A CAT thought to be missing has actually just been pissing it up with his mates for the last four days.

Tabby Martin Bishop was last seen in his owners’ garden before disappearing over the back wall for a mental drinking session starting at the local cat pub.

Bishop said: “It was Saturday night so I fancied a few bevvies with my mates. Unfortunately we went back to Jeff’s and he got the whisky out and that’s where it all went a bit Pete Tong.

“I came to in the early hours of Monday in a part of town I didn’t recognise the smell of, although my nose may have been fucked because I remember doing loads of lines of catnip.

“Me and Gav decided to give it a couple of hours until the cat Wetherspoons opened. I thought a few bowls of milk would sort me out but we got onto the cheap lager then suddenly it’s Wednesday morning.”

Bishop’s owner Nikki Hollis said: “We were so worried. We thought he’d been run over or a fox had got him, but now it turns out he’s got a binge-drinking problem.”

Bishop retorted: “They had my bollocks cut off and they wonder why I drink.”
