I was leaving my bedroom to go downstairs and saw one of my cats acting weird by the door to the second bedroom. It looked like he was watching a spider or something. As I moved the door I hit me so quick that it was Bob, head and half of his body down a small hole in the floorboards.

We couldn't pull him out without seriously injuring him, so had to let him go.


Good luck, Bob. We miss you so much already.

We're going to get a heat source and some hides and water and just do our best to provide for him whilst he's in the house. I don't know if we'll see him again because he's in the floors now, not just out in the house. We'll do our best to keep him in good health and maybe one day we'll see him again.

We're so sad though. He is such a lovely little character :(

Thank you for the kind words. It hasn't really hit me yet, but my other half shed a couple of tear. He had really grown attached to Bob who he described lovingly as "a rubbish little worm".

Hey, the cat found him once, they could find him again.

When Monster got loose it was the odd behaviour of my cats that drew my attention to him and let me recapture him.

(just trim their claws so they can't do as much damage)

Would it be possible to gently lift that floorboard just for chance he's hiding under there planning his next move and then place a bottle trap near by in the hope it tempts him out.
