We are not the only ones who go on our summer hols! Choccie also seems to do this at around about the same time as we go on holiday. This year she left a few days after us and was still away when we returned from Wales. She retuned for one day only about a week after us and then was gone again.
I was beginning to feel guilty about not making any efforts to find her so I finally got around to phoning the national lost cat service on Tuesday 16th August. I had only put the phone down for five minutes when I heard an almighty crash in our bedroom, which is off limits to cats. When I opened the door, who should saunter in but Choccie! So I had to phone the lost cat people almost immediately once more to tell them ‘Do you know what? She’s just turned up!’
And when Mia returned from school she told us another spooky fact – that last year Choccie returned on August 16th too!
