'Heartbroken' cat makes the long journey home

A homesick cat walked a hundred kilometres back home after being given away by its Beijing owner, a news report said on Thursday.
The three-year-old cat ran away from its new home and spent 40 days finding its way back to its old owner in the Chinese capital, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily.
The female owner, who had given the cat away to a friend outside the city, was stunned when the cat turned up on her doorstep on Tuesday, the newspaper said.
The cat had shed 2,5kg and weighed just 800g when it arrived home. The owner told the newspaper she would never let the cat go again.
