Yes I am , the dangerous bit is eating the cooking !

Extra defender security?

That looks more like a pair of extra cat-a -lick- it converters to me

Oh wailings, sack cloth & ashes at this post code.

This morning at 07.30 hrs Jasper had a decent scoff , sat at the door yowling to go out , Alison opened the door to let the dog go to his toilet , cat walked out with him ....along the bungalows wall to the same area , turned right at the end of the wall and we haven't seen him since .
He 's not one to miss his food or not nestle up in the armchair I normally sit in .
Al's just called him for the last time as it's nice and quiet ..she had good musical hearing but there is no answer to her whistles .

Will have a quick peek up & down the hill road that passes our bungalow just in case he been killed by a car etc . & left on the road .

 

[roblane65]

Hope he turns up for you !

 

[DAPPH]

Dead or alive , just so we know .

Feel for you been known to be walking up the road and cross the field shaking the biscuit tin, at 0200 gmt.
Hope it is just felt you were taking it for granted and thought a bit of stress will do them good

 

[RichardM]

Got any neighbours whose he may have been exploring?

 

[Bobupndown]

Not unusual for them to disappear for a day or two before turning up and wondering what the fuss is about.

He'll have found another billet for a day or two

That's what I've said to Alison ....Monday should see him reappear if he's gone into a building being worked on . She went round several of the neighbours ... every one said he's a lovely cat , we saw him Thursday after noon about 16.00 hrs .
Thing is he walked down the garden with the dog as the dog went to be clean in the dog loo area at about 1200 on Friday

12.15 hrs Al went outside rattled the cats food bowl with the fork , " Ding a ding , ding, ding ., ding .........nothing .. he should have been looking forward his lunch , he didn't come to our whistling him or calling his name .

I took that interminably long drive to the vets today with my little black cat, she didn't come home with me, I am not really a cat person but she took a bit of a liking to me, I feel as if I have betrayed her somehow but she hadn't eaten in nearly a week and was coughing up blood.

I know, doesn't make it easier.

That's the same as Tarmac my most loving cat of all time I felt the same
She is my avitarher son

Sorry, my eyes are leaking.

It's the hardest thing to do as a pet owner with a little animal that's shared your life for years.

We had this with three of ours over the years. Sadly we lived on a. Fairly busy road and it was the downfall of each one of them

Hopefully the cat turns up safely @DAPPH

@northwest please don’t start writing novels I’d cry myself to sleep every night reading things like that

We've not seen hide nor hair of Jasper since 11.00 Friday . We did th normal neighbours round asking them to look in their sheds .
Sadly cats don't seem top last long here ..not the road but acute kidney & liver failures .. seems someone does not like cats crapping on their lawn or mud patch garden.

Swallowing a lump in my throat , I've collected all Jasper related stuff together , save for the feed bowls, the cat litter tray ( A big deep baby bath ) and half a dozen pouches of long life chicken based cat food which has a use by date of 30/ 10 / 2024. & are passing it all on along with 36 cans of cat food to our daughter who has two cats .

If there is a next cat it will be an 8 week old spayed kitten that is not from close feral stock ... I had several such female cats in my life of 71 years and they were brilliant the toms I've owned were also neutered but still tended to stray for a few weeks come mating seasons .

Thanks for all your interest and kind words guys & gals .. it helps a lot sometimes.
