Cat among the pigeons, and the swans, is rescued

A cat who was stranded among the pigeons — and some ducks and swans too — was reunited with her owner yesterday after six months away from home.

Two-year-old Timera was finally rescued from the island at the centre of Cork City’s wildfowl refuge, The Lough, after city officials launched a complex cat-recovery-operation.

And remarkably, she was found less than half a mile from where her owner lives.
