REMEMBERING the story about Sinbad (The Miracle Moggy, Hereford Times, April 2), the cat who stowed away in a container from Egypt, we were concerned lest his family were wondering what had happened to him.

So we took the cutting with us on our recent trip there. The alley-cats were most interested to hear about their intrepid relative, and sent their warmest wishes, but a battle-scarred older relative was not tempted to swap his most ‘interesting’ life on the streets of Alexandria for the cold and wet of Herefordshire.
