Subject: Archie has been found !!
Hi Sam,
Fantastic news !!.....Missing Archie is home !!
Just had a call from his owners (Tuesday 17.00 hours 4th Sept 2007). Archie is sitting on his Mum's lap, he's lost lots of weight and has battle scars, but is otherwise fine.
The Blue Cross in Cambridge rang them to say a lady in Cambridge (about 2 - 3 miles from Archie's house) had a Siamese cat in her garden, (she had not seen any of the publicity about Archie being missing) which had been around sometime. His owners rushed round and sure enough it was Archie, who, eventually went into a cat trap.
Thank you for all your help, suggestions and support, VERY much appreciated.
best wishes,
Barbara
