We are starting to suspect foul play - how can a three legged cat travel five miles OVERNIGHT from our house to Gramacho but cant find his way home again ?????

We are very grateful to the wonderful chaps at the golf club who rang me within an hour of me notifying them he was missing again - apparently he had been hanging around since Monday looking cute on the terrace where all the diners had been feeding him lovely little tit-bits (BTW the venue looks lovely, we will definitely be back there to overlook the board of fare - yum) so he was looking very relaxed and not at all traumatised.

Thanks again for all your interest - hopefully this will be the end of the drama......

LOL!! he sounds quite a character your cat...glad all is well and he’s been found

Maybe he heard about the dog leg at Gramacho and thought they might have a cat one
Glad to hear he's safe and sound

Sound like he is like many golfers I know, his " handicap " is apparently far from genuine and does not prevent him playing a better game aroumd Carvoeiro.

So glad you have got him back again! at least you know where to go and look for him should he do it again....

He was probably trying to get his handicap rated! good news

Best not carry on with this, there will be at least 2 members shaking with rage and whipping them selves into a frenzy over the insensitive comments, might even walk off the forum

If you are referring to me ron5000 it would take more than a bunch of morons to make me walk

Perhaps with only 3 legs Gramacho suits his pace of play, what tees does he use?

Bruce, I think this was aimed at me as well. Only a total moron would make fun of a disability.

Thank god that cat can't get online to read your comments, mine and a dozen others! He'd end up a right sourpuss!

My neighbour's cat had to have a leg amputated some years ago but adapted so well that he has led a very normal life. He is a great mouser and covers a very big territory. He lives with 3 nutty cocker springers who never take any liberties with him as they know better. Several times I have had passing drivers knock on my door to say that they think our cat has been run over because they have seen him walking away only for them to be very embarrassed when I explain the position.
I have also known several 3 legged dogs who get along just fine.
I am a cat lover but a few silly jokes do no harm - the cat certainly doesn't care

Yeah, but if you use sticks and stones they run like hell!

What are you on about? Cameron had a disabled son who died very young. That is a very nasty and unnecessary thing to say.
