That cat WILL be chipped. Take it to the local vet. Either someone has already notified them of the missing cat or the vet can scan the chip and identify the owner that way.

Damn I missed out on some profit there! I wonder how well a cat rustling career would go. I think I like cats too much to kidnap them

I realise it turned out not to be the missing cat, but it's very disappointing the amount of users (including a don!) who just told the OP to get rid of it. I wonder if they would have reacted the same if the OP had found Madeleine McCann...

BIN IT!

It's a cat, it will find it's way home...

Oh no, reminds me of that thread a while back where the geezer put someone's cat in a bin bag and deposited it far away on a random field

Well that's dinner sorted then...

At the time people were advising that it was thought to be the missing cat, which obviously cannot find it's way home >.>

You're just jealous you don't have free rent and an on-call chef/cleaner.

My guess is they wouldn't because Madeleine McCann is a human child and this was a cat.

Is that necessarily a bad thing or were you just curious?

Take it to a vet and see if its chipped.

It walked in a house, cats do that... It's not lost it's being nosey.

they took the posters down because the cat returned!
and now the op has essentially kidnapped it.
wait a few days and they will put new posters up at which point you can explain to them you've had the cat all this time and are the reason it has gone missing again.

YES ARKNOR

I'm a bit upset the OP hasn't been out on his bike yet in search of kitteh.

Is the horse still there? That thread drew to an abrupt close

What an excellent thread.
"Eat it" wasn't funny the first time - so no real need for a second post echoing the same.
"Sell it" may have raised a grin from someone I'm sure - but again, once said, all impact lost.
The innuendo was funny......when I was about 14 and again, in small doses.

But there OcUK GD at it's best I guess.

A few weeks ago a lost cat sign went on the lamposts on the street. Today I leave the back door open and it casually wanders inside my house!

It keeps meowing and 'sad sounding meows'. It is walking around and jumping onto the window sill fine so I dont think it is hurt. But it think it wants something. I think it wants to go outside but I don't really want to let it as it might get lost again!

Has it stayed or gone? I'd see if it was chipped and if not see if it wanted to stay.
