Still purring and praying for her to get herself home ASAP. I've told
Sootie to send the message that it's gone on too long now even for a BCT.

Thank you Judith and everyone. Today we put up posters further afield, then
I got a call whilst we were walking the woods tonight. A friend of a friend
has been feeding a black and white "stray" for the last 3 nights in the area
we had just put up posters! I got their contact info then we got a call
from them to say they had enticed the cat into their house. We drove round
but alas it wasn't Smudgie The cat they have been feeding is plump and
healthy looking and by having a quick "feel" I could also inform them it's a
neutered "he" and not a "she" cat! He is very pretty though! I think if
they stop feeding him chicken and turkey he will probably make his way home.
They have promised to take him to a vet to be scanned for a microchip if
he's still around in a day or so.

I got SO EXCITED when I read about the 'stray'; but he turned out not
to be Smudgie

But, on the BIG plus side, people ARE reading your posters, and ARE
responding to them, and that's a very good thing, indeed.

I would say that the bigger area you can put up posters, the better your
chances are of finding her.

Unfortunately, Smudgie could be almost anywhere by now.

I'm actually hoping somebody has taken her in, now, so she is getting
enough food. She's been on her own a LONG time now

My plan is that they will either take her to a vet, who will scan her
microchip, or they will see one of your posters.

I don't know about most people, but WHENEVER I see a poster in my
neighborhood, even if I'm in my car, I stop and read it, just in case.

It's really sad how many cats and dogs go missing, just in my
neighborhood

I've never found a missing local pet, but I have rescued 3 'strays'. One
of them was a neutered and declawed male, and despite weeks of trying, I
could not fine his humans

He wasn't found in my neighborhood, though. I found homes for all the
cats I rescued.

Purrs continue, of course, for Smudgie to be found ASAP.

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.
