You are a very responsible cat owner and you are allowing your cats a free'er life (of which they will value very highly!), unfortunatley incidents like C-fur dissapearing do occur every now and then..i hope he returns soon!

Luke have you head and seen her calling (the pabbling of the back feet) cos most queens dont start calling until they are about 9 months old some do younger but most dont Scarlott had only called 3 times before she was 1 then it went to every other week just before i mated her. so im guessing that Elsa is still a little young to have 3 or 4 calls

Re: Feeling of being picked on


no bobbie, wasnt you at all. everybody ehre has a right to thier opinion, i fully belive that.

jac is going through a diffuclt time for her, and the main issue here is she is very worreid about her lost cat.

i jsut felt it wasnt the right time to start having a go at her about not neutering her cats whilst she is so worried.

i do agree it is not a good idea to let your cat out to be mated by any old tom cat, no offense to anybody here.
but as i said this isnt the right time, i feel, to be having a dig at jac about neutering cats. she needs suport.

I dont have a problem with anybody on here who regularily uses this site. anywhere you go in life your going to occasionally have crossed words with people, thats life.


just hope Jac finds c-fur and all is well.

Re: Feeling of being picked on


Jac i am sorry to hear that he is not home yet, i cant think of anything to say that you have not done already (((hugs))) when Scarlott got out last year she was gone 8 days in the end i went though ppls gardens looking for her and thats when i found her


the reason i said what i did is cos i see how easy it is for cats to get out while calling or even start calling while out. the other cat lists im on it happens all the time to ppl that have had cats a long time 30+ years for this 1 lady it happend to. she has a busy house (just like Jac and Luke and meany more on here me as well have) she had her grand kids in and out and 1 of her 9 month old kittens got out. she was not calling and was back in 72 hours later. yes 9 weks later she had a litter of kittens the breeders was shocked as most of her girls from her line dont start calling till there about 14 months + old. maybe i should not say things so blunt but thats me i not just like that on here im like that face to face. i am not having a go at you im just saying what i think

I have put a dirty litter tray out. Some Tuna (his favourite) and posters in the local shops. Phoned all the Cat rescues locally and some not so local. All the local kids know he's missing and they will get a reward if they find him for me.
Anything Ive left out?
Have you printed off some flyers and put them through all the neighbours doors asking them to check outbuildings etc...?

I'm so sorry he isn't home yet Jac. Everything crossed that he will saunter in soon. I have had cats go missing for a fortnight and still return home, thin and hungry but home Keep your chin up girl!!

Re: Feeling of being picked on


Bobbie,
I work in rescue as you know and have seen many things I wish I hadn't. I have seen good and bad spaying/castrations. What works for me doesn't always work for others. I think I'm responcible, although I'm quick to agree mistakes do happen. I'm also of the oppinion that if it isnt broken dont fix it. I'm sure alot will disagree. When you have alot of people together nobody expects everyone to agree all the time. I felt you were very quick to jump in with.... you dont let an entire female out. As I have said I have had no kittens, nor is she pregnant.
I dont get involved with arguments, if I dont agree I will keep out unless I am asked what I think then I will give my oppinion and at the end of the day thats what it is an oppinion.
I have very strong veiws on breeding animals and keep them to myself.

I come here to chat, have a laugh and help anyone that needs a special word or advice if I'm in the position to give it.

Re: Feeling of being picked on


It's an added pain that it's Easter Jac. He could have got into someone's shed or garage without them seeing, they've shut it up and gone off with the kids for the weekend!
Don't give up hope - do the flyers and put them everywhere.

Printed some off earlier on. What a job I had getting a piccy without Purrdie in it! Put them in all the local shops and stores.
Think the kids are the best option for now though. They'd sell there souls for a few quid.
I'm a bit worried as they are building new houses just down the road from me. It was a field but the people that live near have been complaining of rats coming in from it to there gardens. Some have put down poison

Re: Feeling of being picked on


Fran, Dh thanks. I'm at my wits end here. It's so not C-Fur, he's just a big sook and loves sleeping with Ceilidh.
Maybe come back when it starts getting dark. Darryle's going down to where there building new houses in a wee bit.

Re: Feeling of being picked on


Just keep people looking Jac. When I found Misty she was only about ten houses down the road. Keep calling his name - he will hear it eventually and come running as he will be hungry.
