This morning we let our newest cat out for the first time.
He's a stray who turned up six weeks ago in an awful state - skin and bones, starving, bedraggled and un-nuttered.
Four weeks ago we caught him,took him to the vets where he was vaccinated, neutered and treated for various ailments. We did check he wasn't chipped, and no one local claimed him, someone thought he may have been turfed out of a car. We're very rural so he may have been a farm cat who took off.
On the vets advice he was kept in to recover. Today he had the all clear and was let out.
He had a meander round the garden, interacted with the other cats and then buggered off - I think he went across a field.
We haven't seen hide nor hair of him since about 11am.
He's used to being fed at 4pm so I assumed he'd come back for that but he hasn't.
I know it's too soon to worry but I hope he comes back - DH said he might have gone looking for his previous home.
I hope he's just enjoying his freedom, but I wish he'd pop back home to reassure me!
