A famous cat in Glasgow’s West end has been abducted and its owner and friends are desperate to trace him.

Monty the Hyndland Cat, who is a favourite of Kevin Bridges and other well known westenders including Greg Hemphill, was catnapped by a woman with a box on Saturday at 10:30pm outside his home in Hyndland Road.

The mystery woman claimed he had been vomiting and was taking him to the vet – but the 24 hour veterinary practise hasn’t seen him yet.

Concerned owner Abi has now asked people to look out for the thirteen year old cat which her daughter dotes on.
