possible sighting of the cat.
The missing moggie was found in good health near the visitors’ centre after a search by staff.
Gina Mayhew had spent two days searching for the cat and had sent leaflets to her neighbours.
This prompted a local family to contact her about relatives who had recently been to the Eden Project but en-route had heard meowing coming from underneath the car.
Paws not burnt
On arrival the family checked beneath the car and a cat shot out from underneath.
Ms Mayhew contacted staff at the Eden Project and after a search of the premises Annie was located near the visitors’ centre.
Ms Mayhew said: “She was very nervous and had lost weight, but was absolutely fine. There were no burns on her paws or broken bones, but she’s done a lot of sleeping since she’s been home.”
Eden Project spokesman David Rowe said: “It’s all part of the service. We were delighted to help reunite Gina and Annie after her unscheduled holiday.”
