The owners of an unusual Maine Coon cat, which has been missing since Bonfire Night, fear he was scared away by a firework.

Carol and Rob Ward of Wick Lane, Devizes, are worried the expensive breed of cat could have been stolen.

The couple have been out hunting for Fluff every day and put posters up.

Fluff was bought as an 18th birthday present for the couple’s daughter Ashleigh, 22, but she left to go travelling in New Zealand two days before the cat disappeared.

Mrs Ward said: “I had to tell her and she was quite upset. Fluff has some dog-like qualities such as sitting up to beg for food.”

The black and silver pet has a white chest, front paws and black legs and was last seen at 3pm on November 5.
