This handsome ginger cat is called Ossian, and he's gone missing.
The two-year-old male – distinctive for his unusual curly coat – did what most of us feel like doing when builders enter the house: ran for the hills in terror.
The problem is: Ossian is normally a confirmed indoor cat with no previous inclination to explore the outside world. He is likely to be lost, frightened and cold in the Logan Street/Eyre Crescent area.
He's chipped, but really shouldn't be hard to recognise. As a LaPerm (a comparatively rare breed which began in the 1980s), his fur is a very reddish ginger, coarse and wavey to the touch 'like a terrier's'. He has yellowy/green eyes, and a white bib, beard and paws. (A larger cat lives in the neighbourhood, but is mostly white with ginger patches.)
If you spot Ossian, please call 07809 759500. A reward is offered.
