Words cannot describe the sheer elation we feel right now. Random cat has been found and safely relocated back here.
About 20:15 this evening, we had a phonecall from the vet to say that Random had been spotted in their car park and that they would try and keep his attention until we could get there. I have never cycled 5 miles quite so fast in my life. By the time we got down there, they had managed to trap him and he was in one of their cages.
I asked the vet to scan for RFID tags; he has none. Not that this necessarily means he’s homeless, but it’s unusual for a cat not to be chipped.
We then had the problem of how to get a cat home on a bicycle, but luckily Phil’s friend Paul drove us home, with Random yelling all the way.
I feel very very lucky right now.
Random Cat has eaten more food, purred and been stroked (so he doesn’t hate me, at least) and is now wandering the streets of Holyport. We were going to keep him in, but he was so distressed at being captive, that we thought it best to leave him outside, where he is happy.

awww, excellent news that. is it truly unusual for a cat to be chipless? i’d no idea chipping had become so pervasive for felines. mine isn’t.
incidentally, i believe i’ve landed a client whose project will require me to spend a few days in munich and a few in an undisclosed location in the u.k. i’ll let you know what comes of it, should i be fated to spend some time in albion.
I’m so glad you got him back. Cats have this wonderul tendency to work things out for themselves often.
