Sox!!!

[Naomi]

Well I think I've found Sox.

Saw a kitten exactly like him in the window of someone's flat this afternoon. I didn't knock the door or anythng cos I know they are old peoples flats. The cat was the spitting image of him and about the same size as Moli. If it was him, atleast he's in the warm.

[dinahsmum]

Wow!!!!!

...............................so what will you do? Dilemma...............

[yola]

Nae . . . if it is Soz; he's YOUR cat. And although someone might have taken him in thinking he's a stray you have every right to ask for him back. Thing is - how do you prove it's Sox???

Tricky one . . . .

[Kazz]

Okay if they are old people's flats ask the warden, I don'tthink given his age Iwould ask for him back I'd be happy he is content happy and most probably loved to death,But the choice is yours.

I think I'd check he's alright, will be kept forever and then leave it at that.

I'd do the same, get them to get his microchip re-assigned, and, if you want a second kit (I know you were thinking about it and the kids were asking) then I'd get one (another tom) mid-way through January, when the xmas excitement is over, you are back in routine, but Moli is still nice and young and will accept a playmate.

(PS - i would check that they want Sox, haven't just taken him to prevent him being on the street, but I expect he's loved to bits)

[EmmaG]

That will be a hard one... I think I would see that he is ok, and perhaps let him new owners take care of him. A similar thing happened to my cat Lucy another person a couple of doors down started to feed her and she lived by herself so her house was very quiet whereas ours wasn't and I think Lucy liked the tranquility, I decided that if Lucy wanted to live there I would pay for the lady's cat food (she was elderly) but Lucy decided to come back.

This could be awkward.....you say it is old people's flats, I think I would check how old the people are before you decide what to do. If it is Sox, remember that he has a good few years ahead of him, it would be awful if the person/s were unable to look after him in the near future:(

:( Oh yes - good point Mags. Mmmmm. Well you could offer to find them an older cat who needs a good home (through CP or something?) and try to get Sox back. Play the 'kids are crying, his sister is pining' card? Oh dear - your call :smt102

[Kazz]

Tell you what ask them if they want to swop one kitten for one "ancient" cat;) I can box up either of my two and send them over.:-D

Nasty person! (not)

[Mags]

Also..if and when you go to see them, take a pic of Sox and Moli together....it would make it easier for them to realise he belonged to someone else....

[dinahsmum]

He's microchipped if there was any ownership issue Mags. But I think it's a 'what's best?' situation rather than a 'what's the law' one.

[Kazz]

I think as he's a kitten and much loved by Nae and her family. If he is loved and happy there I would say let him stay - but its your call, but cats do move and maybe with the best will in the world. He will go back there. Your call though.

The offer of an older dignified cat still stands;)

[Mags]

I just thought that by seeing a pic of him with his sister it might be easier for them to hand him back if Nae wanted him.....

[Naomi]

Kazz can i have the older dignified cat :lol:

If it is Sox I'd rather he stay where he was. Moli is in a nice routine and is enjoying herself and the kids are used to only having one kitten around.

[Kazz]

Course you can. Take your choice there is a pictue of both of them in pictures section. :-D

I can package your choice and he/she will be with you by the millenium.

[CathyW]

Moli is in a nice routine and is enjoying herself and the kids are used to only having one kitten around.u can have barnaby,wont say hes dignified hes got some nasty habits,claws u to bits/wont cover his litter deposits :? u cant pick him up.but looks pretty sitting on a window sill (makes a good ornament LOL)

[Naomi]

Ooo now that's tempting :lol:

[borderdawn]

I'm very glad he is safe, I would have to have him back though if he were mine, couldnt bare the thought of somebody nicking my moggy!
Dawn

[Donna]

So have you decided what to do?

If it was one of mine missing I would want them back cos I would be so sad not having them.

[CathyW]

Ooo now that's tempting :lol:u think im joking ?? im not.he dont like living ina flat he want s to go out n meet other kittys :D

[Fran]

I'm afraid if it was me I would have to have him back and if the people who have him really want a cat/kitten then I would offer to help find them one of their own...but that's just me...

[Mags]

That was my thoughts too Fran:(

[Moli]

I couldn't leave him there either.....

[Naomi]

I did think about leaving him there but the more I think about it the more I'm not so sure :?

Like I said I think it's Sox. I'd have to go just to satisfy my own curiosity.

I know I would have to go Nae...take a piccie of Sox with you to compare. I hope it is him no matter what happens as at least you know then that he is safe and well........

[borderdawn]

You will know when you see him if it is Sox, I hope it all ends well for you.

I think she will know too Dawn but the photo is proof if these people quibble :?

[Naomi]

I'll take a trip tomorrow to the flats whilst the kids are in school. That way if it isn't Sox they won't be so disappointed

[Donna]

Please let us know when you go, if it is Sox, and what you are going to do. Want a happy ending to this sad tale!!

[Jeanette]

Ooh Nae..

I would have to go and check. If for nothing else, just to make sure it is Sox.. So you dont wander about for ever wondering where he is, if he's dead or alive...

I cant wait to read the update tomoz:-)

[Fran]

I can't wait for an update tomorrow too Nae....good luck!

[Naomi]

Just been to the flat to see if it's Sox but it isn't :(

His face markings are the same but the markings on his back are diferent and this cat doesn't have the distinctive 3 white rings around his black tail.

Ah well

[samwise]

Just read the whole thread with a smile on my face! How disappointing! You must have really gotten your hopes up, poor thing!

[Naomi]

I'm glad I didn't say anything to the kids they would have been really gutted bless 'em

[dinahsmum]

Awwww darn!
It would have been so nice to know..............
I still think he's in a home somewhere - you would have found him otherwise.

[Jeanette]

Oh no:-(

I'm glad you didnt mention anything to the kids...

[Mags]

Aww that's a shame Nae....if only to know he was safe.....

[Naomi]

Well my neighbours are still keeping an eye out for me and keep asking me if he's returned yet.

[yola]

What a shame.

[Fran]

What a shame Nae :( But at least you have satisfied yourself that it isn't him...

[CathyW]

i think hes found himself a new home

[Jac]

I was hopeing it would be him, for your peace of mind. He may stil turn up in a window. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your family.

[Donna]

Sorry to hear it wasnt him, but never give up.

[borderdawn]

Never mind, keep hoping.
Dawn.
