Yuo 'n me both! I almost had a panic attack from the empathy.
Thank goodness the little shit is safe.

Thanks for your remote panicking! We're all in a state of emotional exhaustion here...

Our cat of 14 yrs passed last month, in the midst of a bunch of other things.

I'm glad you got your cat back.

Thanks man, and sorry.

I find myself constantly surprised by the strength of my attachment to our pets; I'm sure it's the same for most people. 14 yrs is an age that our (very fat) oldest she-cat will never reach; you must have looked after yours well.

The bastard cat has run away again. This time it's been gone for a week; I guess it's not coming home.

Bastard cats.

Even with his camp lookin' collar?

Grrr.

I hope he returns. How is your amazingly cute daughter taking it?

I used to have a kitty that liked to play escape artist and hang out at various houses in the neighborhood.

Some cats just can't be monogamous. Even so, they make you worry so much until you find them.

Is this cat allowed to go outside usually? Did the collar have contact info on it? And, did you call or stop by the house where he/she went last time?

Please kitty, please come home.........

I saw this thing on TV recently about a cat that returned after being gone for 18 months...

One of the two cats I kept before moving house (they live with some friends, now, I live too near their old patch which could be dangerous) did suddenly disappear once for at least a week. We were really panicked, and spent most of the night checking behind every door, under every bed to find her but to no avail. Anyway, as I said, she did eventually return, and it came to light that she'd developed a habit of sneaking into a neighbours' garage and pinching their food.

She still stays out for days, from time to time.
