I AM appealing to the owner of a large, beautiful ginger cat which lives somewhere in the vicinity of King Harold's Way, Bexleyheath.

The cat seems to be shut out at night, and in a desperate attempt to find shelter has broken into my house by forcing its way through a locked cat flap, pushing the whole fitting and some masonry out of the wall.

If you recognise this as your cat, take responsibility for it and provide some shelter, and preferably warmth for it.
