His owners Matteo Vettosi and Chiara Centanni have said this is the first time Jack has escaped despite their garden being fully covered with a net.

The pair have put up posters in the town and are offering up to £500 to anyone who finds him.

Mr Vettosi said: “He is an indoor cat but managed to escape during the night.
