He's HOME!

He's a very, very spooked little boy and very jumpy, but we (as in my
brother and I) eventually found HRFL under the brambles in the lane at
the back of my house unharmed although shaken.

As a black cat, Thank Bast I had the sense to put a reflective collar on
him, as it was the reflection being picked up by my torch that enabled
us to see him huddled under the bush. There is no way we would have
spotted him otherwise as it was very dark we'd already looked in that
spot twice. I had even gone as far as contacting the 24 hour emergency
vet on the corner of my street as there is a busy road not that far away
that has claimed a few local feline lives.

I didn't know whether to yell at HRFL for being so stupid or give him a
big cuddle. The cuddle and kisses won. ;o)

Thanks for the purrs - They helped very much.

The little sh*t and his ******* cat tricks will be the death of me yet.

Lucky cat I can't wait till they get the next generation of the gps
tracker collars made for felines. It would be worth the $20 bucks a month
for it.


A hug for him , a swift kick in the butt for him than he be locked in a
room for the night till my nerves calmed down.

I am glad he is home Helen I know how you feel about no being able to find
them

The minute I have the money, my guys are getting radio collars. They
cost about £120 each and the unit is about £300. It's worth it for peace
of mind! ;O)

They won't be able to lift their little heads off the ground! ;-)) Is
that going to be the jaguar model or the margay model??

So pleased to hear you found him, not far away and only frightened.

It'll be the domestic cat/margay size, although HRFL *WILL* insist that
I get the Siberian Tiger model! ;o)

Tangent: did you see the *gorgeous* snow leopards on Planet Earth?

When we were at the vet yesterday, they had the radio collars on display. I
think it was $99 for the collar and $199 for the tracking unit. Too much to
afford and besides I have very poor luck with keeping a collar on a cat.
But affordable enough to make one feel very guilty if a dog or cat goes
missing.

I've known a few dogs who would make the thing a very good investment. One
is the Border Collie next door who does not understand the concept of coming
when he is called. And my brother used to have a Husky who really liked to
go for unsupervised runs.

Wouldn't RFID chips work, and be much less expensive?

HOORAY!!! What a relief! Poor boy, I hope this teaches him that the Big
Out isn't all it's cracked up to be.
