Hillsborough pitch-invading cat reunited with owner after seven months

Topsey escaped from owner Alison Jubb in June

A cat which stopped play during Sheffield Wednesday's win against Wigan Athletic on Tuesday is said to have been missing for over seven months. 'Topsey' escaped from owner Alison Jubb in June during a trip to a cattery in Sheffield, Ms Jubb confirmed. However, the cat ran on to the pitch at Hillsborough during Sheffield Wednesday's game against promotion-chasing Wigan. The feline was eventually caught by one of the players and has since been taken to a vet to be examined, with Ms Jubb saying that she had her fingers crossed that Topsey would be alright and that she couldn't wait to see her again. "She went missing last June. We were going away and I was taking her to a cattery and she escaped out of the cat box and we never heard anything again," she told the BBC.
