My cat is missing. :(

Not a good picture, but the best one of him I could find. He’s always moving, so it’s hard to get a good shot.

In the past 4 months, the number of cats living with me has gone from 5 (plus one dog) to just 2. In July, Chunks passed away suddenly, and then Mr. Biggles, Babycat, and Dexter (the dog) all went to live with my daughter and her fiance. My housemate, Stacey, took her cat Isaiah to Florida with her last month (and by the way, I’m still looking for another housemate–the guy who was here moved to the upstairs apartment).

Now Sheldon, my tuxedo cat, has been gone for two days. Stacey actually trained him to come when he’s called and since she left, whenever I call him in for the night, he comes running. So I know something’s wrong because he didn’t come home last night, and wasn’t here in this morning and still isn’t back. šŸ˜¦ I’ve called and called him, and looked everywhere and he’s nowhere to be seen. I’m starting to get really worried. Sheldon has lived with me for 4 years, going on 5, and while it’s not the first time he’s been gone this long, it’s the first time since Stacey was here.
So everyone, please keep Sheldon in your prayers that he returns safely.

ETA: About two hours after I posted this, Sheldon showed up wanting dinner! Now I’m gonna kill him.
Thanks, everyone! šŸ™‚

  5. SO relieved that he came home. Years ago one of our kitties escaped through an open window, and she ended up going feral. For months we would see her occasionally outdoors, but we couldn’t get close to her — she was afraid of us and would run away if we tried to get near her. After a few months she was very skinny and malnourished, and one day she showed up in our back yard looking near death. My girls took some food and moved toward her very slowly and carefully, doing their best not to frighten her, and finally they were able to get her. We had to re-domesticate her, but eventually she re-integrated into the family.

    • That is so sad šŸ˜¦ I’m glad your daughters were able to finally socailize her again. I had a cat like that who ran away and almost went feral–but she was taken in by neighbors, who she seemed to prefer to us. :/ Oh well, at least she’s safe.
