Thank you! I feel so guilty letting them down, but as you're cleaning one pen and the cat has a little walkabout, there's another 8 cats crying to come out! It's just awful! There's not really time to cuddle them either, cos there's so much work to do. The owner put a notice in the Job Center the other day, so hopefully, someone will come along who's not as daft as me!

As for GB

Here's hoping!

Aw Shirley!

We will have to believe that Mr Elusive is a perfect fender for himself.....I do believe this to be of his own choice now and hope he has made friends elsewhere!

Sorry to hear the cattery never worked out for you....I understand and would be absolutely the same!

Shirley · « **Reply #63 on:** October 09, 2009, 13:46:00 PM »

LOL l Basmum-again! No calls, not even from 'the text maniac'. GB seems to have really disappeared this time-it's been 7 weeks now

I just hope he's found a 'friend' or two or, better still, a person to look after him!

Things ok here, my beautiful Ollie still no trouble, i'm still out of work and enjoying the rest (but not the lack of money!)
Had a volunteering job at a local cattery-only went 3 times-but given it up today! Can't stand to see them in the pens, even tho i know the alternative's a 100 times worse, i was an emotional mess!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #62 on:** October 09, 2009, 13:20:35 PM »

I bet you would have loads of calls if you did put the perv posters up lol!

Thinking of you and GB Shirley....hope all is good at your end!

Shirley · « **Reply #61 on:** October 06, 2009, 07:52:48 AM »

I think you're right, Trigger!

How's Tosker doing?

Yeah i had noticed, Baz lol

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #60 on:** October 06, 2009, 00:05:10 AM »

I think you need to put up a few posters about Mr Perv

Bazsmum · « **Reply #59 on:** October 05, 2009, 23:59:12 PM »

Just me Shirley, I have a mad sense of humour if you had'nt noticed already!

Sorry you never seen GB today, sound more suss now the way you have described his house and area!

Shirley · « **Reply #58 on:** October 05, 2009, 17:55:33 PM »

LOL Baz, it must be a laugh a minute in your house!

Another wasted trip (and i got lost on the way back!!!!!) Went with Paul to pervy's street and there's no way GB would be there! There's about 100 houses between there and where he went missing from- surely he'd find one before his to feed him, especially as Mr Perv wasn't! There are no woods around either for him to hide in-plenty everywhere else tho'.
We put more fliers in the houses across the other side of the pool and went back to the grassed area where Mr CDS has poss seen him twice, but nothing at all!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #57 on:** October 05, 2009, 15:29:31 PM »

"If you go down to the woods today your in for a big suprise"

But seriously....I do hope you at least get a sighting of GB!

Shirley · « **Reply #56 on:** October 05, 2009, 07:55:50 AM »

LMAO and

I'm hoping he'll be at work lol !

Bazsmum · « **Reply #55 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:10:57 AM »

Good luck for today if you do go over.....I would still take someone with you though, that bloke may think your whistling at him!

Shirley · « **Reply #54 on:** October 04, 2009, 18:22:43 PM »

LMAO Bazmum!

Still thinking of going over tomorrow, tho'-not to the house itself, just the area-for a whistle! x

Bazsmum · « **Reply #53 on:** October 04, 2009, 18:09:45 PM »

Oh heavens....He sounds like a right text maniac!

Shirley · « **Reply #52 on:** October 04, 2009, 17:01:00 PM »

:rofl If you'd seen the texts........................

Thanks again x

Bazsmum · « **Reply #51 on:** October 04, 2009, 15:52:59 PM »

You would be suprised sometimes at how close our lost furbabes can be.....

Glad he has now given you the address Shirley, you never know....he could be as wary of you as you are of him!

Good Luck again! x

Shirley · « **Reply #50 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:28:30 PM »

Hi again-funnily enough, i asked him if he was close to the area and he texted his address!! According to aa route planner, it's only about 3 minutes away! I will still have to go there if he catches him, cos he won't go to Mr CDS, but will be taking 'hubby' and a cage from Cramar with me lol!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #49 on:** October 04, 2009, 13:31:31 PM »

Glad you passed this over to the CD's Shirley, does sound a bit weird to me as surely you would not mind giving the exact location?!

That this is GB and you get some positive news on him very soon!

Janeyk · « **Reply #48 on:** October 04, 2009, 12:43:42 PM »

glad that you're being cautious

Shirley · « **Reply #47 on:** October 04, 2009, 12:19:54 PM »

Hi Jane, i texted him this morning (can't afford to ring on pay as you go lol) and from the replies i got, i DO need to be careful, if you know what i mean!!!!!! He says he has seen him, but i've given his number to the CDS's who will take food and bowls to him!

Janeyk · « **Reply #46 on:** October 04, 2009, 09:31:20 AM »

I do hope its him, but as your friend says just be careful

Shirley · « **Reply #45 on:** October 04, 2009, 08:23:17 AM »

Hi all, i had a call on Friday (as a result of the newspaper ad) from a man who says he's seen a grey cat in his garden a couple of times, and as we spoke, the cat appeared and sat on the fence!! He said he gets a lot of cats in his garden, even tho' he's not 'an animal person'! Has a lot of trees and bushes. He says he's near to Lodge Park, but i didn't catch the area! I asked him if he would start feeding him in his shed and he will (tho he's got no food at the mo!) If he catches him, i'll go over with Janet and a cage, if only to identify him!
He wouldn't give me his address tho-says 'you've got my phone number now' He was going to try to get a pic of him and send, but didn't.
Janet says to be careful and , if he rings back, keep mentioning 'my husband' lol
Fingers crossed!

Shirley · « **Reply #44 on:** September 30, 2009, 20:29:34 PM »

Awww Tosker wants some friends, how sweet!

Jane, sounds good if they look out for each other.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #43 on:** September 30, 2009, 18:58:44 PM »

Ive also noticed that in households cats may not get on through territory issues, on the outside unless fighting for a female this does not occur as often!

Thanks Jane, i rather hope he stays on his own and ends up like Tosker, but with a group would be better than nothing i suppose!

Well actually ours are a large group but tend to visit in pairs but they all look out for each other and get on really well

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #41 on:** September 30, 2009, 18:35:57 PM »

as far as Tosker's concerned, he is part of a group of three - unfortunately for him the other two are quite happy to remain a group of two

but he's wearing them down by following them everywhere - only my lap is safe for them still

Janeyk · « **Reply #39 on:** September 30, 2009, 17:47:17 PM »

I agree with Baz Shirley, cats will find food and as I've seen myself ferals are very good at seeking out other ferals and latching on to them or finding where they are getting fed

I can understand your worry though

Shirley · « **Reply #38 on:** September 30, 2009, 17:41:05 PM »

Have to say i haven't worried about him as much this time, as i know he CAN survive on his own, but now the weather's turning colder........

When he went missing for 5 weeks at the end of May (and was being fed by Penny across the road!) i was making myself ill-i already felt bad after taking him to Cramar and realising he wasn't going to settle, i was a wreck, crying all the time, but i've told myself i've done everything i possibly can to give him a good life and to try and find him, and can only hope all the publicity produces a good ending. I'll never forget about him tho'.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #37 on:** September 30, 2009, 16:55:03 PM »

....And I bet you have not had much sleep in near 6 months either!

This boy is certainly a wild one in the sense he loves the outdoors!

Im sure he has learned to search out some food, while searching for one of mine earlier (a couple of months ago) I came across loads of cats and they always seem to congregate together or follow the same food source path at least! Im sure he is fine where ever he may be....

Shirley · « **Reply #36 on:** September 30, 2009, 16:34:57 PM »

Thanks again Bazsmum! Forgot to say i spoke to 2 radio stations and they don't mention lost cats!

Six months today i took him to Cramar......................................!!!!!!!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #35 on:** September 30, 2009, 15:54:46 PM »

Glad he is getting more publicity.....So hope he turns up Shirley.....Wishing you some good news very soon!

Shirley · « **Reply #34 on:** September 30, 2009, 15:53:05 PM »

He will be in the Lost and Found section of the local paper on Friday, and someone on Catchat has put him on all sorts of thing like Facebook groups etc! Oh to be computer literate lol!

Shirley · « **Reply #33 on:** September 28, 2009, 20:56:34 PM »

LOL Trigger! I hope you're right-if he turns up at someone's house, they won't be able to resist him!

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #32 on:** September 28, 2009, 19:47:08 PM »

I think you're right, Shirley

he's chosen his way of life, it seems, and he is at least now in the sort of area where he might well find somewhere to shelter and be fed if he wants it

you have tried so hard, but it looks as if the B of GB stands for

after all

Shirley · « **Reply #31 on:** September 28, 2009, 19:19:44 PM »

"Dont you think he is famous enough" Lol Bazsmum!

Another day of not seeing him-we went twice to the area he's been 'spotted', but all we saw was a few pigeon feathers! Mrs CDS was driving towards her house as we got there and pulled over-she's almost sure it's him cos of his long, thin tail! Then she asked the 64 million dollar question-"how do we catch him if we see him?" Mmmmmmmm!

We used a lot of the fliers and put up a poster in the local Tesco at the end of the estate. I also went into the vets-opposite Tesco-and they took his details!

I think i've now done everything i possibly can, being so far away, so i just hope someone will ring to say they're feeding him and he'll settle there!

I've emailed the local newspaper and radio station, so, hopefully, GB will get a mention!

Dont you think he is famous enough!

Good idea and lets just hope it gets a mention!

More positive vibes being sent to help with your search!

Thanks Bazsmum! I AM going tomorrow!

Wow! Your gonna be busy Shirley!

Shame that wasnt GB that was spotted by them nice folks, but good to know that you now have more than one pair of eyes on your search! Best of luck and keep up the good work!

Shirley · « **Reply #27 on:** September 27, 2009, 08:19:23 AM »

Hi all, i now have nearly 200 fliers!!!!! Hope there's not THAT many houses lol! Hoping to go tomorrow.
I had a call on Fri night, in response to my fliers, from a lovely, cat-mad lady who's daughter had seen a grey cat, but with a collar. They will keep looking-i emailed her a pic of him.
I got in touch with the CDS's just in case they HAD put a collar on him, but no. His wife had seen a grey cat in the same area as they'd seen 'him' last Friday, so they will concentrate there!

Shirley · « **Reply #26 on:** September 24, 2009, 07:31:06 AM »

Hi Bazsmum, the posters we'd put up last week WERE laminated, but they were deliberatly taken down-the drawing pins are still there!!!!!! Funny you should say that about a poster in a shop-Paul's dad suggested the same thing when we got back! There are a few shops at the end of the estate, which i assume most people would use. Paul's son is going to print off some 'proper' fliers for me today!
Thanks for the support again! x
