TREGAGLE, a hamlet near Penallt in the lower Wye Valley, has been the scene of a mystery – as an unknown cat has been trying to break into a house that is not his own.

The cat appears on the Forest of Dean Cats Protection Facebook page, where they are appealing for anyone who may know his identity, or that of his owners, to come forward with the information. They described him as 'trying to gate crash' the house.

They added: "He will be going to the vet soon to see if he has a microchip, but in the meantime does anyone recognise him or know where he comes from?"

Anyone with information about this cat burglar can contact Cats Protection on 01594 841511, or contact them via Facebook.
