NOT such an unusual tail – Cat on the loose Please help me find my way home. Me, Cookie and pal Max were obliged to up-sticks, or paws in our case, when our owners decided to move from Throop to Cowper Road, Moordown, near Bournemouth.

Now the problem is me, Cookie. I’m a three year old neutered male tabby, with white on my lower face.

Having spent my first week in my new abode, cooped up, I decided to take a shuffty outside, when an outer door was left ajar – oops, bad mistake.

Too many directions for choice, the result is, I’ve lost myself and I’m really sad, paw weary and very hungry.

Should you see me, please advise Cat Protection League on 01202 594564 or 01202 267362.

I have a blue collar with silver bell and fish-tag ID. My meow, meow thanks would be heard for streets around, and I’m certain my owners have put picture posters up everywhere.

A sorry tail indeed.

CAROLE WILLIAMS, neighbour of owner
