A distraught cat owner is racing against the clock to find his missing moggie before fireworks night.

Mark Davies's cat, named Precious, went missing on October 13 after he had her for just two days.

Now Mr Davies has been frantically trying to find his cat in the hope of getting her back before fireworks night puts her in serious danger.

Mr Davies said: "We rescued Precious from a home after she had been there for a month - no one else had wanted her. She had been found wandering around Shoebury with a bad neck wound."

Mr Davies is now offering a £150 reward. Call 01702 216431.
