Hi - the lady I spoke to has a cat and a dog herself. She took the cat to her vets so the vet could check to see if the cat was microchipped. The vet confirmed the cat was a female. I asked the lady several times if she was sure the cat was female and she said 100% yes and the cat was only young....about 1 year old and very very frightened. I suspect the vet must have confirmed all of this.
I was shocked that an expensive pedigree cat would not be microchipped and she also was suprised about this. When my cat went missing (in total 3 times now)....nobody even knew what a Bengal looked like so I described my cat as a tabby because they are so similar. However once again I presume that since she took the cat to a vet that the vet must have known what breed it was.
I would advise anyone with a lost young female cat which may have similar markings to a bengal/tabby lost in the Northamtonshire area to email me.
