Lost Cat Found: Audrey came home - thanks all!

[bignumber5]

Has anyone seen out cat, Audrey?

She goes out everyday, but normally doesn't go far from home and never misses a meal. We haven't seen her since the morning of 11/7/7 and we're getting worried. She tends to stick to the Crystal Palace Road / Landells Road / Goodrich Road area. She's half Siamese, so very small and slight, but jet black all over with green eyes (picture below). She wears a red collar with her name and our phone number on. She's very curious and playful and sometimes finds her way into other peoples' houses.

Please look out for her and ring us if you see her.

Thanks

PS: I know Anna has put this thread up somewhere else but the more people who see it, the better. Hope that isn't breaking EDF rules.

There was a cat lurking at the top of CPR the other day, near the caff, corner of LL. It looked like the photo but I'm sure didn't have a collar. Just before you get to the caff there is a "track" on the left leading down to the back of the houses, it was meandering down there...

Hope that helps...

best of luck

I'm fairly sure I've seen Audrey before, as I live round your way. Not seen her recently but I'll definitely keep an eye out. Best of luck finding her.

Thanks guys - if you have sheds or anything, please have a look. If she turns up then please call the number on her collar or PM me.

Cheers all

possibly seen today on the fence in our back garden on Landells Road. we'll keep our eyes open and let you know if she turns up.

[annaj]

Thanks Everyone.

Jim, what time was it that you think you saw her? If it was recent we'll go out and have a look round.

Of course it could have been our other cat Clark, he looks just the same, but bigger with a blue collar.

hey guys (I use to work with both of you!!) I saw an Audrey like cat outside mine on Friern road an hr ago (but again without a collar - and have seen the same cat here before though), just looked outside and couldn't see it (did make daft noises to try and attract it too!) will keep my eyes peeled xx

[jim_the_chin]

it was around lunchtime yesterday i think, my partner reported seeing an unknown black cat but didn't see if it had a collar. sorry for lack of info.

[bignumber5]

Cheers Jim - unfortunately, there are quite a few black cats around this neck of the woods (we've got one more and our neighbours have 2 big black furry cats!) but Audrey is easily spotted by the fact that she is absolutely tiny, almost kitten sized. Thanks for keeping eyes peeled everyone. been a couple of days now so starting to get worrying...

[bignumber5]

Just to say thanks to everyone who kept their eyes open for our moggy - just when we'd started to accept the worst, she strolled in through the cat flap looking very pleased with herself and her 3 days of adventuring in ED... but then, of course, she is a fairly recent "incomer" so needs to explore ;-)

Again, many thanks (tu)

At home with her brother. No more silly cat pics, I promise.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

They look just gorgeous... Audrey's brother looks very happy to have her back.

I'm glad she's safe and well. I hope all the ED 'old-timer' cats were nice to her!

[buggie]

v glad to hear shes save and well xx

LONG LIVE AUDREY :))

Excellent! I would die if my lottie or bear went missing!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Great news. A question, how did Audrey get her name?

"Audrey" (fine name though it is) doesnt immediatly spring to mind as a cat name.

Just curious.

I note the Animal Rights website - given ED prediliction for good meat at William Rose and good fish at Moxton's and great cheese at the Cheese Block you may be on the wrong track.

Animals can have no rights - with rights come responsbilities and I have yet to meet an animal that is able to understand or debate this concept. I'm kind to animals but would not keep a pet as it's not right, in my mind, to coop up dogs / cats in London (tho' I harbour murderous thoughts about the cat that uses my garden as a latrine. However, I'm not willing to forego a nice lamb shank, slow cooked belly of pork or aged steak cooked rare.

Hi Michael,

She's named after Audrey Hepburn - small pointy face, jet black hair, big eyes.

Her brother is Clark (Gable) because he's kind of a smoothy.

Hope that answers your question.

I can't speak for dogs, as I don't have one but as for keeping cats cooped up my cat is free to go wherever she likes and its her choice to stay in her own garden, she is a very happy cat - even though she lives in London (It's difficult to kep cats cooped up anyway - they will do their own thing!). And she fulfils her responsibilities, (despite, like many humans, not being able to debate the concept,) as a pet very well - she is cute, furry, funny and friendly - what more could be asked!

[EDDW]

Does she pay taxes and clean up after herself when using others's gardens?

[bignumber5]

MM - We got Audrey & Clark from a shelter where they'd been handed in by previous owners who got divorced. They were living in a box a foot or 2 in each direction. During the hours of daylight they are now free to go wherever they want, which doesn't usually involve leaving a one-block-radius, and normally spend most of the days when I'm off sitting on the window ledge of my study. We are a bit possessive about keeping them in at night because the foxes round here are massive and bold as brass and our cats are tiny but think they're invincible - a recipe for their messy death (cats, not foxes...)

I am also verging on being a puritan carnivore. I think these 2 lifestyle choices are ok to combine.

We do realise that having pets is a fundementally selfish act because it's about how nice it is for the owner to have the pet, but ours don't appear to be too tortured.

Anyway, this thread was first a missing report, then a thank you. Sorry it's caused a stir.

Not a stir - I just like to tease vegans! Probaly counts as a blood sport.

[bignumber5]

Not Fair - you know they're weakened from inadequate protein intake ;-)

No she doesn't earn enough to pay taxes and is too precious to put her bottom in anyone else's garden - insists on her own litter tray - more's the pity
