A cat who vanished from home for the first time in his life turned up at a brewery more than 30 miles away – then repeated the feat weeks later.

Adventurous moggy Peanut disappeared from his Lincolnshire home at the end of June and turned up at the Vat & Fiddle taproom in Nottingham’s Castle Rock Brewery on July 9.

The ‘vocal’ year-old pet was quickly nicknamed Screech by the staff in what was also a nod to the brewery’s strong IPA, Screech Owl,

He spent the rest of the month charming workers until owners Sam Bhamra, 24, and Charley Rawlings, 25, were finally tracked down.

The couple thought the cat must have somehow jumped into the back of a brewery van and made his way from the vicinity of their home in North Hykeham to the city centre brewery 33 miles south west.
