Good vibes needed for lost kitty!

[Biciclista]

I'm envisioning your sweet catfriend safe in your arms again. My childhood kitty, Tabitha, disappeared during a stretch of wintry weather and when she didn't come home, we assumed she, in her old tough, independent way, had gone off to die in solitude. We missed her and were very sad, as we didn't think the old girl would have survived the snow and ice. About a week later, the family had just started talking about adopting another kitten someday -

and an outraged Tabitha appeared at the front door.

Angels In Charge of Our Animal Friends - please guard Zorro and bring him home!

she hasn't found him yet (that i know of) but I love hearing stories of cats coming back.

Put up flyers. We have a constant visitor I have dubbed "Charlie" that sleeps on my porch or in my shrubs, even lets me pet him or comes and sits with me while I am planting flowers. I am mindful not to feed him so he will go home because being a friendly guy I know he must be a pet (no collar). Maybe someone found Zorro and started feeding him since he is a pet cat and was friendly to them? Wishing you the best, we had a cat Sylvester growing up that would disappear for weeks it was so stressful but he came back.

Oh, this just breaks my heart. I don't know what I'd do if Ruthie ever got outside. It's nice to see all these happy endings, I truly hope your story turns out the same.

Cecil was about that age and on daily medication for hyperthyroidism when he went walkabout. Gone for 6 weeks!!!

I'm a vet but I had given him up as gone. One day I was working on a dog for a down-the-road-about-half-a-mile neighbor and I showed her Cecil's picture.

Cecil was home within an hour. I'm certain that she had him or knew who did and went right home and turned him loose. He had lost a lot of weight but he needed his meds.

I'll send prayers and positive thoughts for you finding your kitty.

Quick update...I haven't seen or heard him, but last night something ate the food left on the porch. It's been out for two nights and this is the first night that it's been eaten. I know it could be another cat, or racoon, or whatever...but it still gives me hope!

I also love reading the happy ending stories. They really lift my spirits!

I have a happy ending story. A friend of mine was in India when one of the people subletting her NYC apartment accidentally let her cat out. All of her NY friends went looking, and couldn't find the cat. When she heard they were giving up after several days of looking, my friend left India and flew back to NY. Within a couple of hours of returning home, she found the kitty in the neighboring building's basement!

My mother also found her neighbor's cat in the basement. It had fallen through the window and broken her leg. She didn't make any noise, so know one knew she was down there. She was okay after a trip to the vet!

I'm keeping up hope!

Here are some more happy endings.

Dusty: We had just moved to a canyon area near LA and on move-in day, amidst the boxes and commotion, our oldest cat Dusty, took off. We put up posters, walked around calling her name.... It was a remote area, full of coyotes and we were so fearful that was it. One week later, DP was out walking calling her name when she heard a faint meow from down below in a valley. Tramped through the scrubrush to find an abandoned camper trailer with one scared but happy Dusty cat hiding underneath. Apparently the trailer was too low to the ground for the coyotes to get underneath.

Boo-Boo: In his younger years, he used to go out during the day and come back in at night. After these couple of experiences, he spent the rest of his life as an indoor kitty and seemed to content to keep it that way. ALL our cats became indoor kitties after these trials with Boo-Boo. (a) Did not come home one evening. Looked, called... 2 days later while out searching, heard his meow, could not figure out where it was coming from and finally found him behind a basement/crawlspace screened window of the neighbor's house. He had gotten in and could not figure out how to get out. (b) Took off one day and did not come home. Days passed, weeks... The local animal shelter (who we were in touch with) called one day saying they had found a cat matching his description, dead, hit by a car. Because the cat was not looking good, they didn't want us to look inside the box that they gave to bury. We buried this cat, cried and cried and went on with life. TWO MONTHS later, a meow at the front door at 5:30 AM and there sat Boo-Boo looking no worse for the wear. Some cat had a nice burial but it was not Boo-Boo, who was only 3 at the time. We just lost him last year at the age of 19 and had many wonderful years with him.

Sending positive thoughts that Zorro will find his way back home.

what a funny story~!
I have some too.
My cat disappeared, not an outside cat. after 24 hours i was worried. I had a friend who was an astrologer and she did a chart for me. She said "your cat is being held prisoner by someone else who is a prisoner!" i thought, this is really silly, who would be a prisoner... but wait! my neighbors had a dog that was chained up to a huge tree. We went out back in that direction, and sure enough, we heard faint meowing, the cat was in the tree and couldn't come down because BUDDY the dog wouldn't let him. When the neighbors got home, we convinced them to take Buddy inside and the cat climbed down the tree and ran like mad for home.
