I have a visitor.

Whilst out cycling tonight, the Unfit Family was pootling along the quiet
lanes
of Norfolk when "Meeeeow!!" It ran out from the side of the road. A black
and
white cat. We are in the middle of relative nowhere. This is an adult cat
which
is very friendly. There are no houses about. "Meeeow!!! PPPPUUURRR!!!"
This is
one friendly cat, but what is it doing out here? A feral/farm cat would
not be
quite so affectionate with a total stranger. "Meeeeowww!" This large
short-haired black & white, yellow-eyed cat looks up at me, meows and I
see it
has something wrong with its mouth. Possibly some sort of ulcer or other
gum
problem. "Meeeeeow!" A car goes by - it runs back into the undergrowth.
When
the car has gone it comes out again. "MMMEEEOWWW!"

To cut a long story short, I now have an overnight visitor in the library.
One
which has now been sprayed with Frontline and one which has also wolfed
down
two full pouches of catfood.

I've rung PACT. Tomorrow I take the cat to the vet to be blood tested and
to go
to PACT. I've done some notices to go into local shops/vets to say a cat
has
been found, in an attempt to trace an owner - it may just be a cat that's
wandered a bit too far from home and ended up in the middle of the
countryside.

Presumably PACT will be able to scan for a microchip, I hope the cat is home
soon.
