I Almost Thought I Lost My Cat Today!


This afternoon, I had a real scare. It was around 6:00pm today, the time I usually feed my cats, and I could not find my cat Ringo! I should tell you guys that Paulie is gone! He disappeared last week. I still miss him! And that's why I thought that Ringo was gone too. I kept calling out his name in the front yard, backyard, and my neighborhood. I couldn't stop crying and I was having a hard time eating dinner. After dinner, I got in my car and drove around my neighborhood and looked for him. As I was cleaning the kitchen, guess who showed up at the glass door? My Cat! As soon as I heard him meow, I started crying tears of joy. So I let him in, I chased him down, and I picked him up. I sat down for a bit to pet him. I'm so happy I found my cat! I still miss Paulie and love him, but Ringo was the one I picked out of the litter. I'm so Glad he's back! He better not come back late again! Another reason why I'm paranoid about losing my cat is because a lady who lives a few streets away from me had six cats poisoned. Poor woman! She's left signs all over the place to warn pet owners and to call animal control if their pet disappears. I'm so glad I didn't have to do that! Well, that's all I have to say about that. To those who lost their pets, I know your pain!

Oh my goodness, I could not imagine losing a pet that way, I am so glad you found him. I love all animals as you know, but if I had a cat I could not open the door and let him or her go to play all day and hope for their return. Guess that is why my dogs are with me all the time. But I am so happy Ringo is home and safe. Watch out for the neighbors.

I am so happy Ringo returned home - better late than never!

My ex got a puppy several weeks back and the kids have fallen head over heels for her. Maddie's the cutest little thing - looks just like a panda. I met her when she was just 6 weeks old and, at 7 weeks she disappeared.

I had a hard time with it and would cry every time I thought about her. I even said a little doggie prayer for her at night. There were times I would have to actually tell myself not to think about her.

In the meantime I got them in touch with the local animal shelter and they put a lost puppy ad on the website, but to no avail.
Two weeks passed with no word, and that's a long time for a helpless little puppy to be away. We thought she may have been taken by an eagle flying over. It has happened.

Then the good news!!
Someone brought her into the local vet clinic to get her shots. The clinic personel recognised her and returned Maddie to her home.

I was so happy when the kids told me! I'd been having a bad day, but things turned around when I got that particular piece of good news!

Ringo, stay close to home! Chick loves you!
