The RSPCA is investigating the mysterious disappearance of a large number of cats in a town dubbed the Purr-muda Triangle.
More than 40 pet cats are reported to have vanished from homes in Stourbridge, West Midlands, over the last eight years.
The RSPCA has been investigating the disappearances - but said to date, no cat remains had been found.
Julie Wootton, whose 15-year-old cat Norman went missing last year, told the Daily Mail website she had formed a group to try and solve the mystery.
She said: 'It's terrible, the area is just deserted of cats now, people have stopped replacing pets because they can't face the heartache.
'We have even found a few collars afterwards, on one it said that the cat was microchipped.
'If the animal is found by the bin-men, or is brought into a vet, they will always scan it for a microchip, so they aren't being found.'
A RSPCA spokesman said: 'We share the concerns of worried cat owners when their pets have gone missing and in liaison with the police have investigated the incidents we have been notified of.
'In this case there have been reports of missing cats with no information about how they have gone missing, with no bodies of cats as evidence therefore it is difficult to investigate further without any evidence.
'We will continue to look into any further incidents which are reported to us and it is our intention to make door to door enquiries in the local area with a leaflet drop to see if any further information will be forthcoming.'
