A CAT with a penchant for jumping into cars has gone missing in the Boslowick area of Falmouth.

Bella, who belongs to Tom Hustler, has not been seen since Saturday.

"She often jumps into cars but this time she got in one where we live at Goldenbank and then jumped out again after travelling around a mile to Boslowick," said Tom, who has been looking for her "many times a day".

The driver, who had been visiting Tom, had not realised that Bella had hopped in.

The four year-old cat, who is black with a grey patch on her chest, is fit and healthy.

"I've read that it can be up to three weeks before they find their way home and from up to six or seven miles away, so I'm not giving up yet. Hopefully she'll make her way back when she gets really hungry," he added.

Bella is microchipped and friendly.

Tom can be contacted on 07773 435393 if Bella is spotted.
