Haribo is missing

I never thought I would post here but my lovely 10 month old cat has gone missing. I last saw him yesterday at 2pm when I came in from work and he shot off. I've done all the necessary but I am petrified that he has become a victim to foxes.

My last but one cat was found dead with his ribcage ripped open and I've tortured myself for years that he wasn't involved in a rtc and then the foxes got him but he ended his life being ripped apart by them.

It took me 3 years after Troy died from Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy to let another animal into my life and now this has happened. I am beside myself.

This is Haribo 2 days ago.

So pleased you’ve got him back! I second Fluffy on cat proofing the garden. It’s so much safer for them.

I'd phoned the Police in desperation about trespassing and the aggressive neighbour. A lovely woman said they couldn't help us getting Haribo but could help if the neighbour became aggressive and told us what to do. My partner and brother in law got into the garden via our neighbours using a step ladder. The neighbour had some spare keys for them to try in the lock. One of the keys opened the door. With that the owner who didn't answer previously came out and said "cat in the shed?" The Police had telephoned him about what we were going to do and he told him that was fine. The Police rang me back and she was so pleased he was found.

He seems fine, has eaten a little bit. He's sparkling white as he'd washed himself in boredom. He does have a habit of rolling around and digging in compost and dirt so when he goes out, on his harness and lead, he can dig in my veg beds to his heart's content.

We can now sleep and eat again.

Thank you all for your support and positivity. I love The Litter Tray.

I'm so glad, I hope he's okay now. He is lucky to have an owner who loves him as much as you do.
