A Cork couple who returned from honeymoon to find their beloved cat had vanished have begun a major search operation, enlisting a psychic to help find the missing animal.

Ken and Órla Baird have asked the Cork public to help them find their adored ‘shy but friendly’ tortoiseshell cat Bridie, who is three years old and has now been missing for nine days.

“We had a house sitter stay in our house while we were on honeymoon.” Ken told us. “The day before we arrived home, she disappeared. Which is very unlike her, she has never gone away before.

“In our search for answers, we even reached out to a psychic, who gave us a few unusual clues. We’ve been wracking our brains trying to make sense of them.”

The psychic, a friend of Ken’s mum’s, had previously helped to find her lost wedding ring many years ago. These are the clues she supplied the couple with:

• “She may be near a supermarket with a green area outside.
• There could be a white house nearby.
• Someone wearing a blue jacket might know something.
• She might even be on a lead or collar, though she’s never worn one before.
• Something to do with Donald Trump was mentioned — we wondered if this could refer to a local golf course near us.”

“If anyone has seen anything or has any thoughts, we’d be so grateful to hear from them.” added Ken.

If you’ve seen Bridie, who is neutered and microchipped, in the Frankfield area, you can let Ken and Órla know in the comments on Facebook.
