I spoke to a lady about a week ago who had lost her cat. She had only had the cat about a week,a rescue cat that was timid & had somehow sneaked outside.
(not to be confused with the pedigree silver cat that my friend adopted & same thing happened, she's not been seen since)
Anyway the lady had done all the usual stuff so I said to put some food out at night & see if it goes, if it does it may be a greedy local cat, but it may be your cat. She phoned me the next day to say the food had gone. I said carry on putting food out each night & I will get a trap to you as soon as I have one free (we only have 2 in the branch), anyway she phoned me this morning to say the food goes every night & they are hopeful it's her taking it. She's just phoned me now (10.45pm
) to say that she's just seen her cat,so it's def her taking the food. I will try & get a trap to her soon to try & catch her & get her back inside whilst she settles in to her new home.
good eh?
