    That's excellent news I'm so pleased for you!

    I would keep her in for as long as possible so she gets to know you agaian and feels comfortable in her new home, CP recommend at least 3 weeks if you're moving home so I'd say longer than that considering she's newly found too.

    A Feliway plug in might help calm things if she is wary of the other cat and dog, you can get them from the vets but they are much cheaper online from places like https://www.vetuk.co.uk

    fab news... I always get a twinge of fear when my little girl runs thru garden after garden and disappears off into the sunset! You must be so relieved and I'm really pleased to her she is back... GJ x

    She's Home!!

    Put the trap down yesterday and came back a few hours later and there she was!!

    Shes very nervous and hasnt really come out of the bathroom since yesterday but seems very relaxed around us just we have another cat and dog (which were there just before she disappeared) which she is quite wary of at the minute.

    A year later and shes home, we cant believe it, she is just as lovely and affectionate as she was before, we are sooo happy words cant describe!

    I just hope she settles in here :)


    Brilliant news, :T :T :T .

    I would be lost without my cat, he is almost 3 in our age/years, but so affectionate and love him to bits......

    So happy for you hunni, well done.:T :T

  • Thanks to everyone that posted :)

    We are so happy to have her home, it just seems unreal that shes back.

    She still hasnt come out of the bathroom but is very loving so think it will just be a matter of time.

    The lady from the CP said to keep her in for at least 3 weeks but we are going to try for longer than that as we dont want to run the risk of her getting lost now she found her way back to us!

    We are going to look into getting a feliaway plug (thanks spooky) as we used one before when we brought another cat in and it seemed to work brillantly so we will definately be investing in one of those.

    I really hope it gives other people hope that have lost a pet, its so heartbreaking when they leave.

    Might be worth Microchipping too if she's not been done! Glad you got her back that's great!

    Yeeehaaaaa!! I am so happy for you, that is fabulous news! Well done for taking time to consider the best way to catch her and for getting it right first time. She's a very lucky girl to have you.
