Looking a bit scruffy and covered in cobwebs, it seems that she was
helping my next door but one neighbour, Owen, clear out his shed on
Sunday. He shut the door when he finished and forgot to check if she was
there because he thought he saw her come home.
I saw him on his way to work this morning, asked if he had seen her and
we went and checked his shed together. Guess who should appear! She's
not really any the worse for wear, although a bit hungry.
Thanks for the purrs and good thoughts.

Only in that I've left them, they were offering new customers much
better deals & services than us existing ones which annoyed me (on
faster packages they also now charge extra for NG access & bandwidth) so
I quit. After a brief sojourn with NDO/namesco who had limited NG cover
I'm moving to an ISP close to my heart GreenISP who've planted, or
rather will plant, a broadleafed native tree for my signup. They have no
NG access but a red-hot BBand Max package so I'm having to learn
aioe.org & their little ways.
I'm also interested in recommendations for binaries NG access so I can
see the "animals" again - anyone?

I am using "Disputo", a German newsgroup service, but it is available
worldwide (server farms in Germany and US).
Check out under www.disputo.com
At the moment their website is available in german language only, but
"international version coming soon..." :-/
They carry "all available newsgroups", incl. binaries. Smallest
account is EUR 9,00 per month (approx USD 11,25) including 10 GByte
data transfer volume.
If you have any question, just ask.
Squarely Yours

HOORAY!!! Boy, does this sound familiar! You've gotta watch cats
around open garage and shed doors - they slip in and nobody notices.
So glad she's OK! Make sure she gets plenty of liquid, too, with all
this heat.

Very familiar! I thought Lily was lucky that she was trapped for only
a couple of days, but you're right - it can be dangerous! In my
experience, sheds get hotter than garages in the summer.

I'm so glad you found her, I'm really not surprised where she was, cats are
so nosey.

No problem. That is one of Jakes favorite pass times. If it had been
Molly, the neighbor would likely not have spotted her even if he checked.
She really likes checking out those dark corners. And since she is busy
being an invisible tiger, keeps very still.
