Another in the EDF's fine tradition of missing cat posts:


Our kitten's escaped. She's never been out before. She's had her jabs and is just about old enough, but hasn't been neutered yet. I'm not overly worried yet, as it's not been all that long and she'll probably come back when she gets hungry. But given that she's so young, I thought I'd just ask people to keep an eye out for her.


She's called Mog, but seems to respond best when she's called Mogmog. (Cats eh? Always have to do things their own way.) We're at the library end of Landells Road and she went off through the gardens to towards Crystal Palace Road. She has a red collar with a small bell and a small brass tag on it. The tag has our phone number on one side and says 'microchipped' on the other (cos she is). If anyone does find her, could they please call us?


She's a little bit bigger now than she was when I took this pic:

 

Oh no! ::o I remember when you first got your kitten and posted that pic up and we were saying how cute she was. I'm sure she is on an adventure and is having a great time sticking her snout into everything new.


I've just had a look in our garden and also peered into the neighbours' gardens from our upstairs window. Can't see anything and none of the other cats are out either, so all is quiet. I will definitely keep an eye out.

Thanks Se?or Piers and Ko. She'll probably be fine. I wouldn't be worried except she's so young, and it's her first time out and all.


(Am having a nasty, sneaking feeling that I may well be saying the exact same thing about my daughters in a few years' time!)

I hope she's already home but if not she's probably just hiding and watching everything. In my experience when cats first go outside they tend to stick to the outside perimiter and work their way inwards, so maybe try looking along the nearby fences. You will probably have to call her in a really silly high pitched voice too before she responds, I am convinced that cats have an evil sense of humour and relish the chance to get you caught out singsonging in the middle of the street.

My 5 month old cat went missing for ages today and I ended up in most of the gardens in our road. She turned up in the end absolutely fine and full of fun.

Good luck and a speedy return for mogmog

chuff

Hope you find your kitten. You can train her to come to a whistle if you don't want to yell out Mogmog. Everytime you put her food down, give a shrill whistle. It won't take long for her to associate it with food and each time you whistle she will come flying in if she's within earshot.


I discovered this the hard way when I had cats called Ringo and George. I was yelling for George one evening when my very elderly neighbour (also called George) was using his outdoor privy and yelled back. Exceedingly embarrassing!


good luck

Glad she?s back Ant. They do that sometimes. My cat once disappeared for about 3 weeks. We had just about given up when one day I walked in and she was lying on the sofa looking perfectly healthy. Not even so much as a by your leave.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
