A family cat which disappeared 14 months ago has piled on the pounds - after he was found living in a nearby PET FOOD factory.

Two-year-old Norwegian Forest cat Clive disappeared from his home in December 2014 leaving owners Tanya and Jonathan Irons devastated.

The couple, who have two-year-old daughter Elizabeth, put up posters around the neighbourhood and launched an appeal on Facebook but to no avail.

Clive was finally found on Wednesday by staff at a pet food factory two miles away, who had noticed treats had been going missing.

He was thinking... "Should I go home to my humans or stay here in the pet food warehouse? Decisions, decisions..."

4. BWAHAHA! I love cats. There is this big yellow tom who liked to hunt my birds from my giant bird

feeder. One day I came home and he was sitting in it just so waiting for birds to fly into his mouth. LOL! One actually did to my Spike. They were swooping her kennel when I set her outside in the sunshine. One of them actually flew into Spike's mouth and became wedged. Spike looked ASTOUNDED and I was jumping up and down screaming. I finally got a towel and reached in pulling the bird out. It flew off unharmed. The poor cat couldn't do anything but sit with a bird stuff in his mouth. Poor bird too.
