A cat that hadn't been seen by his owners for 13 years has been reunited with them on the Isle of Wight.

The island's Cats Protection Adoption Centre took in what they thought was a stray from Binstead, but when they scanned him for a microchip, the details were still up to date.

Writing on their Facebook page, the charity said:

That was one phone call the owners weren't expecting.

So here is Jess, 16yrs old male cat.

Wow, the power of the microchip. If only Jess could tell us about his adventures, think he'll be grounded for a while now.

So if your cat's not chipped, book it asap with your vet.
