Title: Won't be at the festival this weekend.... cat went missing
Post by: saphire_glade on August 25, 2011, 12:01:49 PM
So I don't know where everyone lives and the moderator can delete this if it is sooooo out there. But I lost my cat, I can't go back to Fest until I find him because if he comes home I want to be there to let him back in.

He was lost near Lake Phalen. He is a 16lb Grey Tabby. He might be trying to go back to Falcon Heights. He was last seen on Tuesday in the morning, I haven't seen a trace of him since then. If any of you live in that area and see him please let me know.

So hope he comes home soon. Until then all of you please enjoy the festival without me... I need my baby and I want to be there when he comes wandering back. As otherwise you would all just end up seeing a crying faerie instead.

I've got a chubby Russian Blue, who got out a week ago and disappeared... i thought i was going to have a nervious breakdown until his fat butt appeared outside my front door.  He's now on lock down.


I hope he comes home to you, Saphire....

We'll miss you but we understand. I hope Ari returns home to you soon.

Its pretty official. Ari has not shown hide nor hair nor eaten a single kibble from the bowls by both my front and back doors. I have checked the house we moved from and he is not there... though when you are just a kitty crossing both highways 61 and 35E could end your journey... and I would never know. I keep hoping that he will be found. But my deadline of finding him this morning in order to go to fest has come and gone.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. Weather looks pretty fantastic till Sunday afternoon. Jewel will be stubornly waiting for that piece of her heart and soul to come home.

Cats are amazing creatures.  The Incredible Journey is a true story!  Yes, the highways are dangerous, but don't give up hope.  Have you put up posters in your old neighborshood?  Talk to your neighbors there to see if they will keep an eye out and call you if they see your baby.  Does your old home have new inhabitants?  Maybe they will put food out and keep an eye out for you also.
Prayers for your kitty to have safe travels and be back home soon!

Ari hasn't returned. I am quite saddened by this fact. I have to hope that he is eating well *probably on frogs that are everywhere* and that he will come home soon to either home!

I managed to get some sewing done while waiting, so hopefully I should have a shiny new corset that looks very much like the old one before it was glitter bombed.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I am still hopefully that they will all be answered... probably when it rains and he realizes outside means the possibility of getting wet....

This is very sad, and stressful for you too!  How many miles is it from old house to new house?  In addition to visiting your local animal shelters, have you called the vet offices in between?  Most have email now, you could probably send a picture and your info to them.  Be strong and don't give up hope, cats have amazing survival abilities!

My wife's family lives near Orange and Frank.  My wife and I live near Falcon Heights.

We will keep our eyes out!

Best wishes!

Have you tried looking at your local animal shelters in the area? Your kitty may have been picked up and is safely waiting for you.

I lost a cat one time moving into a new apartment. And I was only putting my stuff in the apartment, living in the hotel I worked at for a couple weeks. Was so sad. When I came back to the apartment, found little paw prints all over the place. That stupid cat was hiding!!!! Hope you find your kitty
