The Russian blue’s overjoyed owners believe he narrowly survived by eating spiders and bugs and licking condensation from pipes.
Arthur lost half his bodyweight while trapped in the English home, and he was only discovered when the neighbors heard distressed mewing and pulled up the floorboards.
For over a month, his owner Jo Rymill knocked on doors, stuck flyers to lamp posts, and posted on social media—never expecting she would find her missing pet just three doors down.
After five weeks of searching, the owner of an AirBnb who had recently renovated the home, posted a message on the neighborhood chat saying the tenants in her property heard a mewing beneath the floor.
Within 12 minutes nearby residents in Ramsgate, Kent, descended on the property and ripped up the floorboards to rescue frail and dehydrated Arthur.
Ms. Rymill was in line for popcorn at the cinema with her husband when the news came through.
“We jumped in the car and raced home,” she recalled. “They started sending pictures and on the way home I was saying ‘[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]! It’s him! It’s him!’
