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.”

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.

Re "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.

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.
