I've just spent a sleepless night as our male brown Tabby didn't come home last night. We last saw him yesterday morning and he is wearing a red colour with a silver disc with my phone number on it. Please could everyone check garages and sheds in case he's been locked in?


He's only 4 years old and we miss him.


Many thanks,

Jen

Hi,


We are just about at the junction of Underhill Road. No photos on me as at work now. He's a dark brown tabby with long white whiskers. His underside is more caramel in colour. His collar is red with golden stars on it, and a silver disc with my number which is 07951 102 241. I'm really hoping he's ok and be there when I get home, just concerned if he's been locked in anywhere or even lying low in someones garden as there is another tabby nearby and they are not friends. If he's not home when I get back I'll put a photo up.


Thank you,

Jen

Hi Jen,


I'm near the intersection with Underhill as well, so will keep an eye out - chances are you'll find him curled up all warm and snug when you get home this evening. Does he generally go out the road side of Upland, or out the back into the gardens?


I hope the other tabby you refer to isn't mine?! He's a grey fluffy tabby... roams all over the place, we're yet to discover where he actually spends his days and I hope he's not terrorising your cat! He's only a year old.


Anyway, I'll be out for a walk later and will definitely look out for him. Good luck.

Hi there,


My boyfriend is home now but no sign of him, though we don't know if he might have been in and then gone out again.


Don't think it's your cat honey, the other is another brown tabby and he's apparently about at the moment so mine may well be in hiding, but am worried as it's so cold and miserable at the moment. I've never seen him out the front before and believe he sticks to the gardens so backing onto Friern Road. I want to be positive but am so worried about him.


Would really appreciate if you do keep your eyes open for him.


Thank you

Jen

Hi Jen,


When our cat went missing, it turned out he'd snuck into a nearby house that was empty through the cat-flap and couldn't get out again. There's a very good chance this is what happened to your cat. Might be worth asking whichever estate agents operate in your area if they would mind keeping an eye out for him in any vacant properties they do viewings at.


Also worth letting the local vets have the details. Has your cat been chipped?

Not being a cat owner, I find it interesting that what I see as a reasonably large number of cats go missing. What is it with them? Do they get sick of their owner, literraly get lost and can't find their way back home, or what? I'm forever seeing posters around ED featuring lost cats. Nero

Thanks Carter, Have just phoned the vet, thanks for the reminder didn't enter my head and is so obvious. Will let the agents know too.


Nero, He is a much loved cat and perfectly happy but as I mentioned he has been having stand offs with another Tabby so he may either be avoiding further confrontation or hurt. The other possiblity of being trapped somewhere is also on my mind.


Any sightings or advice most grateful,

Jen

Hi Jen,


Just thinking about a couple of the places I contacted when my cat went MIA.


I would check with Battersea to see if they've had any recent arrivals (same cat ended up there once, too!). Also there's the Missing Pets Bureau (www.missingpetsbureau.com), where you can post details and a pic of your cat. There's a few others too (http://www.nationalpetregister.org; http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/lost_cat_page.htm).


One other thing you might want to try is to give a picture of your cat to the local dustmen and milkmen. As they're around at the crack of dawn, they may come across him. I was surprised how friendly and keen to help these guys were.


There's a very reassuring website I just came across which hopefully will help and put your mind at rest -

Do please let us know when you find him.

Thank you all so much, after spending the evening worrying and putting together a poster and registering on various websites for lost pets, he walked through the cat flap 5 minutes ago!! He has just hoovered up 3 sachets of cat food and a large quantity of biscuits.


Thanks so much for the kind words and helpful advice, they have been the only things getting me through the day.


Hugs,

Jen xx

Well I had a good nights sleep last night I can tell you! However it was odd that when he came in he wasn't cold or wet given the weather. He didn't smell the same as normal either, wonder if he did get stuck somewhere or was hiding out from 'El Gringo' which is how we refer to the other tabby on the block. Either way we are glad he's home, though anxious he doesn't do that again in a hurry.


Thanks again for all the advice and detective work!

Sounds good to me, go out for a jolly up with your mates, roll in when you like, and get treated like a king.


And you wonder why they go missing...


Seriously, glad he turned up safe and well.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
