Aww Luke I don't know what to say X Big hugs to you (remember that thread just after christmas about the cat who returned after 15 months... BJ I think it's name was) |

It'll be two months next Monday. Not a hide nor hair of her still, nothing from posters/shelters/vets/neighbours. Before any suggestions are made, as helpful as I know they are intended, we really have tried everything. I think it's two choices, to continue to wait and put a halt on life until she returns, well if she returns. Or, to get on with things...to always live in the hope she'll be back one day, but to move forward a bit. My apology's if the latter sounds harsh, but I feel as if since she's been gone everythings been let slip, the boys are growing up everyday yet their youth seems to be being ignored due to exhuasting every option in hunt for their ma. I can't explain what I mean without sounding totally callas and unfeeling. I will always live in the hope she will return, and in the grand scheme of things two months isn't that much, but the fact there have been no sightings etc of her..leaves me quite cold inside, so...yes, thought I ought to update. |

Hello Luke! i was only wondering about you this morning ... Vulcan mind transfer eh? I'm sorry you haven't come with good news. We love our cats for their independence and sometimes (fortunately not too often) this is the payback. They vanish. Poor DM is feeling the same about the lovely Onyx. I'm sorry. She may saunter in one day but you're right, will probably not. Do what I suggested Dm does - in the absence of evidence to the contrary - believe that she is happily esconsed in a new home. We've had the opposite - had a young cat walk in and we never found where he came from (and this is when I was a kid living at home in the village pub. We knew everybody and asked everybody) |

Thanks DM, i had a feeling you'd be one who got what I meant I live in the hope she returns, or at least is safe and happy somewhere. However, as most am quite aware, I'm quite a realist person..and if the fatal has happened and she is no longer here, albeit it was a short one..she lead a good life, she was loved, she was cared for, she was adored, she shared her life with Clementine and the dogs, she brought a lot of love into this house, she raised her kittens well and lives on through her four babies and, it's not nice to think but I stand by the addage in reference to cats, better to have lived a natural life regardless of length than a manicured and un-natural life too them. And no, that's not a pop at house cats! |

I'm sorry to hear that Luke but she had a lovely life and I believe that she is somewhere she was so beautiful that it quite possivly that she was picked up as a present for someone and has a lovely home. At least you have her boys a living memory of her. |

I'm sorry Luke, but sometimes as you say you just have to be realistic. I lost one of my cats to a RTA aged 18 months, at least I knew what had happened to her. Another one simply vanished, like Bella. I never did find out what happened to her. Both were thoroughly spoilt while I had them, and neither would have lost their lives so early had they been housecats. We make a choice. I prefer to give my cats an independent, natural life too. |
