Missing cat - Huron & Highbury area

EDIT: HE CAME HOME! Missing for a week and a half, and he just showed up at my bedroom window at around 4am. Seems perfectly healthy, if a bit dirty. I suspect someone was feeding him... perhaps they tried to take him in and he bolted first chance he got... or he's been surviving on an all mouse diet. Who knows... either way, he's back! Thanks to everyone who kept their eyes peeled!

Thought it would be worth a try to post here... Dimitri is a male, neutered stripey brown and white (with some grey) tabby cat. He is roughly 4 years old.

He is missing his collar (he constantly pulls them off of himself).

Last seen December 28 in the Huron and Highbury area, he doesn't seem to venture far from home normally, which is on Honeysuckle Crescent, which in the area northwest of the Huron and Highbury intersection.

He is quite friendly and playful, and will probably not resist being picked up. He rarely ventures off for long periods of time, so we're quite concerned.

If you find him, please send a message to me. He is friendly and never aggressive to people, so you can bring him indoors easily (though you might have to keep him away from other cats and dogs, he occasionally hisses at other cats, and tends to hide from dogs)

I cant confirm its yours or not, but I am in the kips area (country lane town homes) and there was a new stray hanging out here the other day. close to that description but it was dark.

Normally we have an orange one around and a solid black one, so I thought it unusually to notice a brown/grey/white stripped cat walking around.

might be worth swinging by with a photo to check with people

The orange cat isn't a stray, its a house cat that is allowed to roam. I'm in the same area and know exactly which cats you mean, heh.

:P in that case have you seen the new stray(outdoor) resembling the OP's description.

it was rather dark when I saw it so I may have confused it with another.

I haven't, but I will be looking out for him. I also showed my husband and best friend who lives in the area. We'll be on the look out!

I live in this area and have outdoor cats so that sometimes attracts other cats to the backyard. I'll keep an eye out for him.

I'll keep my eyes open near Adelaide. You might want to drop some flyers at the Northdale vet (Huron and Adelaide) and the pet shop in the plaza. Hope she returns home :(

I live over closer to the Adelaide end of Huron, but I'll keep an eye out for Dimitri if I end up going out anywhere and I'll post here if I see him. I won't be able to take him inside though because we already own a few dogs and have some other foster dogs with us. (and one of the fosters dislikes cats.)

Oxford, Highbury. I'll keep an eye for him.

Much appreciated... that's getting a bit further than I'd imagine he'd roam, but it's been a few days now, so who knows.

Good luck and always keep looking, my cat got lost (highbury and hamilton) was an indoor cat all his life and survived 6 weeks, came back a mess and they said the best route would be to put him down,we decided against it and, well 3 years later here we are hes still kickin'....I will keep my eyes open.EDIT : Spelling ; a lot of typos with 2 fractured fingers.

I live in the Huron/Oakville area, and my wife says she saw a cat that might have met the description last night. I'll keep a further lookout.
