A cat that jumped into the back of a delivery van and took a free ride to Coventry has a new home.
The mischievous moggy jumped into the van as it was making a delivery in Filkins near Carterton.

An hour and 52 miles later, the driver uncovered the stowaway and dropped him off at the Godiva Veterinary Practice in the midlands city.
While Coventry is renowned for its medieval cathedral which was rebuilt after a Second World War bombing, it's not ideal for stray cats from Oxfordshire.
The city is more than 50 miles from Carterton.
As it had no microchip, the vet had no way of tracing the owner but put out an appeal for information on Facebook.
Cats Protection Oxfordshire also tried to trace the owner.
Finally a resident who recognised the cat got in touch.
Practice manager Ellen Gill said: "Because there was no chip we could not tell who the owner was but the charity did a big massive thing and someone down there knew it.
"They said it was a stray and they had been feeding it and it was hanging around by some garages."
She confirmed the cat has gone to a new home.
"He's been neutered and gone to a new owner. So it's a happy ending," she said.
