The poor cat wasn't chipped, but they are going to put posters up and let other vets in the area know, so at least the owners will know someone cared.
She didn't get a good enough look at the men to be able to give a description as it was dark, and all over very quickly. The dogs were dark coloured staffies which sadly won't narrow it down much.
One very small good thing has come from it though, I think I've finally persuaded her to get her own cats chipped. Although they rarely go out it only takes a moment for an accident to happen, and not knowing where they are or what has happened to them must be unbearable.
RMF: I've just tried to clean Sully's ears. It is physically impossible to hold ear cleaner, cotton wool and his head all at once with just 2 hands. The first shake landed slobber and ear cleaner square in my face, stupidly I opened my mouth with the shock, just in time for the second shake...
