It's a pet owners biggest fear - that one day their beloved animal will go missing.

We've all seen A4 sheets sellotaped to poles over the years, where a precious pooch or cute kitty has gone AWOL, and more times than not they're never found again. Especially cats.

Well at the start of summer 2017, Peter McFadden's cat disappeared from their home in Dublin. They were away on holidays and when they came back, poor 'Fudge' was nowhere to be seen. 

So they had missing signs printed up, searched high and wide, but no trace. 

That was until this Tuesday morning, when Peter looked out the back door and to his disbelief, there was his big ginger buddy.

Chatting to Dermot and Dave, McFadden says, "Opened the door and in he came bold as brass, 'Hey I'm home. What's the story? Gimme some food'". 

Caller Gavin then had his own bizarre story about a 'zombie cat'.
