She added: “We lost hope of ever seeing him again but on Wednesday we got a call out the blue from the vets saying he'd been found. I asked what he looked like and whether he was OK and was looking very well looked after.”

He was finally caught last week, when staff saw a trap had been activated. They took him to a vet, who scanned his microchip, revealing he was registered to the Irons family.

Production supervisor Diane Gaskill said: “I’ve been trying to catch him for weeks when I found out we had a cat living in the warehouse. I saw him run past me a couple of times and we found droppings.”

“I set a cat trap last week night and I found him on Tuesday morning. He was hissing and spitting but he knew the game was up.”

Irons told the BBC she believed that Clive was taken in by another person.

“I can’t believe he’s so porky,” she said.
