Chico-2

Answers Reacts to his name.

Possibly nosing around Ringsend.

Sarah writes:

My friend in work’s cat has gone missing around the Ringsend area, near Fisherman’s Wharf. His name is Chico, he is a 4 year old male, neutered and microchipped – this is really unlike him and it is a bad week for cats to be missing with bonfires etc… He answers to his name unusually for a cat.. if people could keep an eye out for him that would be great. He belongs to Fionnuala…it would be great if you could post this Broadsheet as she is really worried.

Anyone?

UPDATE: Chico found safe and well although a little “hoarse”. More to follow. Thanks all.

We all agree that Temple Bar,
Is Dublin’s best quarter by far,
For a stag or hen night
Or an old fashioned fight,
But make sure you don’t bring your guitar.

Name those ingredients anyone?
