The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Not sure if this is the right place for this post - feel free to move it if not.
I'm just looking for opinions basically.
I was in a meeting at work this morning and I saw a black and white cat across the road walking along. I didn't think anything of it but I've just seen it again....
There are no houses this far out. My work is in a brand new industrial estate with lots of work going on outside digging up the road.
I have worked here since June last year and my seat is by the window so if I'm not on TCS I spend the rest of my time looking outside and have never seen one single cat up here.
I'm going to keep an eye out but if I see it again do you think I should check it out after work? I'm not in an office where I can just run out and say I'm going to check this cat has a collar but I am definately going to be thinking about this kitty in bed tonight.
We are by a very busy dual carriage way, but one saving grace is there are lots of fields around so I don't think it will go hungry.
What would you guys do?

I would check it - even just for my own peace of mind!

It may live around there though - even thought the location seems peculiar! There are numerous black cats that live at Oxford Road station here!

It was so hard to tell if it looked well fed, I'm up on the second floor and it just ran past twice. I wasn't actually paying too much attention this morning, it wasn't until I saw it again something didn't seem right. I'm looking out for it now, at least I can see if it's heading toward to road but when I last saw it it was heading to the other side of the building.
I know it could live up here but I would have seen it before, I thought cats usually hung around the same places when they went out?
I'll keep an eye out for it if I can't see it and it's still bothering me tonight I'll come back up a bit later when it's quiet..

I would keep an eye out for it. Some industrial places keep cats for mousing, just like farm cats. A friend's husband does at his owrk and she is apampered princess - hopefully this cat has the same type deal!

I hope so but I don't think so if you know what I mean?
At the minute there is just us and another building up here and I don't think anyone would bring a cat up for mousing because there is so much work going on, they are tarmacing and building other stuff so it wouldn't be safe.
There are houses down the road so I hope if he's lost his way he can get back safe and sound.

I haven't seen the little thing for a couple of hours now, I'll look around when I leave work in half an hour but if I can't see him I'll have to hope he's ok.
Mark says I should bring him home to Sleeves and Nismo

A lot of people walk their dogs up here because of the open space so I doubt it would hand around to be seen

Jupiter wanders pretty far, so he might be of a housing estate like some people have said.

Look at it's condition, coat etc.

Try bribing it with tuna to get it to come over!
