It sounds like both cats have chosen to flee & seek temporary refuge rather than risk another confrontation with this dominant cat.
Find out whether or not the cat has an owner & if he is neutered. If the cat is fixed, unchipped & no owner comes forward to claim him, you can contact Celia Hammond, Cats Protection or Stray Cat Club to arrange a TNR. This would remove the current threat & give these cats an opportunity to return home safely if they are close by.
Our team carry scanners as part of a voluntary initiative to help reunite missing cats with their owners. We'll be keeping a look out for Gladys & Doris on our daily travels.
I hope your friend is reunited with them soon.
Have heard them twice this afternoon. Have binoculars at the ready.....are there any other birds that make similar calls? It's a very distinctive sound. Stand by!
Do you have any binoculars? My first ever sighting of swifts was when I was lying in the park, trying out some 10x25s. Nothing at all within plain sight, but when I was playing around with the focus -- presumably for clouds or planes -- suddenly there they were. I've still never heard any in real life though. The sample I heard on the BBC website sounded fairly high frequency and not very loud, so I suppose I might miss some; but then there have been precious few reports I've seen here of any being heard. The only one I remember is Jenny1's last year.
