Hi again, Schutz:
Sorry to "bug" you again - this has been preying on my mind - just wondering what I would do if this happened to our little fluffy fleabags?
I know that you've got the Police involved, don't forget the RSPCA, and, fingers crossed, you'll get a positive result, but I know only too well that the real way to hope to get to the bottom of it is to try to get the message out there about what happened.
Please don't think I'm trying to teach you how to "suck eggs", I'm just wondering if the following could help at all?
Within reason, get some posters up locally appealing for information(And, yes, I realize that fly posting's technically an offence), but we all have our local newsagent's, local radio, post office, pubs, shops, schools, youth club etc etc. It's just possible that someone may see it who knows someone with an air rifle? Still won't prove they did it, but could have the desired effect of nipping it in the bud before it happens again?
Some people, including yourself, may read this and think I'm off my trolley, and I probably am, but I just wanted to put this your way in case you needed any suggestions?
Wish I could "loan" you our ginger tom until you get Frankie back. Best wishes.
