A pet owner was left delighted when her cat in Cornwall 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 Wetherspoons menu, a coffee sachet and chicken from KFC.

And earlier this month mixed breed Monkey turned up at the home in Penzance with a winning scratchcard - worth a tenner.

"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 has brought home a random collection of items to date (Image: Megan Christian/SWNS) 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.

She said: “It’s called an emotional support pickle, which was quite funny."

Megan keeps all of Monkey’s finds in a little box and plans to cash in the scratchcard to buy something nice.
