Mom's cat, CASSIE CAT, has been missing since this afternoon. Mom didn't see her get out but thinks she might have snuck out while Mom went out on the porch to water the flowers. Sometimes she sleeps under the bed for awhile and doesn't come out when we call but when she didn't come out for dinner we knew she was gone. Cassie (or Cassie Cat) is very shy & skittish. She rarely meows. She can only be tempted with food.

Missing from 457 Enright Place, Village of Amelia, nearest to Mallory Square, connecting to Banberry Run then Odell or to Corbett then Odell.

Please call Barb or Marilyn at (352) 753-6523 ANYTIME.

She is my Avatar but I'll post another picture. Thank you.

Found Cassie in back yard this morning. Some animal had gotten to her. We are hurting so badly that she had to die this way. I don't think we'll ever get over it.

Put food out, and check with the neighbors, with any luck Kitty is hiding nearby.

I'll keep an eye peeled for her.

I'm so very very sorry. Losing a pet is hard enough but to lose your beloved cat this way is just tragic. Many hugs.

My heart aches for your loss. What a tragedy that you had to lose poor Cassie this way. I am very, very sorry for your loss. Keeping you in my thoughts at this difficult time.

OMG ! This is so sad and heart breaking ! I am so sorry to hear this devastating news.

I'm so sorry. It is so hard to lose a beloved furbaby. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you all. I am not handling this well at all. I am just devastated. I've never lost a cat this way. I keep thinking how scared she must have been in her last moments. My sister from Lake Mary came up and we took Cassie to PAWS, our vet; they will send her for cremation.

About 1/2 an hour after finding her I was sitting in my front den looking out the window when I saw huge wings fly by. I didn't see the body as it was blocked by the Sylvester. Could it have been a hawk with wings that big? The vet tech told my sister that they have had several clients cats killed by hawks.

My deepest sympathies. I feel your pain.

My heart aches for you. I am so sorry to hear about your kitty.

When the time is right, please adopt a new kitty or two. You will never forget Cassie but will find comfort in loving another.

I am so sorry about poor Cassie. It is so hard to lose one of our furry family members. I feel your pain. We lost one of our kitties the same way. My prayers are with you.

So so sorry for your loss! I've felt the pain and shed tears more than once in the past on the loss of a cat. But I can't even imagine how much it hurts for it to have happen this way. One time I swore there would be no more cats - no more hurt, but I was glad that soon after we adopted another. I encourage you to do the same soon. It really does help to numb the pain and there are plenty adorable little cuties out there that need our love where in return we get love and satisfaction back for it!

Thank you for your support. Cassie was my Mom's cat. She was about 3 or 4 years old; we got her from PAWS when she was about 1 year old. She was a rescue as all my cats have been. MY cat, Zoe, is 9 years old. She used to be my Avatar until recently. She's a beautiful Lynx-point Siamese mix. I'll change my Avatar back when I'm ready to post on someone else's thread again.

I know some people think why is she so upset?--it's just a cat. Thankfully, you pet-lovers know how I feel, esp because of the way she died.

Nobody's thinking that. A pet is a member of your family, and cats have as much personality as dogs (and are often smarter!) We all ache for you to have this happen, and especially in this way. They really can be escape artists, and as you can see with former posts, cats and dogs just plain get out at times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.
