"The Great Batsby" goes AWOL in Latheronwheel!

[pmcd]

Beg to report absence of ancient cat "Batsby" (a Battersea Dog's Home rescue puss, hence the name), AWOL since Friday 29th July Latheronwheel. Remarkable for his resemblance to a Norwegian Forest Cat, he has a thick bogbrush tail, and walks with a very slight and opportunistic limp when anyone's watching.

Sadly, we suspect he has Catzheimers, as he seems to forget where he is from time to time. He's done an all-niter before, but now he's definitely on the late list.

He looks greyish and striped, with white dabs on face and paws. The photo is of a rather younger and sun-dappled Batsby!

Any sightings in the Latheronwheel area or beyond to (01593) 741270. Bring him back, and there'll be a banknote waved in your direction. Only if it's Batsby, though.
