One missing for five years Cat was discovered off the coast of Scotland on an oil rig. As the PA news agency reported on Friday, employees on the platform had found the animal the day before in a container that had arrived from Peterhead. They then informed the animal protection organization SPCA.

The cat previously lived as a stray near the port city jail for several years and was christened “One-eyed Joe” by corrections officers and fed food from the prison canteen, SPCA worker Aimee Findlay said, according to the PA . How the cat finally got into the container is not known.

Kater was moved to his previous home

After the stray was flown to the mainland by helicopter, it turned out that he was chipped and his real name was Dexter. The animal had been reported missing for five years. He was returned to his former home.

“We’re so glad he was well taken care of while he was missing. But we were even happier that he was able to be reunited with his original owner,” Findlay said, according to the report. (dpa/fra)
