Hope you find Marvin soon. It will help us lookout for him if you can attach a photo.

Well done for microchipping him, if only everyone were so sensible. Remember to call the microchip company, tell them he is lost and check that they have your correct contact details.

It often helps to empty some contents of your hoover outside your home (or put out something which has his scent) as he will recognise scent even if quite far away. Flyers are useful, including roads with gardens backing on to your garden. He may have got trapped in someone's house or shed by mistake.

It's also a good idea to put details of a lost pet on www.animalsearchuk.co.uk with a good close up photo.

You probably do this anyway, so this is just general advice to other cat owners out there - it's a good idea to lock the catflap at night so that cats are safe inside at night as it reduces the risk of them getting lost or injured by a car.

Thanks justine am digging out photos today so will attach and do the flyers as well. Worried he has been trapped or injured as out of character for him to stay away

Will look out for your distinctive cat but in these urgent circumstances, were I lucky enough to spot him, I'd have no rapid means of alerting you. Perhaps giving out a mobile/landline number would be appropriate, as well as posting on the website Justine identifies? Anyway, good luck.

Thanks. Was about to but he arrived back safe and sound very late last night. Very happy ! I think he must have got trapped somewhere. Thanks for the tips though
