There was a knock at the front door tonight. A Dad and his young daughter and son asking if we had seen their missing cat. So sad! Beautiful looking boy tortoiseshell called Frodo , not seen since Monday night. Fingers crossed he gets home safely.

My neighbour knocked on my door last week to say her cat had gone missing and had I seen it, she's the pretty Burmese that Harry had a spat with, I hadn't seen her for a week or so so assumed she was steering clear of my garden. I asked her yesterday if there had been any news and she told me she'd had a call from a vet who'd traced her via her chip and rang to say she'd been run over and killed! She was found a couple of miles away, too far for a little cat to have walked but unfortunately she was incredibly friendly and curious so I think she'd probably got into the back of a delivery van or something and jumped out at the next drop off point. Such a shame she was a lovely cat

That is horrible Diamond Diva. We have had lots of worker vans in our road this week that he might have jumped in , then there is the railway at the bottom of everyone’s gardens. He has been away for a day or two before they said so fingers crossed he is making the best of the September weather before coming home.
Oh that always makes my heart sink. Let’s hope pusscat returbs home soonest.
Awful DD. Makes me somewhat grateful that Harvey is, on the whole, really not good with strangers and he hates cars and vans. Better that they know though. Rather than waiting and hoping.

That's what I said Tinks at least she knows what happened to her even though it was bad news, many years ago one of mine just disappeared and despite putting up posters, leafleting the surrounding houses, calling vets and animal rescue places I never found out what happened to him and that's awful

Nothing worse than not knowing what happened to them. Boots is a candidate for getting into a van if the doors were open. He is so nosey and has no fear of workmen when they are here, in fact he can be a nuisance to them.
I lost my cat Osca years ago. She’d been gone for 6 weeks and I just though that’s it I’ve got to give up waiting and hoping but I thought I’d have one more go with posters and flyers. I paid the two daughters of my neighbours to help me shove leaflets through doors. Once I’d done it I felt ready to accept she wasn’t coming back. Next morning the cheeky madam came through the cat flat at about 6 in the morning and stood at the bottom of the stairs yelling to be fed!
I think she must have wandered in to someone’s house and they’d kept her as an indoor cat. She was well fed, perfectly healthy and still wearing her collar!

Fingers crossed indeed and hope their cat comes home soon. I used to panic if one of ours was out for a couple of hours, as they usually stayed close to home within whistling distance.
