Circumstances:	He went out at 8.00pm through his cat flap after eating some food. I called to him at 9.00pm and 10.00pm but he was nowhere to be seen in the garden or in the neighbours' gardens. He had not returned by the following morning. His collar and tag containing his name and my phone number was found in a garden in Whitehouse Lane a approximately 150 metres to the south of our home. The collar and tag was returned to me on the evening of January 20th.
