A CAT owner has paid a warm tribute to "the lovely, kind people of Tregadillett" who rallied around after her pet Pippa went missing.

Diana Janicka, of Compass West, Tregadillett, said: "On September 26, at around 4.30pm my beloved cat Pippa (pictured) just disappeared. I had not seen her after that time and so I tried to work out what might have scared her off."

She said that following a chimney fire at her home, which she quickly doused, a young, local lad saw the problem and walked up the drive holding his dogs firmly on leads and this may have upset Pippa.
