Thanks hp but doesn't look quite the same. I will upload a pic as soon as I've figured out how.

My black cat is missing. He's not small in size or belly! Pictures are on the post before this one in the lost and found group. I live on Peckham Rye by Friern Road so not a million miles away...

George / Michelle,

Apologies for the delay in responding to you both on this post. I'm afraid to say the cat we found wasn't Panther or Bonnie. We did check all lost cat photos and descriptions on the forum just in case. We took the cat to the vet to see is he was micro chipped - he wasn't. They also confirmed that he was an unneutered male - we didn't need the expertise of the vet for that though!

For anyone interested in what happened to this little scamp; he had been visiting us for about 2-3 weeks, coming back with our black cat at food o clock every evening. We were feeding him as the little scamp was crying for food (and hoovering down at a rate of knots) - we later found out that we weren't the only cat owners on the street feeding him either! He was also sleeping in our porch at night. Anyway, he was clearly a stray, wasn't neutered and wasn't chipped and whilst our cat seemed to tolerate him in the beginning, they quickly fell out and so we needed to do something about it - we couldn't keep him.

As nobody claimed him during this time, we took him to Battersea Cats Home (where we got our cat from). They gladly took him in, cleaned him up and he was off to a new loving home within a week.

Good news. Well done.
