Exclusive: Who's taken Zoe's cat? We called her tormentor's number to find out

Where's Mini Mo?

Zoe’s cat seemed to have been kidnapped (or catnapped) in EastEnders last night (Wednesday, November 5) as her mystery tormentor got in touch to reveal that they were holding Mini Mo hostage.

With Zoe convinced that someone’s out to get her, she faced an uphill struggle in getting Kat and Alfie to believe her latest claims.

And who can blame them? Zoe had just admitted to being behind the pictures of her that someone had defaced, making her stories of a stalker increasingly hard to believe.

As she tried to take her mind off things with Freddie, a text from Mini Mo’s cat-napper emerged.

“GUESS WHO HAS YOUR KITTY CAT?” the menacing text read, in all-caps. “I DO.”

But who’s taken Mini Mo?

Who’s taken Zoe’s cat in EastEnders? We called her stalker for answers

As this scene aired last night, an image of the text in question flashed across the screen. The message also included Zoe’s stalker’s number, for all to see.

We couldn’t resist calling this number, to see for ourselves who might have taken Mini Mo.

They’re too smart for us (and Zoe) though, as we were greeted by the automated message: “This person’s phone is switched off. Please try later, or send a text.”

Well, it was worth a try.

Fans share catnapper theories as fears for Zoe grow

As the search for Zoe’s cat continued, viewers have shared their own theories as to who’s taken Mini Mo.

Some have wondered whether it could be Anthony, having taken the kitty to get into Zoe’s good books.

“Anthony is blatantly stealing the cat so he can constantly be helping Zoe out,” wrote one fan on X.

Meanwhile, another – far darker – theory suggests that Zoe is faking it, just as she did with the pictures. “She killed that cat and hid its body and she is damaging those photos herself,” said another.

“Does anyone else think this cat doesn’t even exist?” asked a third – echoing fears that she might have ‘made up’ her son.

Has someone really taken Mini Mo? Or is Zoe really going through some kind of psychotic break, as suggested by Anthony?
