A cat missing for seven months in Cornwall has been spotted - by a US woman watching a webcam.

Abbi Rendell, 30, lost her tabby Jerry in October after moving to the village of Polperro, reports The Sun.

She stuck posters around the area and appealed on local website www.polperro.org .

Eventually Abbi lost hope - until Deb Wilgus, from Indiana, emailed her last month.

Deb watches a webcam of the village and spotted Jerry several times sleeping on a hotel doormat.

Abbi said: "I couldn't believe it."

She now stakes out the hotel each night hoping to find him.
