Lost our cat today 1/31
We are having some tiling done in the house and the door was inadvertently left open today and our cat has taken a walk. He's an orange short hair cat with a white chest and is a big fella weighing in at about 15 lbs! We live on Kittredge Loop in Briar Meadow and I'm guessing he may not have gone far and has found a quiet place to sleep! His name is d"Artagnan - not sure if he knows that. If anyone sees him please call Allan or Jocelyne at 693-2078. Please don't chase him.

I'm sorry to hear that you cat has gone for a walk, but, hopefully, if you leave a door cracked open for the next few days, he will return home. A vet told our neighbor to do that, and it worked. Good luck!

Thanks - we have a door open for him. We have a notice up at the mail box center, called Community Watch and WVLG. Unfortunately it appears that someone chased him while trying to catch him and I'm hoping he hasn't gone too far. So we think he'll be OK - but you do get attached to the darn things and worry about them!!!!!

Leave an open can of tuna -- the smell may get him home (seems to work better than cat food). I hope he comes home soon. I know how gut-wrenching it is to have one stray, even for a short time.

Oh Bowlees,
I'm sending a virtual hug, along with prayer that he'll find his way home. Please let us know. |

If you need help looking for him tomorrow, please let us know. What village are you in?

Hope your cat returns. I have two cats and if they wondered off I too would be upset. Leave out the tuna and we should come back.

Thanks for all of your suggestions - there is now tuna outside the front and back door! We live on Kittredge Loop in Briar Meadow and have several of our neighbors looking. Of course another pair of eyes would not hurt but to be honest we feel quite sure he's found a warm spot for the night or someone has taken him in. I'm thinking that with the notice up at the mail box that if we hear nothing after mail time tomorrow then we should start to worry. Thanks for all of your kind suggestions.

With open cans of tuna by your doors, you will definitly have a cat by morning. It may not be your cat, but it will be a cat...or a dog...or Fumar.
I am sure your little one is having a ball hunting critters outside and will come home from his little vacation soon! |

It really isn't all that uncommon for a cat to stray for several days, so don't give up hope. If he's healthy, he should be okay, especially since he's a big guy. The beautiful weather may keep him out a bit longer.
I had one cat that was a great escape kitty. I would leave the garage door open about 6 inches and the laundryroom door open. Sooner or later, his majesty would come in -- usually in the middle of the night and sopping, wringing wet. He would pr9mptly jump on the bed to let me know he was home and to give me the pleasure of drying him off (after he soaked me and the bed, or course). Hopefully, your guy will be kind enough to come home nice and dry.

I have had cats all of my life and never once did an escape artist not return.
I am hoping that you will be petting that pretty kitty very soon. Keeping my paws crossed. Sending hugs. |

Latest news is that he spent the night in a neighbors garage - about 10 houses away. He ran out when they opened the garage door this morning. We walked around but haven't found him but knowing he is that close after a night out we fell confident he'll turn up today. We'll keep you all posted.
