A pet owner was left delighted when her cat brought home a winning scratchcard - bagging her £10. Megan Christian, 33, says one-year-old Monkey often arrives with unusual items.

She's previously dragged home a Wetherspoon menu, a coffee sachet and chicken from KFC. Earlier this month mixed breed Monkey turned up at the home in Penzance, Cornwall, with a winning scratchcard worth a tenner.

Megan, a carer, said: “When she brought home the scratchcard I couldn't believe it - I was like, 'really, a winning scratchcard?' It really intrigued me. I have no idea where she gets these things from. But every time she’s back I’m like, ‘Oh wow, what has she got now?’”

Monkey's treasure hunts began six months ago, with the first item being wall plugs, followed by a child's dummy. The cat also brought home a stuffed pickle recently, which Megan found amusing.

I think Americans call it a pacifier? The thing a baby sucks on.
