I reckon he might have a gf on the scene somewhere
I'd better not tell Milly
Thanks for all your kind words and concern, it definitely means a lot to have people to talk to when you're worrying so much. Geoffrey is fine today, a bit quiet and clingy and he slept with his head on mummy's hand but he certainly hasn't attempted to go anywhere!
There seems to be a bit of a 'turf war' going on, Bluebell another cat has a territory of about a mile, she bullies every cat in the village (so I discovered chatting to other kitty owners yesterday!) we reckon that Geoffrey chased her off but ended up being off his territory and got lost from there - the part of the village we found him was the end that she lives at, and he wouldn't have known where he was.
We had a phone call from the local farmer this evening to see if we'd found him, I thought that was really lovely - he said he'd check the barns and everything this morning but in all honesty I'm not sure I believed that he would
so I'm even more pleased at my lovely community!
Do you think I should put notes back round telling everyone he's back and thanking them for their support? I don't want to be a nuisance but on the other hand so many people have shown genuine concern that I really would like to thank them.
