    I go with the swimming theory!

    Stray American cat 'found wandering in Oxford'

    A stray cat that was wandering the streets of Oxford was found to have been registered in the USA when rescuers did a microchip scan on it.

    The RSPCA says it has no idea how the cat, nicknamed Jasper, got to Britain, says BBC Online.



    And it has been unable to trace Jasper's owners in the USA.

    It is now hoping someone will recognise the animal, which was found in Campbell Road in the city.

    RSPCA inspector Doug Davidson said Jasper was friendly and 'a good ambassador for the USA'.

    He said he had three theories on how he managed to get across the Atlantic.

    "The first is that he's a strong swimmer, the second is that he belongs to Americans living in Oxford and the third would be that it was a British family in the USA who adopted him and then brought him back," he said.

    Jasper is being looked after at the Firs Cattery in Farmoor until his owners can be traced.

    Does he still have 9 lives with the exchange rate???

    Wow that is some story. I guess only the cat knows exactly how he got where he was.
    I hope an owner shows up to put some light on the subject.

    Oh, I hope we find out what the story behind this one is!

    Wow, what a mystery.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    That's what I was hoping too. So often you hear the beginning of a story and then never hear the outcome. I hope you follow through on this one, Richard.
