MOLLY the moggy has probably used up at least one of her nine lives during a remarkable four-month trek to her home in New Zealand.

The defied the odds to walk 150km to get back to her owner - Mary-Lee Hight - after disappearing while on a family holiday to the beach at Pauanui in New Zealand’s North Island last October.

In an astonishing feat of navigation, Molly crossed a river and somehow found her way back to the home in the city of Hamilton where she had lived in for only three weeks.

A stunned Ms Hight was reunited with Molly on Sunday, when she saw her on top of the family’s garage roof.

Although a little skinnier, eight-year-old Molly was none the worse for her four-month adventure.

“She has always been a good hunter so I knew she would be able to catch birds and mice and that sort of thing,” Ms Hight said.

“Her coat is very shiny and in good condition. Her eyes are very bright and she’s got no marks on her at all,” she said.
