Animal psychic called in to track down missing cat after Lennon’s lookalike proves red herring

An Angus psychic was called in to find a missing cat after a lookalike called Tubby proved a red herring.

Sheila Butler took the drastic action in a desperate attempt to find her tabby Lennon, who has been missing for a year-and-a-half.

The Forfar animal lover thought her prayers had been answered when the Scottish SPCA posted a picture of a feline which looked just like him and she took him home.

However the rescued moggy turned out to be a lookalike called Tubby who had been at large for five years.

“Tubby was the double of Lennon and had the same markings,” she said.

A trip to the vet revealed he was the wrong cat as there was no microchip.

Sheila added: “I realised it couldn’t be Lennon and I was absolutely devastated.”

Sheila turned to Angus psychic James Cameron for help only for her hopes to be dashed for a second time when he pronounced the feline dead.

He said: “I believe the cat is in spirit, as I picked up an image of a cat identical to Sheila’s in woodlands which matched those behind her house.”
