UPDATE- No longer lost, thank you everyone!
Chester is a grey tabby/white Cat who has been missing since Sunday 4th July.
Pictures below.
He will come running if you shake biscuits in a jar, cookies etc.
He is usually a fully indoor cat, due to living near a main road.
He was left with a sitter over the last few days where he some somehow got out of the house.
He is a much loved family member, super friendly, and loves to eat.
It’s possible that he may be a bit scared due to unfamiliar surroundings.
Any help in locating him is much appreciated. Staying positive that we get out kitty cat home soon!

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
