DO YOU recognise this tabby cat?

The lost pet turned up at Paul Wilson's veterinary surgery, in Bishop Auckland, at the weekend, and staff have had no luck in tracing his owner.

The six-year-old neutered male is affectionate and distinctive with his missing eye.

Rachel Booth, practice administrator, said: "We've called him Nelson - we thought it was quite fitting with his one eye.

"He has been very well fed and looked after, so I'm sure someone must be missing him somewhere."
