New Tactics!

When i first started this, i was full of amazing stories and opinions i wanted to force upon the public, and it was great. Thing is, i've felt i've kinda set the world to rights, and finished.
I often spend time thinking of new articles to write, and i've just realised that blogging isn't about that.
I've had "online magazine'o'crap" on my mind instead, so whilst you may get the odd directed piece, i'll probably swap to a more flowing, general style.

Now i've got that crap out of the way, lets discuss the current issues.
First up on the agenda is a missing cat. He's black, pretty big for a cat, and he's also gone A.W.O.L.
He is (i'm not going to say was just yet ;) ) about 13 or so years old, getting on a bit, and called Gyver, after an anime show that was on TV about the time we got him as a kitten. If anyone is familiar with the Gyver "bio-boosted armour" which is a defence system were a kid suddenly grows incredibly sharp appendages, they'll probably figure out why kitty got the name.
He was last seen one night as i put him into the garage, as usual for the last 13 years or so, and the next morning he wasn't there for breakfast.

Quite rude in modern society, but we all have our off days. That evening, no sign, and no traces since.
The odd bits are he is in good health, i'd have expected him to slow down a little, go off food etc if he wasn't feeling well, so an illness would have to be pretty sudden.
As in within hours.
Also, sick animals tend to go somewhere quiet to die, and the trees at the bottom of the garden where he would hang out didn't show any traces.
He went missing between about 12pm and 6am, and was streetwise enough not to go near anyone when outside of the house, so that rules out him getting a kick up the arse from a passing drunk.
It would also be too late for him to be getting shut inside a shed or similar.
That only leaves a couple of options left.
Human/feline foul play is unlikely at this time of night, but maybe hit by a car?

Well, i don live on a pretty major dual carriageway, but the cat grew up here, and i've never seen him venture out past the front garden wall towards the road.

Would he do that in the hours of darkness? still unlikely, as i spend most of my time sitting near the window, like now, in a darkened room watching the traffic and people go by.
Plus, i'm out of the house long before the council bodysnatchers (yes, there is actually a department that pick up roadkill) and no dead cats about.

The neighbours are dogwalkers too, and there network hasn't seen anything either.

It's seems the concrete jungle just came alive and took him, no bodies, no blood...

There are often mentions of big cat sightings in the UK, most of which happen to be idiots zooming in on a regular cat, or just videoing a dog, and pointing out every detail that screams "dog" as evidence it is a cat, but in this case, the mystery is why the lack of big cat sighting...

I'd put a pic up, but haven't got any to hand, but black, furry, greenish eyes etc...
you know the drill...

The End
