Just a quick update on the vagrant cat that we’d been giving board and lodging to for the last two weeks.

The cat is apparently called “Jack”. The owner’s had seen one of the posters we’d left in one of the vets in the area, and had excitedly rang lostcatsbrighton.org.uk, who contacted us.

After a quick couple of phone calls, I drove Jack back round to his owners who live about a mile and a half away.

I’m so glad we have been able to reunite Jack with his owners, the pesky little tyke!

On Sunday we noticed a lovely long haired ginger tabby sunning itself in our garden, so we said hello to her, and didn’t think much else of it.

However, since then, we’ve not been able to get rid of her! On a night, she will circle the house, howling to be let in.

We relented (partly to get a good night’s sleep), unlocking the cat flap to let her come in and out at will.

Since then, she has just moved in, and will come and sleep on our bed at night. By day, she will laze around in our lounge or garden, with no apparent desire to be anywhere else.

We asked a few neighbours if they recognised her, but no-one does.

We have taken her to the vets to see if she is ‘chipped, but alas, she’s not.

She is such a friendly and mild mannered cat, and in good condition too (apart from a few fleas); I can’t believe that she’s just been abandoned.

Anyway, we’ve asked Ron of lostcatsbrighton.org.uk to post her in his “found” section, in the hope that her owners are searching for her.

Tonki is home again! He was found trapped between two internal walls on the second floor of a new house being built across the road from us.

The builders had heard/seen him on Friday (the third day of him being missing), but thought he would leave of his own accord. But he was trapped. One of the neighbours to the house became aware of this, and let Janet know. As soon as Janet called for him inside the house, he started wowling from between the walls. From outside, you just couldn’t hear him. Too well sound proofed… this being the reason why we hadnt already found him.

After a little effort, the builders managed to find a gap where they could get to him, and he is now happily sitting on the back of the sofa in the sun, a little skinnier, but basically in good health.

If you live in the Saltdean or surrounding areas and see a cat matching Tonki’s description, please leave a message here.
