I found your blog via Google while searching for dog vets and your post regarding The Cat Doesn’t Always Come Back looks very interesting to me. I just wanted to write to say that you have a great site and a wonderful resource for all to share.

Well, we moved from Texas to New York so if he tried to go home, it’d be one of those “Incredible Journey” type stories! I honestly think someone has him–he’s a beautiful and extremely friendly cat. It’s impossible to get in or out of this neighborhood without seeing my large signs. We’ve called all the closest vets and shelters and he has that microchip. We drove around and put fliers in the mailboxes on all the streets that surround us. I’m trying not to lose hope but it’s getting harder with each passing day.

Barb, I really hope you find your cat! Do you think if you just moved he tried to “go home?” I knew someone whose cat tried to go back to their old house.

This really hit home with me because my cat is missing. He got out during our move eight days ago and we haven’t seen him since. I am heartbroken. We’ve done everything–contacted neighbors, called all of the shelters, posted fliers –and he has a microchip. I hope we get him back –things don’t seem right at all without him.

Our kitties have tags on their collars with my husbands cell number on it. I would hope if someone found them, they would call us. They don't go out often, but during the summer they like to spend a couple hours outside. Thanks for the post. Miranda's last blog post..Extended Breastfeeding

I don't know how many times growing up my family would find friendly, lost cats sitting on our front door-steps wanting to be let inside. A couple were cats that belonged to neighbors, but usually they were beat-up long-lost strays. A few stayed with us in our garage or porch while we figured out if the Humane Society had room for them, which, luckily, they always did. It just really makes me sad that so many people think its ok to allow a cat to freely roam outdoors. I used to feed the ferals that would hang around in my back yard when I was a kid, and I tamed one once! He was a gorgeous black cat with red/rust coloration on his belly and legs. He used to come up to me to get cheese and pets, after weeks of tempting him to come closer for a treat. Not long after, I saw him dead on the side of the highway. If a person really is concerned for the well-being of their cats, why on earth would they let them roam the streets? It's seriously risking the life of their cat!

We always check with the neighbors first. I know how it feels to have your pet escape and not know where he/she is. One of our cats pulled the same disappearing act one extremely cold winter day. The good thing is, we lived in an apartment building and he always wanted to go to the neighbor upstairs so that is where we found him. There is a dog in our neighborhood that escapes once a year and comes to our house where we find him in the back yard. This has happened so often that we now know him by name and call him if we see him running. We never would have thought of calling animal control right away when finding him for the first time. We were ready to march up and down the block to find the owner; the good thing is, the owners found us first. B Carter's last blog post..Daisy The Curly Cat - Picture 8
