An adventurous cat joined his unwitting neighbour on a 100-mile round trip after stowing away in his van. The engineer made the three-hour ferry crossing to fix broadband on a Scottish island without noticing the pet was his passenger.
Doug Craig, 31, from Oban, Argyll and Bute, had no clue that his neighbour’s cat Tia had snuck into the back of his van. The fluffy feline had been quietly hidden away as he made the trip to Arinagour on Coll in the Inner Hebrides.
The engineer only noticed Tia after he had fixed a fault in the island fire station’s broadband wiring. He said: “It was a last-minute trip due to an urgent data fault at the voluntary fire station on Coll. I was working for a few hours before I realised Tia was there.
