There is a feral kitty who lives on the grounds here at my work (he was here the last time I worked here too but I hoped that someone owned him and he just liked being in the grounds to catch mice etc as there are fields surrounding us)
He is looking rather thin this time round (Its been 8 months since I worked here last) and he was really grubby the other day when it was raining :'( :'(
I have given him the name Charlie - he is b&w - a bit like a felix cat ;D the other day I tried to get near him but he was scared and ran away :(
I bought him a bowl last night which I have left under my car today with some dry food in - do you think this is the right thing to do?
I wonder if he needs worming if he is getting thin? Not really sure what to do for the best for him :'( I will try to get a picture if I see him later...
-
Is he neutered, Dawn?
Feed him regularly in the same spot for a while. He'll get used to you and might become approachable. It'll also help should someone need to trap him. ;)
-
Defo feed him Dawn, it sounds like this little one needs some TLC, particularly as he's deteriorated since you last saw him.

I had hoped that he might... he seemed a bit unsure of me the other day but didnt run off immediately, he waited until I got quite close - not sure if he was checking me out for food :rofl:
I will buy a box of dry to keep in my car, so I remember every day - I had to pack his "lunch" when I packed mine so I didnt forget :rofl:
Not sure if he is neutered - do you think I should ask CP what they think about trapping him etc? I know someone who works in the local CP and she helps run the neutering mobile unit every week so she might want to come and try and get him.
-
Def. give your CP pal a nudge. Hopefully she can get him scanned for a chip as well.
Good Luck! ;D

I would certainly trap him, and have a vet give him a MOT flea and worm and the if it were in our town we would put him in a barn until safe to release on the farm until a home could be found.
-
Okay I will contact some local rescues today :)
I have been out to look and there is no sign, he hasn't eaten his food yet :(
-
My colleague called me to say he was eating the food so I went out and he hadn't had much, he got scared by someone pulling up in a car (grr)
He was interested when I got the bowl out nearer to him and started calling him - but then someone walked along the path he was on and he ran off :( he so skinny.. I hope he comes back for the food, I have put it back under my car.
Felt like a crazy person with people staring at me in car park - should watch myself, working for mental health and all :rofl:
-
Let 'em stare, you're doing the right thing :). Hope you can feed Charlie up, win his trust and get him into care.
-
Charlie has picked at the food today (dry PAH chicken flavour) not eaten too much though :( I think I will try him on wet food tomorrow (my three will be jealous :rofl:)
He has taken up home next to my car though, in the sun :Luv: love him ;D
Been in touch with a lady from the cat rescue CHAR in Warrington and she has given me a number to call to arrange for him to be caught and taken in and rehomed - it sounds silly but I will be sad to see him go :( wish I could pet him!
-
Thats great, he may well be pettable once he gets some TLC! Good work Dawn another kitty off the streets :)
-
Excellent news, well done Dawn ;D ;D
-
>:( >:( I am so mad!
I got told off by the manager of the site today for leaving food out for Charlie :'( I wsnt sure if they would mind me calling the rescue and having him taken away (wasnt sure if people here might be attached to him etc) but defo calling them today.
They came and got me out of the gym to tell me off! I thought, well the food can stay there until i've finished and when I got out he had eaten it all :Luv: and was having a wash - he is very grubby :(
-
Meanies, did you say someone would need to come on site to get him?
Do you think if you sat in your car at lunch time he would get in it to eat? Would be a shame if you lost the friendship your making with him.
-
I think I would skip the bowl and just 'accidentally' spill some dry on the ground every time I got out of the car ...

I agree with blackcat .... it's amazing how much dry cat food can "just fall out of your pocket into a nice little pile under your car" when you get out ;) :rofl:
-
wasnt sure if people here might be attached to him etc
If they thought enough of him they would have done something by now. Living in a car park is not in a cats interest.
Is water available for the little one?
-
Living in a car park is not in a cats interest.
Defo not good for cats underneath cars all day........the fluids that can leak from a car are highly toxic even fatal to a cat.... :(
-
I would be tempted to give him wet rather than dry in case he can't get a good enough water intake. But, fingers crossed the rescue can help you, as it would be better for him to be trapped and sorted. Bless you for caring though.
-
I gave him wet yesterday which he hoovered up before I got back to the bowl - I want to put out food today but I dont think I could put it in the bowl - I did think about leaving a little pile :rofl: or there are lots of greenery bits so maybe put the bowl in a bush and I am sure he would smell it?
I did think about putting out a water bowl Ela, but I am afraid they will tell me off again now :'( I know car park isnt the best place for him, but people seem to think I am a bit daft/overreacting by wanting to do something about him and have told me to just leave it (don't worry I wont)
-
Its a shame they're not as caring as you Dawn, I would keep finding a way to feed and water this little one until he can be trapped and on his way to a better life :hug:
-
but people seem to think I am a bit daft/overreacting by wanting to do something about him and have told me to just leave it
It is them that are daft for not realizing the implications of leaving poor Charlie in the car park and not realizing how better quality his life would be once re-homed. I would suggest you say nowt ;D and continue to try to solve the situation ASAP. We are an animals voice and I am sure if Charlie could speak he would be saying please get me out of here.
-
Hmmm.... im wondering if this cat is being used as the local ratter! Grrr!!!
(just editting to say "not all cats are cut out to be ratter's....also if they are ill looking they should still be trapped and vet checked) ;)
You know in your heart that what you are doing is the right thing :hug:
Just wonder when Charlie's home and dry if another poor kitty will appear :shify:
-
Well, when I got told off for feeding him the woman said "we had a feral problem a few years back and dont want them encouraged"
then sounded like she thought the idea of me calling a rescue was incredulous - so I didnt ask what they did about the feral problem!
Just been told that he does get fed though, scraps from the estates lads lunch, and he catches mice. Had no call back from the rescue yet :(
-
I would try leaving the food in a more secluded place, out of the way where no one can see, when he gets comfortable with the spot it should be easier to catch him.
I have also been left feeling like a crazy lady when trying to help a cat out, I don't care. :shy:
-
Miseries >:( >:(
Just leave some biscuits under the car for him. Poor little fella.
I did this when I worked at my other place, leave food out for them. I couldn't not do it, it was something that HAD to be done. I just hope they are ok now I don't work there any more.
-
I agree Dawn, I know you couldn't just leave him - sod those stupid, ignorant people.
-
I think you're doing a grand job Dawn :hug:
Its shocking how little regard a lot of people have for cats. When we rescued Meg and Tabitha I couldn't believe how many people said 'don't worry, they're only cats, they'll be fine' >:(
-
I could only leave him a bit of dry today even though he prefers wet because I cant really use the bowl as it will be more obvious :( still nothing back from the rescue...
I parked my car on the opposite side so that nobody can see under my car from the pathway unless they actually make a big effort - where I was before you could see the food when you were walking by. I dont see how someone could be so cruel as to tell me to stop doing it though.
-
If they say you must stop then maybe the RSPCA could be mentioned. Knowingly leaving a stray animal to starve must be worth a ticking off. I hope the rescue get back to you soon.
-
Poor Charlie and good on you for helping him Dawn :hug:
What kind of horrible person would complain about feeding a poor cat, this smacks of feline discrimination to me >:( Do you think they'd tell you off if you started feeding the birds?
-
Still nothing from the rescue. I will give them another call today :shy:
You'd never believe it though - I got back from the gym, and under my car it was as if it had been raining cat biscuits - very strange indeed ;)
Well I am sure a certain feral won't be going hungry today anyway ;D
Bit worried about what he will eat over the weekend though :'(
-
Wow, its amazing, where did all these cat biscuits come from lol ;)
I think your site managers are complete meanies, glad you're ignoring them ;D
-
I looked the lady's name up on the internet, and she isn't even site manager, she is just manager of one of the departments!
So a big fat :P to her.
Last time I heard, feeding poor hungry kitties isn't a sackable offence ;)
-
I'll second the :P to her then, sounds like a jumped up madam sticking her nose in where its not required ;)
-
I havent seen him today :(
I hope he has eaten the food or it will be there for all to see when I drive off! :-[
Left another message on the rescue ladies phone - hope she gets back to me soon - don't want to keep hassling!
-
We've a trap you could take back with you to try if you want - its not bvery good but we would deffo need it back.
-
Thats really nice of you Angie - I would need someone to get back to me before I trap him though, cause i'd have a caught kitty and nowhere to take him! :rofl:
Just spoken to Phil, he is off on Monday - so if I can ring round some rescues tomorrow and get someone in Warrington who will take him, I can set the trap Monday and get Phil to come and collect him and take him to whichever rescue when he is caught... does that sound like a plan?
I'd love to see him go somewhere he will be looked after - and get him healthchecked ;D they must keep the name Charlie now though :evillaugh:
-
Courtesy of Angie, I now has a trap :shify:
Earlier on, I even caught a Cheese :evillaugh:
-
:luck: with trapping Charlie.
-
I don't think any warrington rescues have any space for him :( just rang three and all said they are full to the brim :'(
I need somewhere for him to go before I can trap him :(
-
That's such a shame :( Hopefully a space will come up soon so this little one can have a chance of a new life.
In the meantime, I would say keep doing what you're doing in feeding and looking out for him. Have you seen him today?
-
I havent seen him but others have today - Pilchards are hiding in the gardeny part next to the car park.
People still think I shouldnt move him :(
-
People still think I shouldnt move him
I am sure you will do what is in the cats interest and ignore the advice of people who cat see a little cat in a car park and and do nothing in spite of all the dangers.
-
Oh Dawn you are a star :hug:
Charlie sounds gorgeous and I hope that a space can be found somewhere for this wee guy :Luv:
-
Don't worry Ela, I will just not mention him anymore cause I think people think I will upset the people who feed him scraps etc - but I said its ok to say you are upset he will go when you get to go home to your nice food and nice warm bed when he is out in all weathers with no food.
I will call a lady from CP who I have had contact with a few times (she helped us with homechecking so we could get Gerti from CCG - she also got her spayed for us, and I collected food for her at Christmas) she is a bit out of Warrington area but she isnt the type that can rest knowing there is a needy cat out there ;D hope she can help. I didnt want to call her as she isnt strictly Warrington but I think she will be my last hope!
Warrington CP passed me on to the RSPCA so I have their number but don't want to call them really.
-
After not seeing Charlie for a whole week (other people have but I havent) he is back! :clap:
Hope he eats the food I have left him out today - always feels like a bit of a stealth mission trying to do it without anyone noticing :rofl:
On Monday I left him pilchards and he dragged the bowl right out from under my car and right into the middle of the car park to eat it - thanks for blowing my cover Charlie-boy :rofl:
Still no space for him in Warrington - I rang a lovely lady who works for Wigan CP and she said that I can take him into her vets to get him neutered on monday if he needs it (but thinks he will be stockier if he was) he might even be a spayed lady :-[! and flea and worm he/she.
I just need to catch him on Monday now. At least he will get a health check even if he doesnt have a home to go to yet.
-
Keep up the good work Dawn ... good job s/he has been called Charlie it's a bisexual name.
ooops modified ... I meant a Unisex name :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
good luck with Charlie, Dawn. S/he's lucky to have someone like you and sounds like s/he's seriously into pilchards :D.
hope his life looks up really soon poor wee boy, er, girl. Whatever.
-
Thanks :)
Me thinks now though that maybe Charlie isn't as feral as i first thought. I came out from work and he/she was lying in the same position and hadnt been near the food under my car - so I brought it over to him/her (will just say him as used to saying that!) he was all curled up asleep.
I made little tutting noises so he wouldnt be shocked to see me and he got up to see the food - he was making little wheezing noises when he breathed :'( He let me get alot closer than normal (about 1-2 metres away) and I put the food down - he must have been starving cause he went right over and started wolfing it down - he even starting using his paw as a little hand to get out the last few bits (I love it when cats do that!)
Then a woman and child started coming over going "ooooh cat" etc and i thought " :censored: great.... they'll make him run away" so I said to them "can you not come any closer please, he is a stray and is scared" and the woman spoke to me about him saying there is another cat too, a black one and that one nearly got ran over today - a van had to do an emergency stop :'( I have never seen the black one, it might not come onto our side of the grounds maybe, but this just made me think that more than ever they need to be taken away from there.
Anyway, after that I thought, well sod it if he is eating I will go and fill the bowl up again, so I slowly went over and took the bowl and he kept an eye on me but didnt really flinch. I came back with the tin of half eaten food and he looked up at me and did a big, rough meeeoowww ;D cause he knew I had more food for him. I am not supposed to feed him at all, I have even stopped talking about him in work now so I felt really concious of the fact I was standing in a really empty part of the car park, in view of where the woman who told me off's window is - with a tin of cat food in my hand :rofl:
I tried filling the bowl (and he came right over, I could have touched him but didnt want to push it) and started eating. I moved it back a foot or so behind a bush but i think he was a bit too weary to walk past me to get it. I went to walk off hoping he would smell it was there and go over to eat it but he just looked up at me with the food can in my hand and did another big rough meow at me :Luv: I walked back to the car and sat in it for a minute hoping he would smell the food in the bowl but he kept looking over at me.
I started to call Phil to ask if he thought I should stay while he ate it, but I turned round and he was eating it! ;D
Up close though, he does look a state, he has wounds on his ears, I am guessing from scratching flea bites? He has little patches of fur missing and he is filthy :(
I took a picture of him to show anyone who is interested
-
Sounds like he is lost and alone, rather than a feral. It would be great if you could get him to the Wigan vet and then you (we) can take it from there.
You are doing fantastically well and I know I am not alone in rooting for Charlie (I would guess he is male from the pic).
:hug:
-
Aww bless him, he looks a right old scruffbag. Good on you for looking out for him :hug: Got everything crossed for Monday ;D
-
Awwww bless his wee paws, Charlie is a sweetheart :Luv:
I love B&Ws :Luv:
Dawn you are a star for looking out for him and I also have everything crossed for Monday :hug: :hug:
-
Charlie is lovely and hope that he will be OK ;D
-
Charlie is fab. He reminds me of those cartoon cats you see. You know the "boys in the hood" type. All he's missing is the top hat! :evillaugh:
-
Bless him/her. The sooner out of there the better and I am sure you will then rest easier. Then perhaps you can start hunting the black cat ;D
-
;) not sure I want to be hunted ...
-
not sure I want to be hunted ...
;D
-
He looks a real darling puss and I do hope he finds a proper home; a puss like that deserves much better and good on you for looking after him.
-
Poor wee thing looks like he's been through the wars :(
Well done for what you're doing for him, Dawn.
-
Aww bless his dirty socks :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
He certainly doesnt have a feral glare, well done for gaining his trust ;D
-
Aw, bless him, he looks like a cutie :Luv: Glad you gaining his/her trust as well, will make trapping Charlie much easier I would think ;D
-
:thanks: for support
I have a problem today though - I forgot that Phil starts his new job today (I am awful with dates etc) and so does not have any more weekdays off.
This gives me a problem as I was going to set the trap and then when Charlie is caught I could call Phil and he could come and take him to the vets. My work are not understanding about him at all and think I should just leave him be but he seems like he definitely needs vet attention and no way am I just leaving him there.
Its going to be hard to trap him though I think and I cant leave the trap out all day because if he gets in there early, I have nothing to do with him until 5pm when I can leave to go to the vets (wont be allowed to leave early for him, I can just tell)
Shall I wait and leave the trap at 4.30 and then keep checking? there isnt much chance of catching him right when I need to though as I sometimes dont see him for a day or two.
Or.. if I come back at night to get him, I would have to wait until the next day to take him to the vets and I dont know where I could put him, and he would be terrified probably.
Anyone got any good ideas? I really want to help him and I think I am pretty much his only hope - I have been near enough told that i would be wrong to remove him as staff/patients like to feed him - but if they like him that much they would want him to live somewhere with regular food and a nice warm bed... :(
-
(wont be allowed to leave early for him, I can just tell)
Do you not have a sympathetic First Aider who could advise the boss that you are not too well and need to go home? Not that I would have ever have done this when I was a First aider when there was a worthy cause you understand. ;)

When we trapped Blackie (true feral) he stayed in the trap until the next morning so Charlie should'nt have that bad a time in there....im sure he'l of been in worse situations ;)
Put the trap down and wait and see what 5pm brings :hug:
-
....im sure he'l of been in worse situations
I agree, if you just place a towel or something over the trap. At least it is a means to a better live after.
-
Ela, I couldnt do that - not least because I dont know who they are and I havent long started here (3rd week)
But also, the car park is in easy view walking from building to building etc so colleagues will see the trap and know what I am up to even if I dont mention it myself.. would be too fishy!
I stupidly forgot the blanket and papers I was going to put in/over the trap so he might go in >:( so I will do it tomorrow - I am thinking if I put out the trap at lunchtime and book a vets appt (CP lady says they fill up quick) which I can cancel if dont catch him - hopefully I will have him by 5pm - but what if I catch him straight away? Shall I just keep him in there til 5? :( he will be coverd with blanket etc and i thought maybe put a "do not touch" on the blanket so people dont investigate? Dont want him getting close and running off!
I am training tomorrow so I wont really be able to keep checking on it until home time... what do you think?
Feel so clueless!! :stupid:
No sightings yet today, I had a walk around earlier on :(
-
Maybe if you put a note on it saying sick animal peeps might be less tempted ;)
What a difficult situ for you :hug:
if the workers are so wanting to keep him around why will they not want him vet checked, flea'd & wormed....a nice warm place to sleep etc.....
I wonder if they treat their children in the same manner >:(
-
Great news! :yesss: :attention: :ok:
I sent out a mass email earlier on as "urgent" to every rescue in Cheshire area from Catchat (except T, I know you are busy ;) ) asking for help with Charlie and a lady from Cat Rescue Ellesmere Port emailed me saying she is full but knows what it is like - and she would pass me onto someone who deals with ferals..
hang on.. thinking about it.. person is called Dawn - lives in Holywell - is that our Dawn? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: just looking from screen to the info i've written down... that would be amusing if it is!
She said she has a farm where he could go, or if he is tame she will try to find a home for him - I just have to trap him tomorrow! ;D
-
It is DiddyDawn... the number she gave me on the phone matches her number on CatChat :rofl:
Small world eh?
-
It is DiddyDawn... the number she gave me on the phone matches her number on CatChat :rofl:
Small world eh?
:Crazy: :Crazy: I hadn't even looked on this post and I've just spotted it's the same bloody cat I got the email about :shify:
-
:Hi:
Sorry I couldnt talk much on the phone I am a bit :shify: about talking about him now!
Will be nice to meet you though :rofl:
-
Small world eh :rofl: I literally walked in, put my computer on and saw an email from Gina......why me :Crazy: :Crazy: ;)
-
Aha...the Cat Crusader strikes again :)
I bet your feeling pretty relieved now Dawn (Cheese) ;)
-
:rofl: :rofl: small world but I wouldn't like to paint it :rofl: :rofl:
Good Luck girls x
-
Aha...the Cat Crusader strikes again :)
I will be dead at this bloody rate :tired:

:rofl:

If you leave him in the trap put him in your car as long as its not hot, some people do evil things to cats left in traps >:(
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It is a small world indeed!
Charlie looks absolutely lovely and just the sort I tend for fall for. :Luv: Pitty he's so far away... I'm sorely tempted. :innocent:
-
Okay I have my pilchards and trap - need some quick advice...
I am in training today so I can either.. put the trap out now and check it throughout lunch (12-1 ish) and then at training finish until home time (5pm) and if he is in there at any point I will put the trap in my car (raining today :( )
Or put it out at lunch and check at 5pm? (or whenever training finishes... possibly around 4pm)
I wish it wasnt raining today - I have some black sacks, do you think I should put one on the top so the inside of the cage doesnt get wet? I have a towel to put over the top once he is caught but I dont want to put it on now for it to get wet and make him cold.
-
As it is a means to an end I would put the trap out for as long as possible. I would put a sack on top so if the little one goes in at least he will not get rain from all angles
-
Dawn as you normally feed at lunchtime I would set it then, bin sacks rustle in the breeze and can make an off putting noise to a nervous boy so if you cover trap weight the bags down.
Good Luck
-
bin sacks rustle in the breeze
Oh! I was thinking of black sacks, like coal sacks, silly me. :doh:
-
Okay, Lunch time it is :) really hope I can catch him today.
Will post if anything happens :shy:
-
i've been following this thread in the background and just wanted to say good luck ;D
hope you catch the little sweetheart :)
-
Yes good luck,
Don't worry to much about him being in the cage. I've just picked up the last (hopefully) cat/kitten from the barracks. The trap was left overnight and the cat seemed quite chilled about being in the cage.
-
Its raining :( I am going to go and set it now... I hope nobody interferes with it.
I havent seen him today so I am hoping he will still go in there. Maybe he is sheltering from the cold/wet.
-
I have set the trap - behind my car as that is where he gets his food.
Yummy pilchards :sick: hope he goes in there and isnt hiding somewhere different from the rain.
I've covered the top of the trap with a bin liner and put a sign on the top that says "Please do not disturb, trapping unwell animal for vet visit"
Fingers crossed!
-
Fingers crossed here too.
Edit: would it help to put your contact details on the notice? It asserts ownership in case anyone has any funny ideas, and you may be told sooner if someone finds him in there.
-
Crossed here too!
-
Hope all goes well, have you got a placement for him?
-
Fingers crossed here too.

Grrrrr I've typed this three times not and internet explorer has crashed...
I am going to put my number on there - was just thinking that myself. I wont be able to pick up but I will at least know if something is up and someone is trying to get hold of me if it rings and I can run over on 10 min break from the lecture.
I am also going to put the rescue who own the trap on there. ;D
CC - Dawn is taking him on (Diddy)
-
"Good luck" for trapping Charlie today Dawn ;)
-
Good Luck Dawn.. sure you will get him poor love.
Have just posted on Name & Shame Dawn bout my pc acting wierd, strange that yours crashed too. I'm just so panranoid now!
-
Good luck Dawn :hug:
-
Good luck Dawn, if you give me a ring when you've got him and I'll sort out a time for picking him up. I've got to pick a cat up to take to the vets, and also a homecheck to do in Wrexham and hopefully I should be around then :tired:
-
Good Luck Dawn.. sure you will get him poor love.
Have just posted on Name & Shame Dawn bout my pc acting wierd, strange that yours crashed too. I'm just so panranoid now!
Don't worry hun, it can just be your internet provider, or the website having lots of traffic ;D
Still no sign of Charlie. Had some bad news so am out of training early.
-
Good Luck Dawn,
Hope Everything is ok? :scared:

Hope Everything is ok? :scared:
Likewise x

Really sorry I didn't mean to worry you - one of our colleagues passed away very unexpectedly and we couldnt really concentrate on training the class.
Can't really believe it, its such a shocker :(
-
aww thats a shame dawn, you's all must be shocked :hug:
xx
-
Sorry to hear that hun :hug:
-
It is upsetting, I havent been in this job long but I used to share an office with this guy the last time I worked here. Still hasn't hit me yet :( he was only 33.
Trap works anyway - just went out to check and I caught the other, younger B&W cat I only realised existed yesterday. He made really sad meow noises at me til I let him out. Then he looked gutted cause he wanted the pilchards :tired:
Where are you Charlie? :(
-
younger B&W cat I only realised existed yesterday. He made really sad meow noises at me til I let him out.
Please say he will be your next project
-
I know how you feel, Dawn, because I caught someone's pet ginger when I was trying to get my tabby feral mum. :innocent: I felt so sorry for the poor basket I gave him a whole tin of sardines to himself when I released him. We was lifelong pals after that! :rofl: :rofl:
Come on, Charlie! Stop playing us about... we're waiting! :waiting:
-

i'm not sure if this one is stray - havent got a clue :( I hope not but I will see how often I see him once Charlie is gone. He is definitely younger and in much better condition so I hope he has a home.
I will end up being feral superhero for this site :rofl:

Let me know about this one as I'm sure I can get somewhere lined up for him if he is a stray.
-
I will keep an eye out Dawn. :shify:
I have only seen him twice now so I am hoping he has a home - will be easier to see once Charlie has gone because maybe sometimes i have thought it was him from the distance as it is another B&W.
Fingers crossed Charlie appears before 5pm, really want to get him out of the rain. :(
-
Still no sign of Charlie. Had some bad news so am out of training early.
Hope everything ok, good luck with Charlie baby

Fingers crossed Charlie appears before 5pm, really want to get him out of the rain. :(
If it's raining he won't come. He'll be sheltering somewhere. :tired:

I guess its fingers crossed its a dry day tomorrow - no luck today :(
-
Hope the lure of the pilchards is strong tomorrow....
-
Fingers crossed for tomorrow, sorry to hear about your colleague :(
-
Still no luck, its been out there since 9am :( it has been raining this morning though so I think he was still hiding.
Hopefully now it is dry he will come out to play ;D
Edit: 4.10pm and still no Charlie :(
-
bet you wish you'd kept the other one now! ;)
poor charlie - its the P words, Patience and Pilchards!
good luck
-
Wish it had been the other one I was after - he was so easy! :rofl:
I really feel :sick: at the smell of Pilchards - have to keep holding my breath when I open them :evillaugh:
-
Have everything crossed here that you catch Charlie soon :hug: :hug:
Sorry to hear about your work colleague xx
-
Thanks Ellie :hug:
I just really hope I can catch him before the weekend. I am starting to fear the worst for him because of all the rain and him not being very well :'(
-
Dawn I have my fingers crossed for you ;D
Wish I lived nearer to everyone and I'd come down and camp outside your work ;)
-
I am sure you will Dawn :hug:
He is being a typical male .... difficult :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
A week gone now and no sign :'(
I am starting to fear the worst with him now I know he is ill and the weather we have had the past week.
I heard the rain hammering down last night and wanted to cry my eyes out for him out there. I really really hope he is okay. :sad no:
-
I'm sure he'll be fine Dawn :hug: Cats have a habit of disappearing at the times when you need them around. The little white one that had been abandoned turned up out of the blue as he'd been awol for a few days as well, I'm keeping everything crossed that he's safe and well, xxxxx
Is your place of work open on a weekend? It might be worth going down there early evening and seeing if he turns up......I would leave a stash of food down for him just in case and then try the trap again if he appears ;)
-
Any news?
-
I was only thinking about Charlie this morning. Hope he's OK :Luv:
-
No sign of him :(
A lady in my office reckons she has seen him on Wednesday but she was certain the younger b&w was him before so I am doubting it was Charlie - esp as nobody else has seen him - I had everyone in my dept giving me "charlie reports" they would ring me if they saw him and there is even a service user that talks to me and she hasnt seen him either.
Three weeks today :'( I hate how I will never know what happened if I don't see him again.
