    Oh no sazzy, I hope he's alright. Fingers crossed he's just lying low, do you think he'd be able to find his way home?

    Jimmy started off in a box under the bed, then went under the blanket box, then finally into the cupboard at the end our bed - he is petrified.

    Geri is not bothered at all, I think I am more scared of them than she is.

    Usually, I would say yes PO..but 6 years ago he did this and was brought home from 8 miles away. When he hears them he just keeps on running, he doesn't hide.

    He doesn't have his collar and tags on, and that's what's killing me. I'm so sorry to bother everyone with this, as it was my own stupid fault, I should have left him in while I took Bruce out, I just didn't want him beinf scared alone in the house.

    Thanks everyone for your support though, and sorry to hijack your thread OP

    I hope he hasn't gone far, sazzybum!

    My cats have been fine this evening, even though it's sounded like a war zone out there...

    Cat #1 isn't normally bothered by loud noises, she's just been wandering around as usual squawking for more dinner.

    Cat #2, who is normally the most skittish, jumpiest thing you could ever imagine, who hates the vacuum cleaner with a passion and will even skirt around it when it's off, has been asleep next to me on the sofa all evening, without even a flicker when the big ones go off! I hope he stays like this though, as we also get fireworks pretty much non-stop between now and new year's eve around here...

    Go figure!

    River: I'm asleep on the stairs :c

    (he's such and uncaring fluffbutt)

    Loki: I CAN CATCH THEM OUT THE WINDOW RIGHT MOM?! RIGHT?! RIGHT?! OMG LOOK ANOTHER ONE! WHY IS THIS FORCEFIELD UPPPPP

    Lucian: Staring at Loki like he's brain damaged

    Scar & Malachi sleeping on the stairs

    as for the dogs, they just need a bit more cuddling than usual and bark everytime they go outside to use the bathroom and the foster cats could not care less they just looked at me like I was stupid for not bringing wet food with me.

    I think that given household noises, bells, phones, vacuums, washing machines etc most animals are used to loud noises by the time November comes around.

    I'm still giggling at Griffy... none of mine seem that bothered.
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.

    No probs, Sazzy, I hope he's found safe and well soon.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Sazzy, it might be worth ringing round some local vets, police stations and the dog warden in case somebody brings him in, give them a description and let them know he's microchipped (if he is) so they can get in touch if he appears.
