17-day journey for Ziggy the cat

Ziggy the cat used up at least one of his nine lives after surviving for 17 days without food on a 2,300 mile voyage that took him from northern Israel to England. The skinny white cat made his epic trip as a stowaway in a 40-foot container.

His journey began when he wandered into a consignment of plastic goods shipped from Haifa on October 31. It ended when he emerged, starving and dehydrated, at a warehouse in Whitworth in Lancashire today. Despite being exhausted, Ziggy was still able to resist capture by the RSPCA for another five hours.
