Appeal to find owner of cat who took 8-mile bus journey to Bristol
In a statement the company says she may have "fur-gotten" where she was going
A bus operator is trying to find the owner of a cat which decided to enjoy an 8-mile ride across the West Country.
First West of England ses she was discovered on a double-decker at Bristol bus station yesterday - having boarded the X1 service in the Backwell area of Somerset.
First West of England said in a statement: "We think she may have fur-gotten where she was going and boarded the bus around the Backwell area.
"Our team in Bristol have bought her food, provided water and gave her a home for the night to ensure she's comfortable and feline well.
"She is microchipped but we've been unable to find her owner.
"Records show she was linked to an address not too far from the Birnbeck Pier area of Weston."
The cat was found on Thursday, which coincided with International Cat Day being celebrated internationally.
First West of England urged people to email bristolmarketing@firstbus.co.uk if they have information about her owner.
