  1. Are you sure that cat's Big Tiddles? It looks remarkably like one I lost recently, by the name of Massive Moggie.

  2. How do you LOSE a cat that size ?

  3. It was chased away by an even bigger cat. Tried to take a photo but couldn't get all of it in.

  4. I find a wide-angle lens invaluable when snapping especially large felines. However, another thought occurs; might you have inadvertently hit the "t" key instead of "r" whilst typing ? They are immediately adjacent. And I note that the original missing item was called "Massive Moggie". MOGGIE is the affectionate name given by owners to their Morris 1000s i.e., MOGGIE 1000s. Quite possibly the trauma of losing such an iconic vehicle unhinged your mind and you mistook the orange and yellow Big Tiddles cat for your car.
