Pussy or pudding has owned us for a long time. She is very affectionate when she knows you. She talks to you. She is a creature of habit and came home at 9.30 every evening so we knew immediately she had gone.

We have a chicken farmer next door and we have complained about the smell to the council and he has been served with an abatement order.

My daughter said a few weeks before she went missing that she hoped he would not do anything to our cat. He has some chicken cages at the bottom of the drive and I am worried that she has been put in one of these and taken out of the area.

She went missing a week after we came back off holiday and she was so pleased to see us. When I am alone in the house at night she would come and sit next to me on the bed and wait until she thought I was asleep. She wasn't all sweetness and light though because she was excellent at hunting baby rabbits. She would not starve in this area.
