Woman mistakenly has someone else's cat cremated
In the News
This cat definitely has nine lives when he survived a supposed cremation
The owner was on holiday in Turkey when the neighbours kids said they had found her cat dead in the pond, they even showed her via the doorbell camera
Extremely upset , she arranged for her cat, Ted to be cremated at a cost of £130 while she was away
Then 4 days later while she was still on vacation , a friend , who was feeding Teds sister cat couldn't believe what she saw, Ted , her cat , coming in through the cat flap
The cat had definitely got her tongue
It turned out it wasn't Ted who had drowned , but a similar cat !
Of course she was so relieved , but a bit peeved she had paid £130 to have someone else's cat cremated
Oh well, Ted can spend his old age on 'golden pond' , but hopefully not in it

Not surprised. Was informed by someone who left the veterinarian industry they make all sorts of mistakes, where most are unforgivable…but are swept under the carpet. Not sure how he got on with taking the cases to the authorities, as the initial stages were hard to get anyone interested
hspexy I don't think it was the vets fault in this case H , they were not involved , it was the neighbours kids who contacted the owner on holiday to say the cat had drowned, it looked just like hers on the doorbell camera
If the cat was chipped and had been taken to the vet for cremation instead of straight to the company they might have noticed a different identification , name and address
Saved someone else sixpence ! Bet it was worth all of £130 when her own cat wandered back in again though.Cheeky moggy. 
MelissaLee1 He was probably wondering what all the fuss was about M , he had only been ice skating
I wonder if she might change his name to cinders or ash ley now ?

Worth every penny if it meant I got my babies back..
Cats SHOULD be chipped & neutered that way we could keep on top of the cat population that has exploded & hopefully would be able to know our feline friends fate should anything happen to them..
When I was a mere girl our cat used to walk me & my siblings to the end of our road before we went to school..
One day we heard our cat had been run over on that road & we were heartbroken but when our Mum & us 6 went down & looked it wasn't our cat, very similar markings but our cat was at home!!
These things happen. It's no one's fault. It's one of those horribly sad things that happen sometimes.
