The Wanderer Returns
Well despite my worst fears my cat came back. He escaped from my in-laws on the 1st of September and was finally captured by a lovely couple about 1/4 mile away yesterday. 30 days after his escape!
He has lost a lot of weight and as I type this I am waiting for an appointment at the vets to get him checked over. I spoke to a lovely lady at the cats protection league who said that the is some risk that he may develop some liver damage from the rapid weight loss so it's best to get him checked out ASAP.
I must admit that it had reached the point where I thought we had lost him for good, especially as I had found the remains of a dead cat not long after he went missing and very close to where he escaped from. In fact he was found alive only one feild away from where I found the dead cat!
So the relief I'm feeling is absolute, and next time I go away, the cat is staying at home with a cat-sitter!
