    morning everyone

    I think someone has stollen my cat. I know that sounds a bit dramatic but my boy is pure white and a right handsome chap. For 4 years he's wandered around the green outside the house but never gone further than that and he's always in for food.

    The other week I had this woman knock on the door saying that she wanted to look at him because she though he was her cat that went missing a while ago. I said that he wasn't, our cat came from newcastle when he was a baby. She didn't seem happy with that answer, she got a bit stroppy and said 'well you would say that'.

    So, when I got back from weymouth last week I noticed her on the green outside the house looking at Floyd again. She saw me at the window and walked away. And now, for the last 3 days I haven't seen him :(

    I've no idea where this woman lives, I assume somewhere around here but short of knocking on every door I wouldn't know where to start. It all seems a bit coincidental for me though that he has suddenly gone missing for the first time in his life.

    Oh that is worrying Toto, I really hope he comes home soon. That woman sounds a right nut job:mad:

  • Toto - she does sound weird. If she has got him she'll be keeping him indoors all the time because he'll wander straight home again. Not sure what to suggest really other than ringing the local police for 'advice' (probably won't be interested though). Hope he comes back soon. Our Tom wanders off for days at a time to "pull" - is that possible with Floyd? x

    Luckily ours doesnt go as far as specifying knicker colour but I've still got a list of 20 items, just for DS. When you consider the list includes shoes, trainers and football boots, it's going to cost a bleedin fortune :eek:

    I know it sounds awful, but I dont want him to look like we've got no money, if you know what I mean :o

    Toto, fingers crossed Floyd comes home soon. Worrying about this odd woman though.

  • Horrendous cost - especially for 3 different pairs of shoes! Have you managed to get any of the clothes bits sorted? And, yes, I know what you mean!

    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Toto, put up missing posters? I bet the nut job woman has got your cat but perhaps it might help to alert other people - I mean she can't live that far away to have been walking around. flippling cow tho to steal your cat!

    Just a quick add in
