Title: Missing - Male Domestic Shorthaired Cat - All Grey with White chest and Socks - Derby
Post by: EmmaMarie on December 21, 2012, 23:29:38 PM: Hi all

I'm currently worrying about my cat, tonight is the 4th night he has not returned and he's never been away from the house that long - usually back every night.

We live in Spondon (very close to Borrowash) - Derbyshire area. Please if anyone see's or hears a cat crying please go check if it's my cat, and contact me asap if it is him. He's a loved family member and we are all pretty upset. Him going missing is way out of character hence my worry he's been trapped somewhere, injured or gotten lost.

He's all grey, fairly long athletic body, he has white socks and chest, he is shy of people he doesnt know but completely harmless. His name is Socks.

Do have a read through of the hints and tips list that Sheila linked to, they're tried and tested and have helped get so many cats home safe and sound. I think the most important aspect is local posters/flyers. Another good tip is to track your postman down as he/she will have been pretty much everywhere locally in the last few days, what with the increase in Christmas post, so may have seen him on his travels.

As Sheila says, don't give up hope - have everything crossed your lovely boy is home in time for Christmas :hug:

He's been missing 5 days now and longest he's ever been away is like a day and a half :(
