Down to five?

We haven't seen Smokey since last Thursday evening. Some cat food we put out last night was apparently untouched at 5 o'clock this morning (yes, the cat flap was switched to "in only").

I do hope he's okay. It may be that he's been chased away by an unfamiliar dog and will return when he gets his bearings.

For what it's worth, when I was in my teens we were missing our ginger cat, Pepper, for nearly six weeks, until he leaped out of the hedge a mile from home when he saw his beloved friend, our GSD/Collie cross, Sandy.

Good luck and keep us informed.

I'm sure you know the ropes, but in case you've forgotten...

Find out if your neighbours have not opened any sheds/garages/greenhouses in the past week. Get them to have a look. Also vans and cars.

Are any of your neighbours on holiday?

Check with all the local vets and the local rescue centres.

The next step after that, if it becomes necessary, is to leaflet your local area - oh, and junior and infant schools. Kids that young will notice stray cats and dogs.

Sympathy. It's an awful feeling, waiting for them to come home. But around 70% do, according to Cats' Protection. Plus spring is springing -- prime cat wandering season. I will cross my fingers for you.

Eeek!

Fingers crossed here ...

That's a long absence! I suspect somebody's been feeding him. That, or he's been putting a huge dent in the local rodent population.
