解析：本文主要讲述了Linda Ellertn于2007年在家附近发现了一只新生的小猫，于是把它带回家照顾并给它取名为Whiskas，但是不幸的是，Whiskas在2013年走丢了。上个月，Linda偶然在脸书上看到一个寻找猫主人的帖子，她发现那只猫居然就是Whiskas。
①句意:这位热心的女士把小猫带回了家，并给它取名为Whiskas。根据tk可知，时态是一般过去时，所以动词name“命名”要变成过去式named。故填named。
②句意:不幸的是，Whiskas在2013年失踪了。根据Sadly和空前的went可推知，此处表示Whiskas失踪了，g missing意为“失踪”。故填missing。
③句意:Linda到处找，但没找到。分析“Linda lked 't find it.”可知，空格前后是转折关系，连词but“但是”符合语境。故填but。
④句意:此后不久，她家搬到了另一个城市。shrtly after意为“在……之后不久”，句首首字母大写。故填Shrtly。
⑤句意:上个月，当Linda浏览脸书时，她碰巧看到了英国皇家防止虐待动物协会的一个帖子。happen t d sth.意为“碰巧做某事”，结合提示词可知，空格处应填动词不定式t see。故填t see。
⑥句意:这个动物慈善机构正在寻找一只失踪猫的主人。根据上文“she pst frm the RSPCA”可知，此处表示正在寻找猫的主人，结合happened可知，此处应用过去进行时，结构是:was/were+动词-ing形式，主语The animal charity表示单数，所以be动词用was，动词lk要变成lking。故填was lking。
⑦句意:去年12月，一位动物爱好者在自家花园里发现了这只猫，并带它去看了兽医。根据An可知，空格处是可数名词的单数形式，结合提示词可知，空格处应填名词lver“爱好者”。故填lver。
⑧句意:但是由于芯片已经过时，他不得不求助于皇家防止虐待动物协会。根据“ chip was ut f date, he had t turn t the RSPCA fr help”可知，前句是后句的原因，空格处意为“因为，由于”，连词as、since和because都符合语境。故填as/since/because。
⑨句意:这些照片看起来像Whiskas。分析“The phts ”可知，此处表示这些照片看起来像Whiskas，lk like意为“看起来像”，故填like。
⑩句意:但一开始，我觉得这么多年过去了，这不可能是我的猫。根据“But at first”可推知，此处表示Linda起初认为这不可能是她的猫，结合thught可知，时态是一般过去时，所以空格处应填culdn’t“不可能”。故填culdn’t。
