Mackerel is missing AGAIN!!!

[janey83]

Hi all,

I need all your good vibes.

My brothers cat Mackerel has gone missing again... He hasn't been see since Thursday 9th July (5 days) :(

My bro and his gf are really worried and go out looking for him every night like they did last time but no luck!

Last time he was gone for 2 days and came back with a really bad bite on his leg.

He is a softy and is always gettin beaten up by other cats/dogs!

I hope he is ok and comes home soon.

[dinahsmum]

I really hope so too Jane

[Leesy]

So sorry to hear that Mackeral has gone missing again:cry: , I do hope he comes home soon.
Sending lets of come home vibes your way for his safe return.

[angieh]

Sorry to hear he's gone again...... positive vibes for his safe return home.

[John]

I hope Mackeral comes home soon..it is heartbreaking when you dont know what has happened to them..

[pookyandjo]

hope he's home soon Jane and hasn't got into any trouble....Come home Mackeral!

[janey83]

Thanks guys... He still isnt back.
My brother keeps going out looking for him when he gets home from work.

Cats should have built in webcams so we can see where they get to!

[dandysmom]

Oh dear, sorry he's still AWOL. It's the not knowing that's so bad ........

[Elaine]

I hope Mackeral comes home soon and is well.
I assume your brother has asked people to check their sheds and garages etc?

[calismum]

Hope you get news soon.

[janey83]

My brother phoned before and said He's put up posters and has phoned around all the local vets but nothing.

Then yesterday a woman rang him and said her daughter saw a ginger cat run across the main road and get knocked down, then there was a crowd of people around the cat but she doesn't know what happened next whether they just left it or what. My Bro is gonna ring the council soon and see if they can help (I highly doubt it!) The cat had white feet like Mackerel but had no collar on, Mackerel had lost about 10 collars in 5 months, so I don't know.

But the cat got knocked down on Monday 13th, Mackerel went missing on Thursday 9th... :( :(

[angieh]

Oh I hope not Janey. Poor cat, whether or not it was Mackerel. But I hope your brother can find out one way or the other.

[dandysmom]

Oh Janey I hope it wasn't Mackerel also..... fingers still crossed.

[dinahsmum]

Oh Janey - I hope he gets word one way or the other very soon.

[Gumby Cat]

Oh dear Janey, I do that poor ginger cat wasn't Mackerel and that he turns up again soon, it's so worrying when they go missing isn't it?

[janey83]

Oh dear Janey, I do that poor ginger cat wasn't Mackerel and that he turns up again soon, it's so worrying when they go missing isn't it?


Yeah it is. When my brother hears the cat flap going he jumps up and is sort of disappointed as its not Mackerel but Tiddles! Not that they dont love Tiddles but they just want Mackerel back, its been a week now.

[dandysmom]

Miracles do happen, look at Chester and Maxwell!

[yola]

Jane - so sorry to be reading this so late. I hope Mackerel is found soon, and safe and healthy with it!

Did you brother go to where the cat was hit? Did he look around for any clues as to whether it was Mackerel or not? If it were me I think I'd like to know one way or the other just for some peace of mind.

[dandysmom]

I do so agree with that; if it is bad news, well, that's awful, but at least you have closure. To this day I don't know what happened to my childhood cat, or to Onyx ......

[janey83]

Yeah he went and had a look but there was nothing. There was a shop on a corner where it happened but they dont know anything.

I cant really see that cat being Mackerel as Mackerel is so scared of cars and loud noises (he runs a mile when the door bell rings)

It was a year ago Mackerels brother got killed by a car (over in Ireland where he lived)

Its horrible not knowing as you say its better knowing whats happened so we can grieve and move on if anything terrible has happened to him.:(

[janey83]

UPDATE

Mackerel has just come back home, about 15 mins ago!
My brother says he's quite thin but he's all over them and purring. He's scoffed down Tiddles food, he must of been starvin.

Cant believe they are both back! They must of either been trapped in somewhere or someones had them and when they have received the posters my brother made they knew they belonged to someone and let them go!

Im so glad they are back and ok.

P.s Mackerel still has his collar on lol.
:D :D :D

[Moli]

Fantastic news, so pleased they are home safe............

[dandysmom]

Wonderful!!! A happy ending......

[angieh]

That's very good news. Hope both little cats stay put at home for a good long while. What a relief for you and your brother and gf. (and for us too!)

[Mags]

Fantastic news ........what a relief they are both home safe and sound...:D

[kado]

Brilliant news. I keep checking to see if he has been found i am so glad that he has. I bet he has a tale to tell.

[Elaine]

So relieved that both are back safe and sound xxx

[dinahsmum]

What a pair of adventurers!
Are they microchipped? I think it would be well worth the investment (maximum of about a tenner each?) for a little peace of mind
I'm so glad foryour brother Janey - he must be so chuffed

[yola]

Result!!! So relieved to be reading both fluffs are home and safe. DM's idea about the microchip is a good one (makes mental note to self too :roll: ).

[Gumby Cat]

That's great news, what a relief!
