A FAMILY'S delight at being reunited with their lost pet turned sour when they found it was the wrong cat.
Now they are faced with two problems - returning the cat to its rightful owners and renewing their search for their missing pet.
The black cat called Mikey went missing while it was staying with Rachael Darbyshire of Harpur Hill while her sister, who lives in Sheffield, was on holiday.
Posters put up appealing for information led to numerous calls and a cat matching the description was found in the Pavilion Gardens.
It wasn't until Miss Darbyshire's sister took 'Mikey' to vets in Sheffield for a check up that it was discovered that although the cat was black, roughly the same size and age and had the same distinctive white patch of fur on its chest, it was not hers.
Mikey recently had the end of a toe on his left hind foot removed, yet the captured cat had all his toes intact.
Anyone with any information that will help return the cats to their original homes is asked to contact Rachael on 01298 24102 or 07971 205093.
