GABRIEL the missing moggie has reappeared -- just in time to keep his starving brother and sister alive.

His worried siblings Romeo and Maggie stopped eating when he vanished a week ago and a vet said they could die unless he came home.

But then Romeo led their 23-year-old owner Phil Clavering to an empty house a few doors away and found the runaway ginger tom trapped inside.

"I pushed open a window and Gabriel jumped into my arms," said Mr Clavering.
