THREE young children have made a desperate plea to get their missing cat back.

Ginger and white moggy Oliver, who is just over a year old, has been missing from the family home in Ludlow Avenue, Priorswood, Taunton, for the past 11 days.

His owner Rachel Smith said: "He just didn't come in for his food on Monday morning (August 8).

"He'd normally be waiting for his breakfast, but there was no sign of him.

"The children - Amber (aged 10), Stanley (seven) and Daisy (six) - and I miss him dearly and desperately want him back.

"They've been putting leaflets through people's doors and Amber's been out on her bike putting up posters, but we haven't heard anything.

"Oliver doesn't really wander very far normally. He's friendly, but quite shy, although he'd do anything for a plate of food."
