I wasn’t in this morning but The guy next door knocked and said to my wife “I think your cat is in my garage”.

He was laid behind a pile of stuff in there but came out when my wife went in and called him.

My neighbour has checked his garage several times. we didn’t realise the side door had a Gap at the bottom that Joe is likely to be able to squeeze through so whether he has recently moved into the garage or he has been using it as a base to explore I guess we’ll never know.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time standing In front of their garage door this past week to hear him in case he was in there but there’s be no sound.

So far he’s demolished some biscuits and half a tin of tuna fish :-) going to run him to the vets for a check over but he seems absolutely fine. Mind you, his sister is giving him some grief .. Hissing at him!
I just need to let the whole estate know now that he’s home!

He doesn’t look too concerned that he ruined my week off….

He’s back!!!!! :-)

:D

Sean conways just released his cycling around the world book. It’s on my ‘to buy’ list

Thanks … If he wasn’t an indoors cat I wouldn’t be so worried about him being away for a few nights.
As an indoor cat tho he doesn’t have his bearings… Would he find it more difficult to get back if he got too far away? I just don’t know.
Plus There’s other cats in the road so they’ll have their territories I’d assume … There’s 2 next door which could prevent him coming back ..
Feeling absolutely gutted right now. Again, appreciate the replies and clearly there’s more than just me and my family hoping for a safe return

Any news?

Thanks but Sadly no. Had a few phone calls of sightings of a black cat in the road but its turned out to be a smaller one thst lives around here. Still it’s nice to know people the note of the leaflets we have put through.

I’ve put more leaflets out today to a couple of streets further out.

His unwashed blanket is on the washing line, there’s food and litter in the garden but no sign of him whatsoever.

The first night I was sure he’d be back. Now not so .. The doubts are setting in :-(

Thanks for the good luck messages. Thanks for the link disco_stu .. I’ve put an ad on.
Nothing to report unfortunately.
I was out again last night, rattling his food tin, walking the neighbourhood with a torch. Checking the tree’s etc.
I left some litter in the back garden and some food on the bench in the front garden. That hasn’t been touched.
I initially thought he’d be close by. Now I’m fearing he’s gone too far to find his way back.

Any news yet?

Nothing so far. Just distributed leaflets to the surrounding houses asking them to check gardens , garages etc.

If he was going to appear I’d guess it would be during the evening / night time.

I take it the cat is chipped

Yes he is chipped.

I Appreciate the helpful responses.

Why do some people think its OK to keep a cat indoors ?

Why not start another thread .. I’m not particularly interested in peoples views about indoor cats

Two is a necessity … One doesn’t quite fill the bath or sofa

Really enjoy it.

Loads of riding on NYM … I’d say head to guisbrough forest or over to hamsterley

What Monde said.

Forerunner 235? It has built in HR on the back of the watch and will pick up your texts , calls, notifications etc from your phone

Thanks Scuttler.

Creg – the bike is in my parents spare room from when I moved house before Xmas … I’ll give it a once-over tmrw.
If you might be interested feel free to drop me a PM

Maybe £600 at a push, but probably a fair bit less than you were hoping I’m afraid.

I was thinking £250 ish so for once it’s more than i was expecting !

600 seems a stretch tho

It’s 18″. Chrome grey colour. I expected less given it needs some money spending on it and it’s age … And battle scars

I picked a halfords one up on eBay for £37 … Does the job. Might be worth a look

Looks lovely

Ive had a Fenix 3 for about 4 weeks now … Mainly because I wanted a GPS running watch with a long battery. My old Forerunner 10 just wouldn’t survive longer runs.
I must admit I’m loving the smart notifications from it and the activity tracker.
It’s such a nice watch I wear it every day.

No prob inbred456. Just curious.

Tillys home! Procedure went well. Implant came out without any issues. It was loose so that’ll explain some of the discomfort she must have been in.

We need her to start putting some weight on the leg but she is showing some encouraging signs already.

Got home and had her dinner so we’ll see how she goes.

Lost her tail and both hips had to be removed.

Out of interest was that done at Wear Referrals who were then based in bishop Auckland? I only ask because that’s who are looking after my dog

i asked a similar question… I got a Puky … No regrets

Wet wipes

I wonder has anyone got two boosters (rather than high back seats) in the outer seats with them pushed forward or back and an adult into the middle comfortably?

The rear rear seats don’t slide , the middle row does as you know.

I have a baby seat on both sides of my galaxy middle row and my wife can squeeze past them to sit in the middle seat in comfort.

Chocolate yazoo

So if he’s not sold on that type of bike, frame or group set then that’s a great choice

He isn’t – He asked for alternatives ..

But I take your point so let’s not dwell on it

If you are not massively fussed about 11sp and discs I’m Thinking of putting my Dolan Ares SL (SRAM Force) for sale :D

Pretty much the response i expected so thanks for that.
Yeah mt -it is a bit depressing!

Insurance.

Personally I wouldn’t do puppy pads .. It just teaches them to wee on the floor. Just keep taking them outside .. They get the message eventually

Yes particularly for trail running to take photographs. I use a flip belt.

Buy the car. When the DPF goes kaput get rid of it and then wish you’d done it sooner

Another vote for kanadia.

they drop the kids off then go shopping in Asda … Seen it many times.

Petplan

Well you’ve convinced me to give the Puky a try and Amazon are selling it for only £54 posted so job done.
Thanks

Just noticed the bike for aged 2+ has ‘soft foam tyres’ ….. Not sure I like the sound of them….
I wanted pneumatic tyres and they’re on the 3+ bike.

I like the 5 I really do but I will be honest with myself and say Im not fit enough or even a good enough rider to get the best out of it!

What an odd thing to say! Unless you get an E-Bike your next bike will still need pedalling!

Northwind has a point.

If she works weekends why not go down to see her after work?
Or Take a days holiday and go for a proper date through the week,

I’m sure if she was interested there must be a way of you both meeting up.
