Circumstances:	Merlin was returned to us early in July after being missing for 8 years! We spent 3 weeks carefully reintroducing him to our home and to his sister. This was going well so we started some short visits to the garden. On the last of these he suddenly raced off into other neighbouring gardens for no obvious reason, and couldn't be seen. He almost certainly doesn't remember the neighbourhood. He may have tried to find his last known home which we believe was in Marston, about 1km away. He was wearing a red collar with name and phone number on tag. Merlin loves people and is very affectionate, but over-adventurous!
Other info:	Burmilla. Outer coat is black and dark brown; white underneath. Has a small white patch on throat.
