    [​IMG] A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place.

    Sgt Podge, a Norwegian Forest Cat, disappears from his owner's home in Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, every night.

    The next morning, the 12-year-old cat can always be found in exactly the same place, on a pavement about one and a half miles (2.4km) away.

    His owner, Liz Bullard, takes her son to school before collecting Sgt Podge.

    She said the routine began earlier this year, when Sgt Podge disappeared one day.

    Ms Bullard rang the RSPCA and began telephoning her neighbours to see if anyone had seen him.

    An elderly woman who lived about one and a half miles away called back to say she had found a cat matching Sgt Podge's description.

    Ms Bullard collected him but within days he vanished again. She rang the elderly woman to find Sgt Podge was back outside her home.

    (More.)

    News like this always amuses me... if only cats could talk.

    That gave me a chuckle. Cats can sometimes have the oddest behaviour.

    Ms. Bullard is become conditioned to giving the good Sgt. a ride home. Pavlovian response isn't just for dogs anymore. :hahaerr:

    How very odd. Must be annoying for the owner.

    Lol, cats have been training their owners for years. I'm not terribly suprised at this.
