AS once again, our gardening days come to an end, may I please appeal to readers to check sheds and greenhouses to see if a curious cat has not crept in unnoticed and fallen asleep, before you lock them up for the winter.

Trapped inside the poor creature would die in agony as it slowly starved to death and its owner would be sick with worry as to what had happened to it.

A minute of your time for a quick check could save a tragedy.
