Anyone lost a black cat?

[spencertracy]

Black cat on New Cross road last night - lost according to Fish and Chip shop owner as he'd seen it around all day (near The Actress). Looks quite young with bright coloured collar.

Do you mean Northcross road?

[spencertracy]

Sorry, yes I mean North Cross Road.

[Sue]

Does that cat not belong to The Actress?

It was in and out of the Actress yesterday lunchtime.

[Sue]

Was there any particular reason why it was thought to be lost?

It looks quite healthy and didn't appear to be in any distress.

Everyone around here except Sue has lost a cat at least once.

I haven't, for one!

[spencertracy]

A member of staff at the Actress claimed to have just fed it once or twice when questioned last night. And the reason I think its lost is that it appeared to be in some distress. I say this as a cat owner. Also local business people had noticed it during the day prowling the streets.

Get it checked for a micro chip.

Is it completely black?

[Sue]

I have seen the cat a few times around North Cross Road, and apart from coming up for a stroke which many cats do, it didn't appear to be in distress to me spencertracy.

And I say this as someone who has at different times taken in two "stray" cats which turned out not to be strays at all :-$

Including one which I was assured by a builder its owner had moved without it.

What made you think it was in distress?

He looked depressed and was just about to jump but realised he'd land on all fours anyway..http://www.funbull.com/Funny-Pictures/Funny-Pictures/The-Sad-Cat-2055.jpg

Can someone please take it to a vet to check for a microchip? I will if I can find it!

xxxxxxx

It's not clear to me that it is actually a stray.

What actual evidence is there for this?

[muffins78]

Is the cat youngish? Or small? With a red collar? I've seen this cat around where I live and he/she is really friendly - I thought she may belong to my neighbours. We don't live where the cat was found though.

[Sue]

Yes, looks quite small and young, can't remember collar colour though.

Eh? We're talking about a black cat, not a ginger cat!
