What is it with black cats going missing in Norfolk recently? My Deacon has always been an outdoor cat but the furthest he ever goes is the lady down the road who feeds the local feline population left over chicken and bits from the 20+ cats she has.

Well, last Wednesday he went out in the afternoon and he didn't come back until Friday and I was fretting about his safety. He is neutered and it's unheard of for him to be gone for extended period of time. So he comes in Friday, had some tuna and went off again 10 minutes later and only came back this morning. He isn't even reacting to being called now.

I don't like this behaviour! Is there anything I can do to stop him going off for so long? Short of keeping him in, I can't keep all windows and doors closed in this weather as I am sure you can all appreciate.

It's like he has forgotten us He was a bit off for a little while recently. Something not quite right but still eating and drinking so I wasn't too worried but he's like a totally different cat now. I think someone else has been trying to take him in. I don't know what to do!
