Missing cat in Hove, please look in this thread to see if he might be close to you...

[Ninja Elephant]

I have called the neccessary numbers and my ma believes she heard a sad miaow in the garden he was last seen in (25 hours ago! ) so hopefully he's planning his comeback. We're trying to be patient and hope he'll appear when ready. I just want to know he can hear us.

He adopted us back in the day when his previous family shut him out. They'd had a baby apparently, and she kept pulling Tiger's tail... He lashed out and they kicked him out. Didn't tell anyone, just shut him out to fend for himself. He then adopted us, me more specifically, and he's been a part of the family since then. He disappeared for about 3 days less than a year after first coming to us and then just appeared again out of the blue. But that was 7 years ago and he knew the area. He doesn't know this area, so I'm hoping he's not ventured far. We shall see.

Fingers crossed for him and you

Thank you. I have the traffic wardens on the case now too.

I have a good feeling he'll turn up, it's just depressing at the moment.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

WE'VE GOT HIM. I am reliably informed he is in a catbox. I am heading his way now to confirm, I wouldn't guarantee my mum hasn't catnapped a local!

But she's adament it's him. It's an amazing feeling, been a horrible day...

Thank you everyone for the support and advice.

cats will go and have a look about mostly to look for a bolt hole (for him you were that bolt hole).
it does sound like he is just waiting until it is quiet to make an appearance Portland Road is never that quiet though (we know the area we also used that vets a long time ago).
you might like to try the old sock trick to get him out of hiding if you have an unwashed sock leave it somewhere near where he was last seen the scent may bring him out (yes and I do know this does sound a little left field ........but it does work and has many times)

That would have been a superb idea and I would have gone and done that, but he has appeared (in case you missed the above post). Thank you for your posts in this thread, we really appreciate it.

Ah, so you have now seen it! I shall be hugging him for a while and won't let him go.

Excellent. Tell him not to be silly next time though.

Made my day. Make sure you get him a nice treat for his tea

Yep, as soon as I am reunited with him there'll be a picture. Have I posted this one?

We will be having words. I'll be having a few words with the vets too!

I wonder if they make sausage flavoured catfood?

Excellent stuff... I'll call the hunt off on my facebook now.

 

[pasty]

Great news NE. I know exactly how you feel right now

 

[Meade's Ball]

Excellent news!
For punishment you should start sharpening your claws on his lap and feeding him soya cod whilst you gorge on chicken lumps and tuna brains.

[brighton_girl87]

Yaaay. That's fantastic news.

 

[Rugrat]

Just reading this and glad you got him back Kieran

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Cheers all

He has that look of knowing he's been a naughty boy.

Best possible outcome. Wish I still had a cat.
