FOUND!Went hunting again tonight, and heard a chirruping, bird-like sound in response to my calling. I honestly thought it was a bird, but followed it and tracked it down to under a car...to reveal Geocat! I think he must have been locked in a garage overnight (he smells very unfamiliar) and was able to get out this evening. Phew!

Well done - that's great news! I'll close off his report. I have to ask - what's the story behind Geocat's name?Nick

Thank you - we're so relieved! What a great service you have, and such quick responses from staff. Its nice to know that there are people around who care and who are willing to co-ordinate efforts.A big hobby of mine is geocaching - its a modern day treasure hunt type thing using handheld GPS to solve clues and find hidden containers all around the world. There's about 25 in Abingdon, and they're so well hidden I bet you walk past them daily! Geocat naturally came out of my obsession with Geocaching :-)Very best wishes,Keir
