I was passing nearby so went to have a look. They said I had just missed 2 women from the council that had been in the house. They said the cat ran out the flap so they have set the flap on "in only" and set the trap in the kitchen. They found cat food in the cupboard so are using that. The are going by at 5pm to check and again in the morning. That's all we know at the moment.

Mark · « **Reply #50 on:** April 27, 2008, 22:31:33 PM »

I am available tomorrow if the other one needs picking up

Your a star Pinkbear! I am on phones tomorrow so will check the phone first thing. Melissa is okay today very frightened but eating abit now... We have decided to give it a few days before we get her to the vets to be checked out as with luck we may of caught the companion puss cat.... I was told that she was the more nervous one, so in time i think the other will take the bait.. Will also check out the vets to see if they have past history now i know the owners name who died..

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #48 on:** April 27, 2008, 22:15:41 PM »

Just to say we went out tonight and managed to spot this puss. He's unhurt but thin and extremely nervous. Good that he's nervous as no one is going to get close enough to steal him. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for a proper stake out and trapping, but a neighbour is monitoring and one trap has been left set. At least we know he's still there!

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #47 on:** April 27, 2008, 10:43:33 AM »

We're all on stand by here, and going out for a scout round this afternoon if no news.

Another neighbour was talking about getting the

rescue in, and they haven't got a clue about Siamese and at least our Sharon has owned them for years and understands their ways.

We really need to get the other one as Melissa will pine for her pal, and vice versa.

from the photo she appears a bit underweight, but nothing too dreadful. They are a slender breed, although Pavarotti made a brave attempt to take after his namesake ...

Hoping you get 'the call' today that the other one has been caught.

I thinkn she looks fine for a Siamese - hard to tell from the photo but she looks in good condition from what I can see!

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #42 on:** April 27, 2008, 00:40:39 AM »

She looks fine to me, Sharon. Not that I'm a Siamese expert but from the state of her coat, but a lot that a few extra prawns won't fix.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #41 on:** April 26, 2008, 22:38:42 PM »

there is nothing on the phone line tonight, so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

from the photo do you think she is terribly thin or just a little bit underweight.. i never got to pick her up you see..

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #40 on:** April 26, 2008, 22:16:43 PM »

Aww bless her, and fingers crossed for the other one.

lucy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 26, 2008, 20:40:37 PM »

She's gorgeous!

Good luck with catching the other cat.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #38 on:** April 26, 2008, 19:55:48 PM »

Oh my i did get the colouring wrong didnt i? Considering i got through to some Yank in USA to confirm her ID chip number i must of written it down wrong.

Four siamese is alot actually... I do think she is missing her companion as she did seems abit depressed... My feeling is that my own two have to come first.. i have never had four cats, 3 has always been my maximum.. But we are assuming these two are related etc it may be that they hate each other....!!!

The other one is light coloured and i just rang the lady to make sure she is okay as she was quite poorly with the cat hairs today.. Her noisy neighbour wanted to ring the RSPCA!!! when they caught her this morning...Which i would of been very mad about as they were ignoring her last week. But rescueing two siamese is something for the limelight.. I do so hope we find the other one soon though.. Melissa want like being on her own i feel.. she needs companionship...

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #37 on:** April 26, 2008, 19:46:50 PM »

So pl3eased you have got one and hope the second follows shortly

Mark · « **Reply #36 on:** April 26, 2008, 19:46:40 PM »

Thank you can handle four Sharon?

She looks like a lamb

blackcat · « **Reply #35 on:** April 26, 2008, 19:40:46 PM »

Melissa is a seal point, not a blue. She is lovely though

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #34 on:** April 26, 2008, 19:37:45 PM »

This is Melissa!

Mark · « **Reply #33 on:** April 26, 2008, 18:10:44 PM »

Was she registered at the old man's address?

They said he was a bit of a recluse and didn't speak to anyone.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #32 on:** April 26, 2008, 17:52:48 PM »

Ahhh bless her .. Melissa what a lovely name, and so well traveled. I bet she is depressed ... 'mese's are are very sensitive souls.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #31 on:** April 26, 2008, 16:39:21 PM »

Update.. Puss has a chip.... Her name is Melissa and she is 9yr old ...she was born in USA moved and registered in Spain and then onto the UK.. She is a blue point..

Quite thin on her hunches but eyes, mouth and teeth okay, very subdued at the moment, maybe missing her companion...I am already smitten..!!

Gave her a chin rub and a good stroke and no hissing at all. She hasnt eaten anything yet, so we have left her in peace for a day or so.. Get her and hopefully the other tomorrow... Then i am sure they will be happier..

Mark · « **Reply #30 on:** April 26, 2008, 15:01:45 PM »

Not yet but I am on call if it gets caught. The poor lady only had the first cat in her house for an hour but she has bad asthma and had to take 3 pills. I know she struggles to breathe as I met her.

The first cat has been ID'd as seal point.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #29 on:** April 26, 2008, 12:21:49 PM »

Yeay, one down. Have you got the other yet?

Mark · « **Reply #28 on:** April 26, 2008, 11:25:56 AM »

Will phone you Sharon, why didn't you call me?

We are going to Canterbury today. If she can keep the cat today, I can pick it up and drop it off at Gillian's or Caroline's on the way back around 5 or 6pm?

Edit - some other people are doing this

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #27 on:** April 26, 2008, 10:23:13 AM »

Aww, good luck with them.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #26 on:** April 26, 2008, 10:20:02 AM »

What great news ... so pleased these two babies are OK and at least one is trapped. Fingers crossed it won't be long til the other one is in care. Well done everyone and good luck with sorting the transport.

blackcat · « **Reply #25 on:** April 26, 2008, 10:19:15 AM »

they do that!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #24 on:** April 26, 2008, 09:59:28 AM »

We now have a plan.. and will drop another trap of to see if we can catch the second. Sounds as though they are thin but not too poorly! On is making a lot of noise!

blackcat · « **Reply #23 on:** April 26, 2008, 09:45:23 AM »

yay! Great news! Best of luck sorting the transport and the second baby

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26, 2008, 09:44:17 AM »

We have caught one!! But i am having major trouble finding someone to pick it up as no one drives.. everyone is out and vets are not too keen having it in their care for a day or so.. due to the weekend.. The other puss is around but in the house... so we need to set the other trap asap...

One down..

Hopefull Gillian picks up her phone messages and knows about a cat coming to her this morning...

Oh my why does this always happen at weekends!!

Mark · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2008, 23:15:42 PM »

I have to go to Canterbury Council to get my parking permit on Monday. I can go alone or we can meet there?

If we take step ladder, I could get over the wall but I would want to make sure the women were there in case the police come along

Stuart · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2008, 22:25:39 PM »

keeping my fingers crossed !!!!!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #19 on:** April 25, 2008, 22:16:51 PM »

All good ponts but the vets i rang have a few people that live local that will keep and eye out.. Also the lady who rang us seems to be very reliable as she keeps in contact with us.. Not sure about the leaflet drop idea as its not a pleasant area of the city.. If no joy by mid week may take some time off and go and do some calling around... but i need some support from some other volunteers.. Just keeping fingers crossed on thse two..

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2008, 21:48:03 PM »

I see your point which is why I thought if you just kept it as a basic "lost" poster in the immediate area at least the neighbours can keep an eye out.

Mark · « **Reply #17 on:** April 25, 2008, 21:16:14 PM »

One of the problems is finding time - it's about 8 miles away + we have no pics. I'm not sure if it's a good idea letting people know there are 2 Siamese cats around for the picking

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2008, 20:31:34 PM »

Has anyone done a "lost" poster for these two. I would do a leaflet drop in the cul de sac just in case someone has taken them in already or if they are hiding in a neighbours garden. If they are normally allowed out the neighbours may not be aware they are now homeless as they will be used to seeing them wandering round.

Just an idea.

caledonia · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2008, 20:26:07 PM »

Oh I hope these little babes get found soon - they are probable terrified!!

Mark · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2008, 18:45:31 PM »

Yes, they are about 1 minutes walk from Maison Dieux vets - just opposite.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2008, 18:31:58 PM »

I also phoned the Local vets to them and they are going to put the word out as well..
