So so happy for you that both Sooty and Sweep are back home safely.

Could I suggest that you think about having Sooty neutered and Sweep too if he is still intact. They do tend to wander less and of course, it puts paid to them fathering unwanted kittens.

Ian, I am truly delighted that they are both back home. I must be a major worry of your mind.

Can I be that nag and suggest that neutering is the best option for keeping your cats close to home and safe? I did it with an old black stray boy I adopted who was a spraying, roaming stray and he never ventured far from home again.

Re: sooty and sweep are home again safe and sound


That's wonderful news Ian, I wonder if Sweep went out to find Sooty .........whatever....they are back home where they belong!!

I agree too, Ian, that if they are both outdoor cats maybe you should seriously consider getting them neutered ........ goodness knows what mischief they have been up to in the days they've been missing.......you may think it's ok for the boys but unfortunately it may result in very many unwanted kittens.
You will also have two lovely boys who will not roam and go missing, causing you worry..

Fantastic news they are both home again!!

I can only echo everyone else - please think about having them neutered, it's not a big deal for them and they will be better for it.

Re: sooty and sweep are home again safe and sound


Glad they are home, if they aren't neutered it would be a good idea, not only will it stop wandering, but it will reduce the chance of them catching FIV.
I lost a cat to this recently (he was a rescue and castrated late) and he died last week because of FIV. The vets said its a tom cat disease because it is spread by cat bites, and that its something tom cats are more likely to do than a neutered cat. They can carry it for years, spreading it to other cats and it can then develop into all kinds of problems as it weakens the immune system.
