A user expresses concern over their missing cat, who has been gone since Sunday, coinciding with sightings of a bobcat and coyote in the area. The neighborhood is flooded with flyers about the missing cat, and another cat friend has been meowing outside. Participants share personal experiences of their own cats disappearing for extended periods, often returning unexpectedly. Suggestions include checking local shelters, filing lost pet reports, and searching nearby hiding spots. Humor is injected into the conversation with jokes about cats having secret lives and the idea of simply replacing a lost pet, which sparks a lighthearted debate about the value of cats as companions versus possessions. The discussion highlights the emotional distress of losing a pet while also offering hope and practical advice for finding them.

This is a talent that shouldn't be wasted on a cat. Have you applied for work at the Clinic?

Cats need to go on adventures sometimes. I'm sure your cat is having a great voyage of self discovery. Perhaps she has gone to London to visit the queen. My cat went missing for a whole year once and when she got back she was all wild and hardcore and she wouldn't eat her food unless I jiggled it around and made small furry mammal noises.
That could be right esp. if she would get a rich boyfriend.

No worries. I have lots of hiding places that I can get to before she makes it across the pond.

So what's the news on the cat? Has the cat returned? It's been about a week now.

I don't want to make you feel bad by saying this, but that's one of the cruelest things that can be done to a cat. It actually involves surgical removal of the last joint on every toe. Their ability to walk properly is impaired (although it might not be obvious watching them), they can't land as they should from a jump (or a jump-shot, in your case), and they are almost completely defenseless. Besides all that, the recovery period is very painful and it's easy to get an infection whilst digging in the litter box. It's far better to hold the sucker down and go at it with the nail clippers every couple of months.
That being said, I hope you find her soon. I'd freak if Lucy ever got out and took off, so I know what you're going through.
