A plucky cat whose family thought had died and even held a burial for him has turned up again after seven years.
Black and white moggy Raffael hadn't been seen by his owner Mustafa Javed since December 2016 after disappearing from their home in Trafford, Greater Manchester.
As the months and years passed without a trace of the cat, known affectionately as 'Raffi', the Javed family sadly concluded he must have used up his nine lives.
