| We all know cats
have are reputed to have nine lives, but Smudge
is luckier than most. When he went missing for two weeks
his owners had given up hope of ever seeing him again.
Despite a thorough search even involving the neighbours
there was still no sign of their cat, so they gave their
remaining cat food to a neighbour and resigned themselves
to their loss.
Fifty four days later the same neighbour called to
say he had found Smudge in his cellar
unwell, but alive! Smudge came in to us,
emaciated beyond belief, unable to stand and only lapping
chicken soup.
