Missing Cat - Miracle!!! She's back!

Tweet

On 7th October, my neighbour's daughter came to ask if I'd seen their cat. I hadn't - for a few days. She went missing. Happily - today - she reappeared!!! She's put on a heck of a lot of weight, but I recognised her instantly. I wonder if kittens are on the cards! Here's what I diarised on the day she went missing; Missing Aw. Little thing. I've never had a pet of my own. I grew up in a small rented flat, with a very young single Mum. This was back in the day that she was grateful to still have a roof over her head post baby; bringing a pet into the house would not have been allowed. Once I flew the nest, I soon settled with an anti-pet person. Plus, over the years I have realised that I am allergic to cats. I adore pooches, but I have a recurring nightmare that I do have one, and forget about it, so it gets really poorly and dies. I've never had a pet of my own. I love animals. Anyway - missing. Around a year ago, a cat started to greet me every night when I can home from work. I'd always talk to her. I'd call her 'Naughty', as she'd get so keen to see me she'd nearly run under my wheels as I parked my car! She didn't have a collar, so I wasn't sure who looked after her. I didn't stroke her, but she stroked herself against my legs. I soon became smitten with little 'Naughty'. I think she was a girl. I added cat treats to my weekly shopping list. The photo is one of her, outside my front door. Patiently awaiting a tiny treat. A couple of weeks ago a little girl knocked on my door, to ask if I'd seen her cat. What with uni and everything, I just thought we'd missed each other, as I have been out of my routine. Plus, a new lady recently moved in over the road, and I saw that Naughty would sometimes go to visit her after me (for more treats, I'll wager!). I thought that perhaps Naughty had given up on me. Now, it seems, she is missing. I told the little girl that I hadn't seen her for a while, but I'd let her know next time I see her. I haven't seen her.
