Lost cat

[Syvelocin]

When I found out Ana got out, I didn't react as much at first. Now, I feel like I'm increasingly getting bothered by her absence. That cat hated me, but I think I may cry over her eventually.

I'm always hearing her meow, always hoping when I drive by the creek around our house that I'll just see her there. Everytime the phone rings, I'm hoping it's someone who has found her and responding to the sign we put out.

It's not as bad as it would be if I lost my own baby, the cat I treat as if he's my own son. Mizzy is everything to me. My mum got him for me at a time in my life where I was really struggling with depression and such, and he's been great for me emotionally. I would be out there 24/7 looking for him if it was him who got out, never giving up. But all day I've been thinking about her. Maybe also because her absence has taken a toll on my own cat. They've become very close playmates, and now Miz seems so... melancholy.

I've gone through deaths of pets before. But losing Ana like that... I think it's harder, because you don't know if she'll turn up on the doorstep one day, or if she'll be run over by a car or if she's already been run over. You don't know if someone found her and decided to keep her instead of trying to find the owner. You just don't know.

I been through that situation with cats quite a few times. Like you say, its horrible just not knowing what's happened and whether there is still hope of her coming back. One of our cats disappeared for several weeks last year, we'd given up all hope, then one day she was just there at the food bowls eating with the others. We never did find out where she had been but she's not been missing again since.

I hope your cat may yet return, if not then you have my sympathy.

I'm so sorry about you're cat Rith. I really hope it returns. Try posting at local shelters and animal hospitals. Check shelters at least every two days by phone because if they have the cat they will only keep it two days. I hope everything goes well.

sounds like you two where frenemys but didn't notice it. what you should do is wait and let fate take it's course when you think of her do mental math or something you hate or love.
