A stowaway New Zealand cat that wandered onto a ship bound for South Korea has been reunited with its owners after a three-week voyage. The cat ended up at a South Korean port where one of its carers collected it and flew it home.
The drama started when the cat, which lives at a dock in the city of New Plymouth, followed a sailor onto a South Korean tanker ship looking for food.
When dock workers at the South Korean port found out what had happened they launched a frantic international effort to get the cat back. James McPherson travelled to Yeosu to collect the sea-faring stowaway.
Although Mr McPherson was delighted to have the cat back, he said, "We'll have to give her a talking to - not to talk to any strange men," he said.
