A Three Cat Blip

Today's blip is a trichotomonous feline tale  - a cat based story divided into three parts involving a street cat, a missing cat and an unexpected visitor.
We only quickly popped into town today in the hope of getting some more street shots but it was pretty quiet so there was very little chance of some human based interaction images and I had nearly given up hope until we came across this little street cat on the way back to the car. Despite its rather enigmatic looking expression it was more than happy to have its close-up portrait taken and was also very amenable to being stroked. I did try to find out its name as it had a collar on but being a cat it had had enough of the short time in our company and sauntered off into the grounds of a nearby church.
When we got back our ex-neighbour (who's house I mentioned in a previous blip has been completely gutted with much attendant noise since they moved out a couple off weeks ago) knocked on the door to see if we had seen sight or sound of her cat Pippa who had fled just before the removal vans arrived and who she was missing terribly. 
She has been spotted a few doors away by some of our other neighbours (and is continuing to be fed by one of them) but whilst she seems to be fairly distressed by the loss of her old home she does not yet appear to be ready to relocate from the environment she knows so well.
Our ex-neighbour had brought over a trap (a humane one I hasten to add) and some of Pippa's favourite dry food so that we could set it up at the top of our garden in the hope of capturing her so she could be taken to her new home but just as we were trying to set it up (we failed miserably but I was finally able to do so later after viewing an instructional YouTube video) a black cat appeared out of the undergrowth (Pippa is a black cat with a white marking on her chest) and we thought we'd struck gold at the first attempt. Sadly it proved not to be the case as she was lacking the distinctive white marking but it was still lovely to meet what turned out to be an unexpected but very friendly new neighbourhood feline.
