Mystery of missing Micklefield moggies

A MICKLEFIELD pet owner is growing increasingly concerned after several cats mysteriously disappeared, including her own beloved four legged friend.

The mum-of-one, who did not wish to be named, said she knew of four moggies which had gone missing from the Micklefield area in the last few weeks.

Her three-year-old cat Tiggy, who disappeared on September 27, is among them.

She said: “I have been door to door and I phoned all the rescue places, even the council. Nobody's seen my cat, he's just disappeared.”

Tiggy, a ginger and white tabby, is microchipped and has never gone missing before. His disappearance is not only upsetting his owner, but also his playmate Leo, a black five-year-old tabby.

The 48-year-old mum, who lives off London Road, said: “If Tiggy's gone out at night, first thing in the morning he's back by the window. I have got no idea what's happened, it's just so unlike him to just disappear.

"It's like grieving but you can't grieve. You can never move on because I don't know what happened to him.

“Leo's suddenly not eating, he's looking around making noises. They used to play together.”

She added: “Four cats gone missing, it just seems funny.”

As the owner of 3 beloved cats I feel so sorry for this poor woman, I'd far prefer to know what's happened even if it's bad news than to always be wondering.

However, I do wonder why people let their cats out at night? It's statistically proven that more cats go missing during the hours of darkness than during the day.

Usual cat haters on here again. I do agree that cats are safer indoors nowdays. We keep our two indoors. The main dangers arent traffic or other animals anymore but sick youths and enraged garden proud people. I honestly believe that if you hurt a cat/dog then you have the potential to hurt a child.

Not wanting cat mess in your garden doesnt make ANYONE a "enraged garden proud person" for goodness sake!

I agree. It's a health and hygiene hazard - and especially dangerous to pregnant women.

Re "I honestly believe that if you hurt a cat/dog then you have the potential to hurt a child."
I think that statments belittles the seriousness of child abuse. Sure, hurting animals is very wrong and I wouldn't ever condone it, but attacking a stranger's pet and assaulting or neglecting your own child or step child (and most child abuse is within families) is a different matter.

No it is not!
The point it if you are capable of hurting any living creature then yes you are more than capable of hurting a child. Sorry to me it is one and the same... it shows a degree of callousness anfd cruelty that transcends rational thought. Today kick the cat... tomorrow kick the child ....
