Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Missing: fluffy black cat, between Roseberry and Chesterfield Gardens (likely GL end)
Whispy is spayed and accurately chipped and disappeared in the gardens of the Gardens this sunny afternoon (4th November), which makes me wonder whether she investigated a shed, or semi-renovated house, or back door and is shut in.
She is 8, not particularly friendly to strangers, and knows her little area very well, having lived here all her life. Although she potters in nearby gardens, she *never* goes more than a couple of hours without popping back to her house for snacks or company. Having not seen her for over 10 hours, I know she's otherwise detained. Please check outbuildings or let me know if a speedy black cloud flashed past you as you opened a back or front door. She doesn't tolerate a collar, but she looks glossy and well (ie. not stray).
She's not too big, with edge-fluff browned from the sun, and a tiny (mostly invisible) white patch on her chest. Attaching a couple more pictures for reference, including today in the sun the last time I saw her.

do you think she would make it all the way to Cavendish road? I saw a fluffy black cat up at the top of river and I went to say hi and it ran through the gate to the river, I thought it was the usual fluffy black cat I see on Cavendish road but this one was waiting by its door down the road

Thanks for the tip, Mark! I walked to to scout around but only saw a charming tuxedo cat on the banks of the river. She's normally not very adventurous so I think she's unlikely to cross Green Lanes. I've discovered this morning she visited someone's flat in Chesterfield Gardens and may still be stuck in the vicinity so following that up.

Just an update here, with thanks to everyone who received and noted my flyers locally, or kept a look out having seen this. She had followed a frenemy neighbour-cat into her own apartment on Chesterfield Gardens, and fled under floorboards when the humans arrived.
For anyone else's future reference, she was almost entirely quiet and still while hiding out under there, so much so that the residents thought she must have left. She was only discovered by flashing a phone light towards her hiding place to catch her eyes, and it was only after two days of coaxing that I extracted her (tuna. Always try tuna).
