    When we moved house about 10 years ago we lost the cat. We got him back about a month later but he wasn't in good shape. He was about 10 or 11 at the time. We suspect he'd been catching mice and stuff on the fields at the back of the house where we'd lived. He did that a lot. Unfortunatly he probably ended up being poisoned by the mice he ate. Anyway, the upshot is that a month or so after we got him back, we had to have him put to sleep. Always a terrible time for a pet owner.

    Hope your cat comes back Frag. What is his name?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Strikingly the same story. But with a different end. My cat was also around 10 and ran from our new house. He simply could not bear the change, I believe.

    We never found him in the old place. He never returned.

    Glad you found your cat. They're so much better than dogs.

    Churchill had said that cats are the animals who look down upon humans, as opposed to dogs who look up to us, and pigs who see us as equals (atleast I think it was Churchill).


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

    Great news Frag, I'm pleased that Nero is home again. Is he one of those cats that look like Hitler by any chance?

    I'm glad your cat returned home safely! My cat is also about 18 (his name is poo-poo spanky), I'd be lost and heartbroken if he ever went missing, or god forbid, died! :(

    Happy and relieved that Nero is back. They are long hours when the little darlings decide to go missing.

    Crikey, it;s really spooked you, look at all those DP. You need some theraputic medication and then chill. You know it makes sense.
