Had fun tonight. Called Osiris for his (late) tea, the Loc8tor was able to pick him up but all I could hear was cat mooing. Couldn't see him but traced him to under the fir trees at the front. When round into the turning circle & thought I could see him but realised it was another tabby (slightly smaller & with a white lower half of the face). Both of them wouldn't leave. Went to next door to see if Phil could help me. With a better torch we found Osiris on the drive side of the fir. I reached in for him & the other cat lashed out at me past Osiris. The both ran out & up the path to the next close with Osiris in the lead. the stranger stayed on the path & Osiris hid in the front garden of the next house. Went in between stranger & Osiris to try & get Osiris when the other cat attacked me! Got me through my jeans. Typical I'd been concerned that one of my 3 would scratch me before the op.!
They both hid under the mobile home in that house's driveway then Phil got a broom to try & move the stranger. They both shot over into the shrubbery next to my back garden fence & after some kerfuffle came back down the path & vanished. Every time it was the stranger chasing Osiris. Found them both in the back garden. the stranger was in the shrubs & Osiris was in the back corner but we couldn't see him. then I realised he was on on the back fence & wasn't coming down & the other cat wasn't shifting out the garden.
In the end Osiris went into the garden of the house behind, who I know. I went round & disturbed them (it was after 9 pm :9 ), unfortunately they'd just got back from a funeral so weren't over pleased at being disturbed but said I could go round the back. I didn't have the best torch & they didn't have a security light. I eventually found Osiris on the ground but he wasn't keen on being picked up. & struggled & escaped twice as I was struggling to navigate the steps in their garden!. In the end I left him to it hoping he would follow me & the Loc8tor beep - he's used to that calling him in although he had ignored it when the other cat was around. Luckily he did this time with the odd detour. When we got close to home I picked him up again & with difficulty managed to carry him into the house.
spoke to Phil who'd gone home as he'd lost the cat but didn't hear it go over a fence. I looked out & saw it at the side of the summer house. Couldn't see it when I went out there but had't heard it go over the fence. All 3 cats being kept in tonight until I can check the garden in daylight..
My leg was quite red scratches & blood, one rather deep /bruised one on my knee. Hope they've healed up before Wednesday as that will be when I'll have to contact the hospital & the cattery if they won't take me in!!! Can't remember when I last had a tetanus jab so may go to the walk-in centre in the morning.
Sould say I've checked Osiris over - as much as he'll let me - & he seems OK.
