The Wonderful Life of a Cat

Cat’s daily routine baffles owner

Sgt Podge, a Norwegian Forest Cat, disappears from his owner’s home in Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, every night. The next morning, the 12-year-old cat can always be found in exactly the same place, on a pavement about one and a half miles (2.4km) away. His owner, Liz Bullard, takes her son to school before collecting Sgt Podge.

It is thought Sgt Podge walks across Meyrick Park Golf Course every night to reach his destination

Ms Bullard also makes the trip at weekends and during school holidays - when her son is having a lie in. She does not know why, after 12 years, Sgt Podge has begun the routine but explained that another woman who lived nearby used to feed him sardines, and that he may be on the look-out for more treats.

Back at home, Sgt Podge has breakfast before going to sleep by a warm radiator.
