King of the road; Wandering cat turns up 450 miles from home after year on the run

King of the road: Runaway cat found 400 miles away
Journey’s end: Pablo with cattery worker Sarah Adie after he hitched a ride to Scotland.


A wandering cat is set to be reunited with his owner after hitching a 725km (450-mile) ride to Scotland.


Pablo, a nine-year-old silver tabby, disappeared from his home in Brockley, south London, last October.
The travelling feline, who goes by the nickname Six Dinner Sid, was found this week when he strolled into a branch of TSB bank in Rosyth, Fife.
After learning how to activate the bank’s automatic door the moggy settled down for a nap on an armchair.
Pablo was handed over to the Cats Protection charity who discovered his microchip was registered to an address in London.
‘He is such a character and a real survivor. I thought he had just shacked up with someone else,’ explained shocked owner Siobhan Campbell.
‘It is fantastic to hear the news. It’s fabulous. He is lovely, he is a gorgeous cat. He was a real king of the road.
‘There might be a street party for him when he gets back. I am really looking forward to seeing the look on his face when he sees us and realises that he’s home.’
The tabby, who is believed to have hopped into a lorry or removal van which was travelling north, is being flown back to his London home.
