i live in essex, i will go looking for my local cat protection now so i have all the details, then tonight i will attempt to see if any of my neighbours have contact details for the family. I will make sure the cat has fresh water and some food tonight (thankfully weather is ok at the moment).if i need to catch him tomorrow then i will and see how he gets on with my little one.
thanks guys and i'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow
