The RSPCA is searching for the owner of a classy cat found abandoned and tied to a lamppost in North Yorkshire.

Harry the tabby was found wearing a diamante-studded velvet collar and silver harness with his name on it.

The five-month-old moggy was abandoned beside the A1041 at Camblesforth, near Selby.

An RSPCA spokesman said: "He is really well cared for and obviously has had some money spent on him when you see his collar and harness."

Harry is now in the foster care of Barbara Dover, of nearby Hensall, who takes in strays and unwanted pets.

She said: "It's all very strange, a real mystery. He's a lovely little fellow."
