missing cat
Purposely trying to keep this matter of fact, without any expressions of grief,
I'm curious to know if I've covered all the bases, and what the probabilities might be, hoping to learn from the experience of others. One of my cats disappeared last weekend. The last time I saw him was Friday evening, when he had a meal with my other cats. I've called Animal Rescue, Animal Control, and all of the local vets. I also visited Animal Control on the advice of Animal Rescue. I put up 'missing cat' signs where they couldn't be missed by cars entering the neighborhood. I've talked to four of the neighbors, and walked around the streets several times looking for signs of a cat being run over or attacked by a predator. I've looked in the bushes near the streets, and even went into the basement of an unoccupied house for rent, with a flashlight. There has not been a single clue thus far. I'm scheduled to talk to another neighbor this evening. Has it been the experience of others that cats who disappear without a trace have later been found to have been kidnapped or purposely killed, or has some other cause been determined to be likely? Also, is there something that I haven't done that should have been done to find the cat, dead or alive? The cat is a healthy adult neutered male gold tabby, that has been vetted, but is not wearing his tag. Normally he stays away from my house, in wooded areas of my yard, but I don't believe he is a far-traveler. The wetter or colder the weather, the closer he stays to the house, and he often hangs out with one of my other cats when he is close by. Sometimes he will skip a meal or two, but never fail to show up the next day. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Calvin Rice |
