Have been al round Eastbourne, Bury, UArd Matlock today , no joy. If you find him pease let us know, she isnt microchipped. Kids, and me, distraught.Thankyou

She has a white patch on her nose, she has a blue flea collar on, shes only about 6 months old. Meeeoooows a lot. Please let me know if you see her. Distraught. Its the first time ever she's been out.

I knew dreaming about cats wasn't a good sign. It never is.

She's part of the family, every morning when I make the kids' packed lunches she meows for a slice of ham, she wasnt there to do that this morning. Am so sad. Kids are so sad.

So sorry to read about you loosing your cat, ours was missing for a week and we looked everywhere then one morning she returned home very hungry, I think she had been locked in someones shed or spare room.......try knocking on doors and asking people to look for her. It's a worry for you. Hoping you find her soon.

Gutted for you!!! Losing a pet is sure a horrible thing to go through. Hope you find her soon.

[missypops]

is she neutered? if not she's out throwing herself at an available tom!

try going out shaking her favourite cat biscuits, knock on doors, she wont be far.

Hi when i got home my neighbours were outside our houses and there was a black cat with white paws and it didnt like being picked up, only difference was it had a red collar on and im not sure what gender it was...
Were in the Lexton Drive/North Road area

[Topsy42]

Thanks

No shes not been done yet. I dont think the one in Lexton is ours. We are going out in a minute door knocking etc.

Tom cat has returned from her wander after us walking round shouting her and putting posters up. She's a bit shocked to be given squeezy tight hugs and extra food but she seems absolutely fine. Thank god !

[Stupot]

Good news.. Considering it's the first time out, she's done well to presumably be able to follow her original trail marking and find her way back.

Have you got someone to take care of your cat, when you go into the place in Litherland? I'm hoping you've been able to stay in your home???
Glad your cat has come back to you x

[gardenwall]

So good to see that tom cat has returned home! Hope you all have a happy relaxing evening>
also hope that things are soon better for you all in every way.

I know, when we got her we were told it was a male. We realised she was a female but we had called her Tom Cat. I call her he , him, she , her. Confused. Yes.

Im so glad she came home but you need to prepare for kittens in about 9 weeks time

was about to say the same thing!! think you have your hands full now, wait till they arrive!

[Topsy42]

Oh freck.

What do i do, I wanted to take her in to be done etc before I hit the streets.

What do I do please?

[woodlands]

Book her in and have her spayed this week before her pregnancy develops.

Do you think? I dont like the sound of that , its like a cat abortion isnt it?

You're having her put into boarding kennels when you move this week aren't you? Why don't you mention it to the kennel and they can make that decision, it's not so much a cat abortion, look at it like a morning after pill preventing a pregnancy from taking hold rather than bringing more unwanted cats into the world.

cats don't have a conscience or religious views and will kill their own kittens under some circumstances, so don't worry about making a decision because of your beliefs. Better to prevent it than add to the over population of unwanted animals. I'd like to say y9our cat will thank you for it, but ultimately she won't actually care either way.

Oh right, OK, I'll get on to it dreckly. Thankyou

Thats why I said this week, before the kittens even start to develop. Shes only a baby herself so is far better to use her energy for growing herself instead of a belly full of kittens

Whats the poss of her NOT being pregnant do u think?

Unlikely. Years ago we had a 5 month old kitten who hadn't been out as wasn't nuetered yet. She escaped for one night same as yours and was pregnant.

Topsy unless you are an animal breeder, it is the responsible thing to get all pet animals spayed. This applies to everyone. Part of the planning when you decide to buy a dog or cat is making sure the animal is nuetered as soon as possible.

There is no reason to leave an animal fertile as there should be no reason you would want to breed from them. Kittens and puppies are really sweet for a few months but the cost of vet care during pregnancy, after care, extra food etc is a lot. Then you have to find homes for the litter and how do you make sure they all go to good homes? Your kittens may end up in a home where their owner also isn't a responsible pet owner and the kitten will then go on to have more kittens of its own, and so the cycle continues. This is how we have animal shelters full of unwanted animals.

Don't contribute to that. Take a walk through a rescue centre and look at all the dogs and cats crying out as you walk past, hoping you will be their new owner. Do you want to add to that? Take advantage of being on benefits and get the cat spayed today. Woodlands have made a decent offer, contact them.

Thanks all.
