This story is a full page 3 (!) spread in our local paper as he was found in Birmingham. OH just got in and showed in to me.  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.

Hurry Baggy before the RSPCA decide to PTS  :scared:

Not a joking matter I know but harsh reality.
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Having talked to my husband at length last night and agreeing we would get over the loss of the Proot and move house (just looking now) before we look for a rescue cat, he has just emailed me a link to the story, wondering if they'd consider letting the poor scrap have a home in Devon....

He's even more of a softy than me.

A cat had a narrow escape after becoming trapped on the ledge of a storm drain during heavy rain .....

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
