Couple think they've rescued missing pet - turns out they stole stranger's cat
A well-meaning couple who sprang into action to help find their friend's missing cat returned home a little red faced after an embarrassing case of mistaken identity.
Owner Sophie Johnson posted on Facebook urging people in Prestonpans, Scotland, to keep an eye out for her missing mog Lentil, along with a lovely picture of her adorable 'wee scone'.
After word got back to Sophie that little Lentil had been spotted at a new housing development looking 'really muddy', she appealed for her friends to head over and have a look as she was unable to get there herself.
