A cat that went missing from its New Jersey home more than four years ago was finally reunited with her owner after winding up at a Pennsylvan­ia animal shelter.

The kitty, named Nova, slipped out of its apartment in 2016, said the Animal Friends shelter in Pittsburgh.

Thanks to Nova’s microchip, the cat was brought back to her rightful owner.

Speaking of kitties, firefighte­rs in Wales used a hydraulic platform to rescue a cat that was stranded on the roof of a three-story building.

RSPCA Cymru Inspector Gemma Black said animal welfare called in the smokeeater­s to come to the aid of the cat, named Meuzza, after it got stuck atop the building in the capital city of Cardiff.

Firefighte­rs used the heavy machinery to get to the cat, which they brought to safety.

A Brazilian daredevil has broken a Guinness World Record for longest “tyrolean traverse” over a lava lake.

Karina Olian achieved the death-defying feat by hoisting herself across a rope over volcanic lava lake Erta Ale in Afar, Ethiopia, Guinness said.

Oliani traveled a distance of 329 feet. “I feel most alive in situations of danger and when you feel the power of nature,” Oliani told Guinness.

A Tennessee lawn-care company is offering to pay $1,000 — just to play cornhole.

“Do you need more reasons to get outside? Looking for ways to have fun while socially distancing? Want something to do that’s good for all ages? If you are, then we have the job for you,” TruGreen posted on its Web site.

Applicants will be asked to take notes describing their experience.

An Egyptian swimmer has smashed a Guinness World Record for the highest jump out of water wearing a “monofin.”

Omar Sayed Shaaban managed to jump a whopping 7 feet and 11.8 inches using the merman-like attachment. Shaaban told Guinness that one of his dreams is to become the fastest swim sprinter in the world.
