So my brother and I went for a wander again today and on the way went into the shop at the end of the road where one of the cats had been seen around the last couple of weeks. We asked if they had seen either of them recently only to be told something to the effect of "yeah there was a cat in the shop a couple of times. We called a cat shelter to come and get it but i cant remember which shelter it was and I dont have the number anymore. Was it yours?" Uh yeah thanks for nothin lady! Jeeze, I coulda hit the woman!! Ok so our cats dont have collars which they probably should but neither of them look even vaguely like they could be stray. Imagine calling someone to have them taken away. Why not just chase it out the shop?! So after much crying and panicing from me about what if hes been there for ages and someones taken him in etc etc we went home and phoned the vet and every cat shelter or charity we could find the numbers for. Every one of them said they hadnt had a cat matching the description but took our details and would keep an eye out. Anyway to cut a longer story short we just by luck happened to phone a place who emailed us a photo of a cat matching our description. It was one of our missing boys!! So we got the address of the place and went to get him once mum came home from work.
Oh but theres more....
Just after we had seen the photo of our cat and were phoning our parents yelling down the phone we found him!! With much happiness. Guess what happened....
Yip, the other one jumped through the living room window like he hadnt been missing forĀ weeks. If I hadnt been so god dammed happy to see him I might have killed him myself.
So after being missing for several weeks we got them both back in about half an hour of each other. So were taking them to the vet to be microchipped tomorrow which means if they ever go missing again anyone who finds them can scan the back of their necks and get all our details and hopefully phone us saying hey we have your cat. Although one of our other cats wont go anywhere near one of the boys and every time she does theres much growling and hissing. Which is making me feel bad for him.
