Ozzy the flying feline clocked up 63,000 miles (94,000 kms) in 10 days after escaping from his cage on a flight from the Gulf state of Qatar to London and stowing away in the jet's tail.
Jonathan Boyd and Katie Deacon, who adopted Ozzy while working in the Qatari capital, Doha, paid 220 pounds (dlrs 330) to fly him back to Britain on their return.
But when they arrived in London, they were told that he had gone missing from his cage somewhere between Doha and a stopover in Bahrain. British Airways staff searched everywhere, and even put up posters of the white and orange-flecked cat in Bahrain and Doha.
