Missing Cats
In 2021, two of our three cats moved out of our home. We had been in our current home for 1 year, and asked a neighbour to feed our three cats while we went on a family holiday. When we arrived home, our remaining cat had anxiety (which was new for him) and our other two cats had left. We searched and searched, but we did also keep hoping that they might return. We adore our cats and had hand raised two of them from kittens, whom were born in our home.
However, we are now feeling grief and despair. Our best hopes that our Artie (5yr old tabby) and Sherlock (8 yr old ginger and white) would come home have not come true.
Our 15 yr old is still devastated and has now mounted a Community Wide Search. Posters are going up around the neighbourhood, and we are offering a Cash Reward.
Our 15 year old would be ecstatic to have the cat-babies returned. Our existing cat, Polly, still has anxiety. He relied on the other two, and he just hasn't ever returned to his perky, silly self. We may need to medicate him for his anxiety. Or! How wonderful it would be if our Cat friends could be located.
Sherlock is nearly 8, and he is a heart-melting ginger and white fella who is adept at finding willing cat-devotees. His style is to find several homes that adore him: and he lives in each of them. Simultaneously. He has done this in the past, and may be doing this now.
Polly, the black cat, is still our cat. The cats who are missing are Sherlock (ginger and white) and Artie (brown tabby with a grey tabby tail.)

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
