Yes @jonsie The little ginger toerag rocked up at 4pm. I think someone had fed him because he wasn't in the slightest bit hungry (I wish people would not do that) 
However, he isn't right because he hasn't been out all day today...just lying around sleeping ...
Thanks for asking...
@Cleoriff ..... what news of your cat which did a bunk for some hours & caused you distress ? ..... is it your handsome cat Bugsy ? ..... who you elsewhere on O2C posted a pic of ? ..... you said he was sleeping a lot which was out of character & not in the least bit hungry - you reckoned someone had been feeding him & I agree = wish people wouldn't do that
hope your dear cat is ok
my hunter cat Marty brought me 2 presents today ie a shrew & later on a sparrow
each alive ..... = ..... he doesn't kill little animals just likes to bring them back to me to show 'what a clever boy he is'
I only have one chance to rescue these little animals
I was too slow with the shrew as when Marty dropped the animal it ran off fast round the yard in between plant pots & stuff ..... Marty got him again & escaped over the yard gate ..... cat came back within 5 minutes max = no shrew = wonderful 
shrew wins again :womanvery-happy:
the sparrow I was quick enough for = I wrapped it up in what was to hand = t-towel ..... then took it along canal towpath to where there are lots of sparrows in hawthorn hedge (I feed them with suet filled coconuts) ..... unwrapped the little bird & it was great to see it fly away to where it belonged in its own flock the other, well-overgrown, bank of the canal ..... feeling good .....

Gizmo came back the same day @Anonymous about 4pm.... I think someone had fed him as he wasn't hungry
Little toerag... Not a very good picture as he wont sit still...but the best I have at the moment 
well ..... @Cleoriff ..... the colours in your cat Bugsy's coat are beautiful ..... & ..... he has got his energy back then if he is not sleeping a lot which was the case when he decided to return to you ? 
ie if he won't stay still to pose for a photo 
I do hope he is behaving 'normally' now ..... & that I have expressed myself as I have wished to do ..... photos of my cat Marty to laptop & then on to OTC/fb/email is a work-in-progress for me on another thread (which you were heavily involved in getting put into O2C products & other services section, you will probably remember ..... I have chosen which photo of my cat Marty I want to go on O2C & have recently managed to put said photo of 'Marty in my yard' on my laptop as wallpaper ..... = ..... something quite automatic to most people here on O2C I know, but a big step for me :womanvery-happy: dunno if I'd be able to repeat action again though ..... = ..... rofcgu 
Did you see David Beckham at the Wimbledon Mens Final ? ..... = ..... probably not, as you were mostly watching Lewis Hamilton win British F1 at Silverstone, I guess

Hi @Anonymous .... The picture is of Gizmo ...he is the one who went missing.:smileyhappy:
If you remember Bugsy is a tabby, where Gizmo is ginger. Funnily enough since he went missing and has returned , he isn't straying far from home at all...
Can't wait to see a picture of your Marty (and as Jonsie and MI5 explained it really is easy to get a picture uploaded on to here)
I did see David Beckham at the tennis yesterday (I must have flicked over just at the right time):smileyvery-happy:
GM All ..... @Cleoriff ..... thanks for the info regarding Gizmo your ginger cat
very pleased to hear Gizmo has come back to 'behave himself properly' ..... I have always allowed my cats to go outside ..... but ..... it a worry when they becave out of character
re: the seemingly inordinate amount of time I am taking to get my Marty's phone onto O2C ..... = ..... I have using the minimizer on screen to both the subject ie photos from laptop to disc (now marked as solver by me, but also now I know about the subscribing thing I intend to subscribe to that O2C subject ..... atm ..... I greatly appreicate @MI5 & @jonsie 's instructions in print & screen .....but..... my problem is the geography in the what is now my work room in the house ..... I have used the minimizer facility on the laptop ..... flicking between the thread's instructions from MI5 & jonsie ..... at right-angles to my computer station there is a wooden desk ..... atm ..... piled up 'heapa-heapa' style with stuff ..... I have order some flact-pack free standing shelves to accommodate mainly computer bits & bobs type of stuff & laptop paperwork & said wooden desk also now houses my new 3-in1 printer (not in a position to be kicked) .....

Gizmo is gorgeous! Harry went missing while I was off sick and I was beside myself. He's always around and spent most of his time with me when I was off so I knew something was wrong even though people were telling me it wasn't long to be missing - I think we know our cats habits. He eventually strolled home that night and we think he'd got locked in next door - he hasn't gone far since!
Thanks for your comment about Gizmo @Anonymous He is gorgeous...and knows it!
You are absolutely right about how well we know our pets....if mine aren't there for their food, there is something wrong....So even a day can seem such a long time.
Funnily enough since Gizmo went missing he, like Harry, has not gone far since....suits me
