Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
BRADWELL-ON-SEA, England, June 29 (UPI) -- An Englishman who lost his house in Essex -- and his cats -- to a vengeful tenant, was relieved when one of his cats was found scared but unhurt in the wreckage.
James Harvard found his five other cats and a dog but not Ashley, a 7-year-old pedigree Korat, The Mirror reported.
"We've lost thousands of pounds of valuables in the house but none of that matters now that we know Ashley is fine," Harvard said.
The house Harvard shared with his pets and his partner Janice Gledhill was destroyed by a man wielding a backhoe. The man was angry because the couple demanded the rent he owed on a lot he rented for his mobile home.
Robert Taylor faces a long list of criminal charges for the attack. Gledhill had run for it as the bucket of the backhoe crashed down on the walls and roof.
Harvard believes the Korat fled the house in terror and then returned once the situation was calm, seeking the comfort of her old sleeping place. A police officer found her under floorboards.
