It's Caturday- Post some cats (vol 3)
Discussion
Indeed it is, as she is officially known, 'Frida Kahlo Club Cat'. I think when I took her in she was probably only around three weeks old. She can be a little devil. Growls a lot, recently climbed a curtain on to a wardrobe, then tight rope walked the pole along to another wardrobe where she knocked a box of dry cat food down to the two boy cats and my Border Collie! Minx. She's still kitten size, approx a little under 20 weeks now I guess, huge personality. I forget how tiny she was though...

Bugger - one of ours has decided not to come home tonight. Never happened before. She's always home around dinner time for some food and lots of pampering on the sofa.
It's going to be cold as well. Hopefully she's just been shut in somewhere and can keep the frost off.
I've had a couple of wanders round our part of the village but it's pitch black, there's no response to normal sounds etc... I know that if a cat doesn't want to be found, it rarely is as they are ingenious little hiders.
Wife is super worried.
I'm hoping all will be happy and that the cat will learn a lesson...

my cat disappeared for 5 days once in very cold conditions. Spent 1 night stuck up a tree in a gale as well. I was worried about it when she disappeared. Sometimes something random can scare them off.
Put some food outside, try and call them at different hours in the day.
Hang their bedding outside so they can pick up the scent. Have a drive round, ask a few neighbours. litter tray as well, anything with there scent on it, or your as well as it allows them to refocus scent trail.
Don't loose faith, I nearly did, but the joy you get when the little face appears at the window is worth it.

Yeah - been an interesting evening to say the least - I'll say no more than calling the Rev. Mike and leaving a message on his answer phone at 11pm after going round the Church Yard with the missus getting freaked out by the birds fleeing their roosts, making the 'foody' noise while shaking a food bowl - we heard a very faint 'meow' from inside the church.
He called us back (I guess he uses the answer machine as a screening device) as he'd got out of bed to return the call - I legged it up to the Rectory, got the Church key, then spent the next hour trying to get the little git to come with us - she was totally freaked - managed to get her into her box in the end, and she had a good moan.
Anyway, home now as nothing had happened.
Positives - we've now met half the village properly and been invited to have many cups of tea.
Thanks all.
