Thank you everyone for your advice and in put.

I guess its natural to worry as to be Charlie is still a baby, but to himself he must be a hip and happening tom cat about town.

My mother (who is a cat person but not an 'animal' person if you know what I mean) keeps saying leave him be he knows where his food is so he will come back.

But he's my baby!

I shall have a go at cutting the apron strings tomorrow as I shall be home all day.
