THEY say cats have nine lives.

Well, Laurie, who is featured in our page three story, has just used up one of them.

He came into this country in the back of a goods vehicle from France.

No-one knows how he got in there or how long he had been travelling for.

But this stowaway kitten survived, although he was just a week old.

And now he’s fighting fit and looking for a new home in Dorset.

There must be an Echo reader out there who will give this story a happy ending.
