The wanderer returns!



Nothing to do with cards but just had to say that I'm over the moon.

One of my two rescue cats went missing five weeks ago today. She wasn't used to being outdoors, so of course we feared the worst! We put up posters in our road and flyers in most of closest neighbours, but nothing.

Until this Monday - when we had a phone call asking if our cat was still missing. The boys went round, and there she was, a lot thinner but in pretty good shape. They tried to catch her, but she ran off again. So I though 'here we go again'. But we got some more flyers printed and delivered them this afternoon. Within an hour we got a call from someone saying that she'd been in and out of their garden all week. We went round, and there she was! At first I didn't think it was her, but it was.

We waited for about 20 mins but she wouldn't come to us. So we left some food and her box at the house and they promised to call if they managed to get her in the box. Finally at about 8:30 they called! Eureka! So we went to bring her home.

We have since taken calls from two other houses in the same row and it seems as if she's been going from house to house all week looking for food.

Can't think where she had been for the last four weeks, but so glad to get her home again.

We just want to say a huge THANK YOU! to all those who called to let us know they'd seen her!

Aww, the same thing happened to my little Piglet earlier in the year. She was only gone for 9 days but it was horrible in the house without her about. I'm so glad you had a happy ending with your furry one. I bet she's getting lots of love and fuss now! xx

Good to see you've got her back Mel, I don't know what I'd do if I lost one of mine

She's doing fine considering. We're just giving her lots of space at the minute, until she gets used to being back with us!
