Circumstances: Ginge was a stray boy who appeared in the garden in 2022. He has since established himself, spending most days sunbathing in the garden between meals. He has his own kennel but sometimes chooses to sleep elsewhere. He is very loving and behaves like a pet but having been a stray for so long he remains his own cat. He often wanders off early evening and then reappears later to sleep in his kennel or reappear the next morning. He never misses his breakfast! He left 9n Saturday and apart from a speculative viewing under the hedge on Sunday morning that cannot be confirmed, he has not been seen since. He is not a young cat, being at least ten by estimation. He is in Metacam each morning for arthritis which had been restricting his availing to climb and jump as well as making him stiff. He has been much better in the meds. He has recently had a fur drop which may well be the usual malting but his usually fluffy tail had thinned quite a lot. His behaviour was normal though and he was due a vet check up. Ginge is likely to be timid if approached by anyone he doesn’t know so it may be easier to get someone out from here if he is seen but will notreadily come to you. Ge may otherwise run off. We are very afraid he has gone to die or perhaps died in his sleep wherever his alternative and very secret to him other bed is situated. We have listed Ginge as healthy when last seen but please bear in mind the proviso mentioned. Ginge is registered at both Bicester Vets and Hilltop Vets in Oxford.
Other info: He currently has patches of fur on his back that are growing back in following some clipping by the vet several months ago.
