AFTER a night spent sleeping by the patio doors in hope, one animal lover was reunited with her pet after it went missing in Great Yarmouth.

Black and white indoor cat Oliver disappeared from Blake Road, where it was being cared for by the parents of Kerry Pieri, who was away from her home in Surrey on business. However, after more than a week the two were reunited early Wednesday morning at the home. Kerry said: “I had been sleeping by the window just in case, and I saw him pass at around 1am. I went out there with some treats, and he nearly bit me hand off he was so hungry! I woke the whole household last night screaming with joy.”
