Was just round at my Mothers and there was this Tabbie cat sitting at the back door
as I opened the Door the Tabbie went in, Just to hear my mother say " I've just put her out " :doh:
She says for the last 2 days she has been hanging around the area and nobody knows where she comes from
apart from being a wee bit thin she is in good fettle, and very affectionate :Luv: guessing She's just over a year old
and wearing a Blue collar, So is obviously somebodys :scared:
The problem is Mother already Has Korky, so reluctantly she is going to be putting this Tabbie back outside shortly :(
and it's :censored: freezing and windy :(
Me, I have Olivia, but I can't help worrying about this poor wee babe
What would You Do ???
-
Can your Mum put some kind of covered shelter in the back garden, even if its a box with a blanket?
Maybe a paper collar or something attached to the current collar asking the owner to get in touch?
Its a tough one, I wonder if someone has moved into the area recently and this babe is theirs :shy:
-
Can you get said little one to a vet for scanning to see if there is a chip
If all else fails take said cat home and put in bathroom for the nioght and go back to your Mums tomorrow and do a chap door run exercise to see if she has an owner or iif Olivia has a new friend! :evillaugh:
-
Could belong to someone or been left behind, Schui had a collar mark but was left behind. First thing would be to put a paper collar on asking if this cat belongs to you ring this no... if your mum can touch her (CP can give you these or you could make one) and keep asking around. Also contact local lost and found to see if anyone has a reported a cat missing. As Clare says until an owner is found some shelter for the cat would be kindest.
-
Stick up some posters, thats how I found that two cats who came through my flap in London had homes, and ring localvets to see if anyone has reported a cat missing
-
I agree with everyone else Stuart - get some checking done in the area and with the vet. As it's so young can't it sleep in a spare room for the night cos yes it is ruddy freezing. :rofl: :hug:

Mum left the Shed open, and this morning Tabbie was nowhere to be seen, she did say, for a while last night, that
the Tabbie was trying to get in through the cat flap but Korky has a magnetic thingy on His collar so only He can get in :(
Poor wee thing :( :(
I took my Mum through to peterhead and when we got home Tabbie was sitting at the door step I did tell her about the paper collar
but it looks like I'll have to do it, Mums pretty tight with cat food ( serves her right for feeding all the other local cats too )
but she was only putting down some dried food for Tabbie, and I think she's a wee bit on the thin side
I have went down to the local Co-oP and bought some Felix in Gravy, Tabbie scoffed a whole pouch down in about 3 mins :shocked:
Problem with the vets is " I dont Know if they have a scanner " and I fell out with them and Left over the carry on with Hamish and
Missing Blood results, nearest vet is 13 miles away
not too keen on knocking on doors or posters :-[ Fraserburgh is quite a big town
I was down at my Garage speaking to a young couple cause thier Bairn was getting excited about the bikes, when who should trot by but the Tabbie :shocked:
This is a Really good bit away from my Mums, far too far for a normal cats territory, poor babe Must be Lost/abandoned :(
The couple said Tabbie had been sitting on thier window sill a couple of nights ago as they have 2 cats of thier own
So the plan now is to Get a paper collar made up and maybe get Carol or mum to see if the vets have a scanner
I have told my mum to keep feeding Tabbie as this will keep it in the area, assome of the roads around here are quit busy :(
Local paper comes out tomorrow so will have a look to see if anyones put in an add in the lost section
-
Sadly the fact theres a collar doesnt mean the cat isnt lost or a stray, people dump and abandon with collars on :(
Glad she has food and shelter and fingers crossed shes safe soon
-
Ok, i have phoned the vets whom I dont like, and they will do a scan tomorrow costing £0
The poor Tabbie is now in the house, Has Met Olivia and now wants to leave :(
I think if Olivia had Her way, Tabbie would now be " Hung Drawn and quartered "
Olivia has Her Evil face on >:( and everytime Tabbie comes within 3 ft she Hisssessssss
Tabbie backs away
I am now in the spare room with Tabbie, she has Food Water and Litter tray ( which has been used )
Her stool was formed but not on the firm side
will keep uz up to date on how I get on at the vets tomorrow
got a funny feelin, I ain't gonna get much sleep tonight :tired:
Keeping fingers She's Chipped
she is currently recovering from a cat nip overdoes

Good luck with this little girl Stuart, so very kind of you to take her out of the cold and care! :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
Good luch. Tabby looks lovely
-
You just got adopted Stuart (Olivia and Tabbie's butler) :naughty:
-
Aw she's a cutie, hope you can find out where she's come from :Luv:
-
tabby is :Luv2: love that tail ;D
had a stray in london who had a collar and went no further than the porches or middle of road for two weeks and managed to get her into a rescue, she was gorgeous but vicious when she saw kocka.
-
Olivia is bound to act like that cos you've treated her like a Queen since she came in to your life. :Luv2:
Glad you're looking after the Tabby though - looks at home :evillaugh: :rofl:
What if she's not chipped or in the missing pets section of the paper????? :hug:
Mary
-
:Luv: Aww bless her, well done for caring and hope you find the owners Stuart xx
-
On the plus side she's now in a safe warm place, and you said Olivia needed a friend - you forgot to consult her Olivianess on this!
Hope you can find an owner she is a cutie - very like our Miss Maya
If no owner can be found you will be on the side of always agreeing with the ladies as you will be well outnumbered! ;D
-
First off erm........ Jasper is a BOY :-[ :evillaugh:
even tho Hamish and Misty were neutered, I'm not an expert and don't have a habit of examining cat Genetilia :doh: :rofl:
Yes as you may have guessed 1yr 9mth's old neutered Jasper had a micro chip ;D and will be reunited with HIS Slaves tonight
Jasper has been Missing since the 24th Jan = 11 days today, He is about 3/4's of a mile away from His home :shocked:
Only confusing bit is the Lady had phoned the same Local radio station that my Mum did, I assume with a very similar description
but it did not make any bell's ring, also the same with the Vet's, Lady had phoned them a week ago giving description etc...
But when I phoned, the Lady checked the records and said there was no matching description :shocked:
oh well, all's well that end's well, at least I can stop worrying now ;) :evillaugh:
P.S. Queen Olivia shall be over the moon once she discover's that the stranger is no longer in HER territory :wow:
-
what great news, they must be delighted!
-
Over the Moon :wow: they wouldn't stop thanking me :innocent: :evillaugh:
-
Well done thats brilliant news!
-
That's brilliant news ;D well done
-
:1st place: Stuart - Jasper's 'parents' must be thrilled :hug:
-
Yay, this is wonderful news ;D ;D
Odd that the vets didn't put two and two together though :shify:
-
That's a result. I can imagine how happy Jasper's family must be :)
-
That's so nice that this story will come to a happy end. And he will be reunited with his slaves :)
-
Thats brilliant ;D
-
:hug: Well done that man.
-
Excellent news
-
Well done Stuart and of course Olivia for making sure he had a microchip!
Wouldn't be the folks at the awfy nice shed in Kintore would it - they put out a thing for us when Beijing was missing and 3 othe brindle torties turned up in calls to us and 2 were reunited with their owner and the third has stayed at her new abode and our little girl was found 30 foot up a tree!

Raining cats :shocked: :evillaugh:
Yeah Liz , after seeing the way Olivia reacted with Jasper, I cant help thinking back to when Hamish first met Misty, and how Lucky I was that they got on Straight away :wow:
I feel really glad that this has had a happy ending :)
-
Thats the lady just off the phone, she's on her way down to pick Jasper up
But...... 10 Min's ago, Jasper let out that familiar Yowl !!! " I'm away to be Sick " and sick he was, about 4 sachets of undigested food :sick:
and on the last regurge there was this orange thing ?? Poor Jasper had been trying to eat a Balloon :shocked:, just Glad that thats it out of his system
just hope its all out :scared:
-
Maybe the lovely Olivia was trying to tell you something about Jasper being temporary ... :sneaky:
-
I'm so pleased Stuart - a happy ending for everyone there.
Well done you. :hug:
Mary
-
Fab news bet Jasper will be happy when reunited with his Meowmy
-
So glad this has a happy ending for all concerned especially her highness Miss Olivia!
Was our local station the lot at the awfy nice shed - they were so good when Beijing was missing - 3 other torties got reunited with their owners during her mission 30 foot up a tree for 5 days in sub zero temps!
-
Hi Stuart,
Just registered!
Jasper gave out another yowl - just as we left your place - and was sick again however it was just liquid matter this time.
I can't thank you, Carol and your mum enough for being so kind to him and I can see from all the posts on here that you and your fellow cat lovers were all genuinely concerned about him.
He has been very quiet since getting home and has disappeared under my bed - his usual hidey hole - and is now fast asleep.
I will hopefully get an appointment for him tomorrow to get him checked out - just incase there is any more balloon causing him discomfort.
I'm sure he will really miss Olivia - he must've thought he was 'archie' living in with a lady. Lol.
Anyhoo, I will keep you posted on how he is doing.
Thanks again,
Katherine,
Jaspers meowm (stole this idea from the message earlier - lol)

This is a great thread! Good work Stuart, and welcome to Purrs, Katherine. :)
-
That's wonderful that you got Jasper reunited with his meowmy! Thank god for microchipping :)
I'm a North Easter too, the lovely Middlesbrough to be exact :innocent:

Hiya Claire :)
erm........North East of Scotland I meant :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Oh :-[ haha must start paying more attention!
-
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Jasper is pretty much back to his usual self - he came out from his hidey hole and jumped up onto the foot of the bed lin the middle of the night - I got the biggest display of affection this morning as if to let me know that he was feeling better and happy to be home. I didn't get him to the vet unfortunately but I am keeping a close watch over him just incase.
The cheeky monkey has been trying his luck to get out and play! I told him he is grounded! LOL. I'm too scared to let him out - I couldn't cope with him going AWOL again - we missed him so much and he might not be so lucky next time.
Any suggestions or advice on this?
I will post some photos soon of Jasper - he used to be such a poser when getting his photo taken, now he turns away in disgust!
Stuart, I will still keep you up to date - loved the photo of Olivia - she definitely owns the house, lol.
Thanks again everyone for all the lovely comments,
Jaspers meowm.

Hello Katherine and :welcome: to Purrs
If Jasper wants to go out I would be inclined to let him out, but not overnight. In view of the fact that he was so far away, he could have hitched a lift in a van or car, cats don't usually wander so far away.
:ahh:
-
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for your response.
I have always just let him out through the day - I like to have him in at night so I can spoil him after I get home from work! This is why I'm quite wary of letting him out now because it was daytime he disappeared. The only time other than this that he didn't come home was when he got hurt last year - either by a car or someone's foot - he had a fractured pelvis - and I was very wary of letting him back out then.
Maybe I'll feel better in a week or so - I thought pets were supposed to reduce stress! LOL.
Katherine.
-
Hi Katherine, if he had a factured pelvis previously it's likely that he was hit by a car and then having been missing it sounds to me as the safest thing for him would be to catproof your garden, would that be possible? It would give you peace of mind and keep him safe :hug:
-
Hi Kathrine, I have sent you a PM ;)

:hug: So glad you have been reunited: just shows the value of chipping!
As your little monkey is obviously an explorer, my piece of advice is visit the Purrs shop! Tan has the BEST toys ever for keeping cats entertained indoors, Turbo Track for when you are at work, Da Bird and attachments for interactive play. The toys in action:

Stuart that big picture of olivia is great, what a Diva ;D
And doesn't She Know it !!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Glad there was a happy ending :wow: ;D
Its wise to keep any cat thats been missing in for a period to re establish home connections so i dont blame you for grounding him Katherine
