Smudgie is Lost! But I Know Where She Is!!!!

Perhaps she wanders to the other end of the woods at night after the lady sees her at 9.30? I don't know what to think anymore. We are going to set the trap around 9pm when its cooler and starting to turn dark. Then we sit and wait .... Sharon Maybe a trap where the lady seen her also? Prayer / purrs on way. |

Smudgie is Lost! But I Know Where She Is!!!!
Purrs and prayers continuing. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. Thank you. Well we sat and waited, and waited, but nothing. I suppose it would have been unlikely we trapped her on the first try anyway. I got up at 5 this morning and had a wander through the woods but all I saw was a deer (which was great nonetheless). We are trying the trap again tonight but I will also try scattering some of her litter in the area close to it too. Not sure where I read it now (I've been on hundreds of missing pet websites in the last week or so!) but apparently the smell of her own litter should over-ride any smells of wildlife to her nose. Worth a try. Good news soon I hope! Thank you for all the continuing purrs. Sharon |

Worth a try. Good news soon I hope! Thank you for all the continuing purrs. Sharon I hope you weren't waiting within sight of the trap(s), because I think that would most likely keep Smudgie AWAY from the trap, unfortunately. Smudgie is very scared right now, and is trying to avoid people. So, if she sees, or even hears you, she may stay out of sight, and not come near the trap, with the food in it that she badly needs So I would recommend setting the trap(s) in the woods, baited with ham, tuna or sardines, and going away. Then, check the trap(s) every few hours. Good luck, and the purrs continue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

"pat Chlebowski" wrote in message ... Sharon, did you find Smudgie yet??? I checked for a post and found nothing... Please update us..... Hi Pat Sorry I didn't update yesterday but I had no news and I was so upset about it all I probably would have posted some "woe is me" thing and made myself look stupid! But, today was a new day and it would now appear Smudgie is in 2 places at once! A lady who lives next to the allotments at our side of the estate swears that Smudgie has been hanging around the flats there for food for the past few nights. I figured that made sense, it's nearer to home and literally less than 50 paces from where her collar was found. I felt better thinking she was there and with 5 old ladies on "cat lookout" from their windows every evening we would find her in no time. The trapping at the woods hadn't helped and the lady dog walker hadn't seen Smudgie in the wood since Thursday. So, we wandered around the allotment and spoke to a few of the gardeners there and 2 of them said they had seen a cat matching her description hanging around there recently. We found no sign of her so made our way home and then got a call from "dog walker lady" saying she had seen her just that minute going into the woods! We rushed there but were totally unprepared and had forgotten the torch etc So, it is possible Smudgie is wandering from the allotments to the woods but it's a half mile trek and so I am assuming it's 2 different cats that are being sighted. Dilema - which one is Smudgie, if either? Both the lady by the allotments and "dog walker lady" claim they saw her at the same time on Thursday evening. When "dog walker lady" rang she said Smudgie had been sitting under a parked car but Smudgie was always so scared of cars, but was that just at home and now something has changed? "Dog walker lady" is a vet nurse, and carries Smudgie's photo everywhere so maybe I should trust her judgement when she says it's Smudgie? I really can't figure this one out, and of course I've not seen either cat so have no idea if Smudgie is one of them or not! Off to bed, brain hurts lol Thanks you for all the continuing purrs Sharon |
