I dont want to get your hopes up if it isnt her but there was a cat identical to this on Birkfield Drive today, well if she has very bold markings on her side? Caught my eye as never seen a tabby in the area before. She was walking under the subway by the bus stop on Birkfield. I have written your number down so I will have another look when I get home later

Hi, that would be great, thank you

I think* I found your cat dead by the roadside, im not 100% sure it was her it could have been the same coloring, but the image haunted me and the markings are very close if I remember well, and the lighter hair on her chest stands out in my memory, the cat must have been killed instantly if thats any consolation, and it was in very good condition apart from being dead, ie well fed and clean fur, so it looks like she could have been taken by someone else looked after and then hit by a car. (Its always a car I hope you keep your future cats indoors they cant cope with traffic)

The cat I saw was slightly larger, im not sure if 3 months is enough to do that she looks more youthful in your photo, im not sure how fast they grow, she did not have white paws, she had darker or normal paws I cant see her paws in your photo but she didnt have those white sock paws

I found her on the corner of Cumberland road and Norwich road, reported it to the council I presume they picked up the body they must have done it was several days ago, I waited a long while, and the cat was stiff and totally dead, she definitely didnt suffer , it couldnt have been a more instant death that was extremely obvious

there is a guy a diabled chap that spends alot of time in the area, and he notices the cats and he remembers the cat when I described it to him maybe he can better confirm if it was her or not than me , if you can find him he was on the left as you enter into the street, down a off road pathway he said there were lots of cats in teh area that hung out together she might have been one of them

its a long way a way and I used to know a cat that looked liek yours so im not sure if I have this wrong , the set breeds look alot alike, so sorry if I have got it wrong

im just trying my best, we can work through little details of what she looked like to better narrow down if it was her or not if u like i'll do my best memory wise
