Name:	Minstrel
Breed & Species:	Moggy (short haired) cat
Colour:	Tabby
Went missing:	16 years ago (20 August 2009 at around 10:00 PMhrs)
Location:	Flatford Pl, Kidlington, Oxfordshire OX5 1, UK
Health:	Healthy
Age:	18 years old
Sex:	Neutered Male
Collar:	Blue
Microchipped:	No
Markings:	No
Circumstances:	We had been away on holiday for a week and during our absence Minstrel was excellently cared for by a neighbour. He was seen/ate his food every day up to and including Thursday morning. We returned home Thursday midday and oddly (given that we subsequently learnt he was around the area later that day) did not come home when we called. He usually does. He was last seen on the field next to our house at 10.30 pm by neighbours. Again, odd that he did no come home in response to our calling. On the Friday it rained very heavily from about 10.30 to 1pm and our fear is that he might have jumped into an open van as he hates getting wet. He does not usually jump into cars and vans, though. Another thought is that he might be avoiding us because we left him but I doubt this as we've been away lots before and he's always been overjoyed to see us back, no sulking at all.
Other info:	A cat-flap magnet on collar.
