He's even more of a softy than me.

Not a joking matter I know but harsh reality.

I was at vets this morning and whilst waiting I read the lost cat posters and one photo was of a black and white long haired boy so I've cut out the article and am going to post thru vet's door today. Long shot but perhaps he will be reunited with his owners? Mark, I wouldn't worry too much about RSPCA and pts in this case as he is, thankfully, a media celeb now.
