Couple mourn beloved cat and bury remains in garden - only for pet to turn up next day

A heartbroken couple who buried the remains of their beloved cat after he was "hit by a car" has been left stunned after their actual pet turned up the next day.

Danielle and Sam Smith were contacted by a neighbour on May 14 after they found a black and white cat that had passed away, as they believed it to be the couple's 11-month-old pet Lucky.

Sam, 31, went to identify the cat - which had almost identical markings to Lucky - and brought the dead animal home to his partner, who broke down in tears.
