Missing Cat: Neighborhood Search Since Sunday

[Danger]

I jiggled it around and made small furry mammal noises.

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

 

[icvotria]

Did I say that?! Put it back in context!

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.

What, and ruin a perfectly good fantasy?

No just save your life

No just save your life

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

 

[JamesU]

what's this thread come to?!

 

[Astronuc]

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

 

[Nylex]

Poor kitcat .

 

[JamesU]

no, she's still missing. I can't believe that we haven't gone to the animal shelter yet, but we're going today

 

[JamesU]

today, my dad visited the shelter and we found nothing. we thought we found here and picked a cat up when we realized it had front claws, our cat had her front claws removed

our cat had her front claws removed

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.
