he is. And he is not going out ever again until his bits are in a bottle. I can only hope he has not been contributing to the local gene pool ...At present he is preventing me from typing  :Luv:

finally staggered in the door at 6 tonight and opened the back door to find a very wet dog, and a very dry Smidgen. Guess who decided there was no room in the kennel for two :Luv: He rushed straight over to the food bowl and vacuumed down the two morsels of food left from Esther's breakfast and is now happily exploring the contents of the groceries that have just arrived as I was downloading photographic evidence of his return... So here he is - the wanderer returned. Thank you all so much for your sympathy and support over the last couple of days. I would not have held together had it not been for all your help. And Mark I think I owe you a payout - I did waste £30 on the flyers  :rofl: :rofl:

My thoughts are with you...and I hope he has returned home by now. If not...just keep doing everything you are doing...the more your let people in your area know the better. When you knock on doors show folks a picture of him to help them recognise him and ask them to check locked cars...garages etc.

I lost my cat when he was about 7/8 months old last year and it was through my posters and leaflet distribution that he came home safe to me a week later so there is hope. A lady had taken him home the night he went missing,  and was told about my leaflets from more than one person which led to her phoning me and getting him home. Throughout my week of panic and no sleep he had been safe, fed, and well looked after! I can't empahsis enought the importance of getting the word out in your area as much as possble. There are a lot of good and friendly people out there who want to help!

Good luck...and positive thinking.....  :hug:

I was hoping to get to the end of the page and see he was back   :hug:

I would door knock tonight and further afield than you first think. If i saw a cat that small out on his own i would take him home and then try to find his owner. Theres a good chance someone is out looking for you!

Does he wear a collar?

Oh no he is not home yet... :(
Well, 5 months is still really a kitten... I think there is a big chance that someone found him and took him home and he is under a good care.  Persist with posters and ask around with the neighbours and have the words spread out!!  I am thinking of you and little smidgen.... wishing for a happy reunion very, very soon!!

thanks again all. I am at work and have had posters printed up. Only 25 as they were a pound each and I need to keep some aside for the reward. He will probably be there when I get home tonight but if he is not I can distribute these to neighbours and have more photocopied tomorrow at work when no-one is watching. I have contacted all the vets, the RSPCA and am trying to call PDSA but their phone seems to be off the hook. We don't appear to have a Celia Hammond here. Anyone in my area who wants a poster, I can email them to you if you PM your address.

It has been suggested that he may have found a girlfriend which I guess is not impossible at five months, especially as he is such a precocious lad, if so I hope he does not get beaten up by more mature males - or catch something nasty...

Fingers crossed he is there when I get home. It is so wet and miserable he may have preferred to stay where he is if he is comfy and warm ...

Sorry to hear that Smidgen is still out; he is probably sheltering from all this rain.

The other time that Blip went AWOL, she was not back home the following morning either, so I went into the office and made up 100 posters.  I came home at lunchtime, distributing posters to a couple of local shops on the way and when I put my key in our front door, there was a loud plaintive miaow from the other side!

I have everything crossed that the same thing happens to you today, BC

Hope he comes home again soon, I agree with taking a sickie halfway through the day, then you get to run off your posters at work, and put them up in the afternoon.

Well, he's not here. Now I don't know whether to go to work so I can run off posters, or to stay at home and search for him. Esther came up on the bed last night and made a big fuss of me before settling to sleep beside me. Not sure if she was doing this as she felt sympathy or because she did not have his Smidgenship vying for my attention...

I think I will go to work, but will leave the back window open wide so he can get inside if he comes home. Poor Esther will be confined to the front half of the house. Thank you again for all your kind words. I don't think I could do this without your support.
