Sighting of Tabitha at 15.30pm on Friday August 7th running from a field to the bushes near the scout hut in Appleby Magna. I went there and stood in one place calling Tabitha calmly and she was clearly dazed and dehydrated in the shrubbery. She meowed to me and a feeling of joy enveloped me. Myself and friends had to shear through shrubbery, nettle bushes etc to create tunnels for Tabitha to get through. We then camped out at the spot with her food there and one of her blankets. I stayed with a friend there until it was dark and used an infrared torch to find her. I created a bread crumb trail with some of her treats to the house and walked to and from the spot to the house to create the scent needed for her to get home.
