RARE PHOTOS: Cat missing for seven days after fatal house explosion found alive - The Real Truth

A cat which went missing for seven days after a fatal house explosion in Swansea has been found. Teddy, who is owned by the Bennett family, had been missing since the blast in Clydach Road in Morriston on March 13.

Claire Bennett and her son Ethan were rescued from the wreckage of their house together with their puppy and cat Fern. But Teddy, who had been sitting next to Mrs Bennett at the time of the explosion, could not be found leading to concern that he may not have survived the blast. The explosion claimed the life of Brian Davies, 68, while Claire and son Ethan had a remarkable escape.

South Wales Police officers, Swansea Cats Protection, and Llys Nini RSPCA representatives worked tirelessly to try and find the Bennetts' lost pet and on Sunday they were able to pick him up. He was in a dusty condition but unharmed.
