I'm willing to bet that Sammy is also pretty close to home, wherever he
is. Purrs that he is someplace out of the weather, until he gets home! We're thinking that too. We've gone over every place in and around the house where we think a cat could possibly fit (or even think about). We've gone through the abandoned house next door twice (but we tell the police that , have walked all the nearby streets out several blocks, and have handed out flyers with color photos to neighbors and to both vets and the local shelter. Not near to giving up yet! |

Perhaps stating the obvious: you could print out, or have printed (xeroxed) some text type fliers; LOTS of them. And then put one in EVERY mailbox in a three block radius. Or further. Enough time has passed, and I'm sure you have fliers on phone poles, etc. Perhaps someone has him and doesn't want to give him back. Or simply doesn't know he is lost. But if their neighbors know about the situation, they might intervene in your behalf. The reason I say this is because a long time ago I saw numerous fliers for a lost cat. (I ALWAYS read fliers on the phone poles in the neighborhood). There was a color photo of a white cat with orange spots. A few days later, while on a walk, I saw a young girl playing with a cat, that was tied up, almost out of sight of the front sidewalk. I went around to the alley. I talked to the child, and (about 6 YO) and she told me that they had 'found' the cat, recently. It looked *exactly* like the flier; I even went and got one, so I could compare. Same cat, without a doubt. The mother came out and yelled up one side and down the other, when I told her about the cat. I called the owner, and they had a terrible time getting the cat back. The little girl had fallen in love with the cat, and the parents were dead set on keeping it. I even got a call from the police, wanting to hear my story directly. I don't know exactly what happened, but the original owners got their cat back, and I got a threatening phone call from the people who had tried to keep the cat. (Idiots: caller ID! I reported it, of course.) I hope there is nowhere near the drama involved, but I'm hoping somebody has Sammy, and thinks he's 'just' a stray. You are getting basically the same weather I am, (cold and nasty) and I hate to think that Sammy is outside, on his own. I hope he is safe, somewhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

These people sound about as bright as the guy who's dog I picked up on a 4
lane highway. I tried to locate him with flyers in the area where I found the dog. When I got no calls I finally took the dog to the local shelter. That evening he calls me, he's drunk and tells me he wants his dog. I told him I took it to the shelter since I couldn't possibly keep it here with my three. I gave him the phone number of the shelter. He yells at me for picking him up. I yelled back at him .....if I hadn't he be a bloody splat in the highway right now and you wouldn't have a damned dog. Two days later I get this nasty phone call from his mother yelling at me for picking the dog up because it cost him $150.00 to get the dog back. I thought serves him right maybe next time the ass won't let the dog loose to run.

Sending lots of GYFBHN purrs and thoughts for Sammy
to do just that! When my family has had escapees, they've always ended up being very close to home, and the same with Helen M's Robbie, when he was practicing his Ninja skills. All had happy endings. Here's hoping that Sammy is just around the corner, but perhaps too spooked to come right out. I'll make sure the Fairfax Fur Factory keeps the purrs up for Sammy to get back home quickly! (And now you know why I can't work at the shelter...I'd have 'em all home if I could. Makes me wish I could afford a big house with lots of land...) Purrs and good thoughts!
