Monkey brings home winning scratch card

Cats are considered lucky in some cultures – but this takes it to a whole new level.

Monkey the cat has a habit of bringing weird items home, such as a Wetherspoons menu, a coffee sachet, and even KFC chicken.

But owner Megan Christian couldn’t believe her luck with the one-year-old’s latest find – a winning scratch card.

It meant Megan pocketed £10 thanks to her feline’s collecting habit.

‘When she brought home the scratch card I couldn’t believe it – I was like, ‘really, a winning scratch card?, Megan said.

‘It really intrigued me. I have no idea where she gets these things from.

‘But every time she’s back I’m like, ‘Oh wow, what has she got now?”

Footage of the mixed-breed from Pezance, Cornwall, shows the cat climbing up on the roof of her home, when Megan asks: ‘Monkey, where have you been and what have you got?’

Monkey’s affinity for collecting started with wall plugs six months ago before she brought home a child’s dummy and a stuffed pickle, which Megan calls their ’emotional support pickle’.

Monkey isn’t the only animal that has come home with a surprise lately.

Nicci Knight, from Yorkshire, was on holiday when her neighbours told her her beloved cat Ted had drowned in their pond.

But after arranging for a funeral and cremation to take place while still on holiday, Ted wandered back into the family home.

The cat sitter had to FaceTime Nicki so she ‘could see that Ted was actually alive.’
