Hi I'm SO sorry Michelle and know just what you're going through. The same thing happened to me last year when I had been away for a couple of days. I had given my cat up for lost because he ALWAYS came for food and there was no sight of him. BUT...four days later he came back, very thin and hungry and with ground down claws so he had been locked in somewhere. I did see a black cat on the grass in Meadowsweet a few days ago. I'll keep an eye out for him and call you if I find him. I really hope you do...don't give up. If you need any help taking fliers around give me a shout, I'm at 17. Moira

I'm extremely pleased to report that Buzz returned home around 10 pm last night - my daughter, Daisy and I put some leaftlets through doors and walked around the estate for over an hour last night to see if we could find him. I think he got shut in somewhere as he was extremely hungry and thirsty.... welcome back Buzz.Moira - thank you for much for your message and offer of help, much appreciated.Michele

Michelle I'm SO pleased that Buzz is back from his "adventure" safe and sound!! If you're anything like I was, you'll have aged about 10 years in the time he was away!!. I'm delighted that you've got him back. Moira

I feel quite sleep deprived!! You can't help but worry if they're missing but it's lovely when they do come home. Daisy was so pleased to see him this morning too and gave him a great big hug! So so pleased he's home - thank you for your support. Michele
