Sue brings in psychic to help find missing pet

By [gstamford]

Radio appeals, handmade leaflets, pet detectives, and even psychic communicators. These are the lengths a Lincolnshire woman has gone to in order to find her missing cat.

Sue Machen's pet cat Oliver went missing on October 24 from his home in the village of Boothby Graffoe.

Now, Miss Machen has made an appeal to the Echo to help find more information on her missing cat.

Oliver is a white and grey tabby cat. He has a white stomach and legs, and is tabby down his back and tail. He also has a distinctive black spot on the left side of his pink nose.

On Christmas Eve, it will be two months since Oliver was last seen. Miss Machen, a 56 year-old nurse, is looking for any information on Oliver which may help to bring him home in time for Christmas.

"The last time I saw him was on the evening of the 24 October, at around 8.45pm," she explained.

"He was outside in the gardens, and I've not seen him since. This is the first time he's ever done something like this, so I'm very worried. He's a great cat, and I miss him so much.

"I'll do everything I can to find him. I'm very hopeful, as I don't think people or pets just disappear into thin air. Someone may have found him thinking he was a stray, or he might be living rough.

"I've had so many leads worth following up, but none have led to his recover as of yet. It's like having a big jigsaw. I've got all the pieces, but I just don't know where they fit."

Miss Machen has gone to great lengths to find Oliver, which has resulted in handing out leaflets throughout Lincolnshire, local radio campaigns, hiring animal communicators and psychics, and even seeking help from pet detective agency Animal Search UK.

"The psychic and the animal communicators gave me some helpful indications of where he might be," she said.
