A cat went on an action-packed 90-mile journey after becoming trapped in a lorry skip.

Siamese Charlie Chan, who was driven away from his home in Ashford, narrowly avoided being tipped into a waste crusher during his ordeal.

The lorry’s driver eventually found Charlie and took him home - only to be bitten by the stressed-out pet.

Meanwhile, over in Herne Bay, Ollie the cat also showed he had nine lives.

When he went missing the Chattenton family searched high and low.

But after five days they had almost given up hope of seeing the eight-month-old moggy again - until they heard a miaow from inside three-year-old Joel’s new bed.

Inquisitive Ollie had got inside the base of the cabin bed while it was being put together, and there he stayed until his cry for help was heard.

“It’s really quite bizarre – his coat’s fine, he’s eating normally and he didn’t even go to the toilet while he was in there,” said Gayle Chattenton.
