His owners, who are travelling to collect him, said Pinks' went missing from their home in Aldershot five years ago.The family moved two years after his disappearance.Astrid Eaves, Pinks' owner said: "He has a identichip, every time you move they update the address."I got a phone call from the vets saying we think we've got your cat. At first I thought 'this is a joke'."Pinks, who had an identical twin brother who died in February, is being cared for by the vets who found the family's details.Stuart Finbow, workshop mechanic at McAllisters Recovery, said staff had nicknamed the cat Betty."The owners were ecstatic, if your cat goes missing after five years you don't expect to see it again," he added."I'm going to miss the cat, I've been coming in to work in the morning and feeding him and [now] he's not here."Source: BBC
