Oops, sorry. Have been a bit snowed under with work and didn't notice the earlier thread. Just thought it unusual that she let the cat out again so quickly after he disappeared. Mine would be grounded for at least 3 weeks if they would do that.

When i first read about this i laughed at first although did think (may have posted somewhere) that the owner should keep him in at night, Well he was on the breakfast news on bbc 1 this morning along with the vet scott..somebody? (he goes on this morning and paul o grady, nice looking bloke :sneaky: )
Well he was saying its prob now habitual started off by the tastey titbits the old woman fed him, however he said that poss given the age a tiny bit of senility could be setting in aswell with podge. I was quite upset and frustrated as not once did the vet or the news readers suggest it may be in his best safety to keep him in at night :tired: I hope it doesnt "lighten" the whole cats out at night with general public and for them to think this is perfectly safe for the cats to roam all night.

Totally agree Lynn - I saw it too and was a bit miffed that there was no suggestion that a senile cat ought to be indoors. The owner is asking for trouble. Having given quite precise information about where he goes to and at what time, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cat-napped.

yes esp as he is stated as being a nfc, although it was also said he had been a stray so wouldnt have any papers, however there are too many pets being stolen for ransome money to pay for junkies habits so that is very worrying. (stupid owner and news coverage really)
I feel like emailing the news on bbc 1 and telling them that >:(
