Smudgie is Lost!

Don't forget the kids in your neighborhood. With the promise of a few
dollars they will scour the neighborhood for you - especially now that
they're out of school and have nothing to do but play all day. *And*
they're small enough to get into place an adult couldn't, and are more
persistant than an adult would be. A cat search could be a really fun
game to play especially if they can look forward to a small reward to
spend on ice cream or candy!

Hugs,

The kids here don't break for summer for another few weeks. However, here
is a high school at the other end of our road so I dotted lots of the
posters on lamp posts around there so the kids can't miss seeing them on
their way home. I didn't put about a reward on the leaflet but told the
kids who saw me putting them up that there was a reward for whoever found
her and figured word would spread! I asked the local primary school about
putting up a poster but they weren't interested so I have been stopping
and talking to the younger kids I see on my walkabouts and letting them
know too.

Thank you for the suggestion
Sharon

We're still purring and praying for you and Smudgie - don't give up home,
we've had cats here who gone "walk about" for weeks and a time and finally
make their way home. I know how terrible that feels, however, the not
knowing, so we sending lots and lots of hugs your way
also...{{{{{{{{{{Sharon}}}}}}}}}}.

Thank you again everyone. We got a call around 11 last night to say a cat
matching her description had been seen in the back garden of an empty
house - 100 yards away from our garden diagonally. We went round with
torch etc but there was no sign of her. I went back round this morning
armed with a step ladder (garden is enclosed by an 8 ft wall) and spent
half an hour looking and calling but no luck. I have to go into work for
3 hours this morning so I have left my mobile number on my home answering
machine and will take her carrier etc with me just in case I get another
call. The couple who rang me last night will keep a close eye out for her
today and try to entice her with food. If they cant get her to come to
them they will ring me and I will go straight round and have another try.
Only downside is the cat they saw looks as though her back legs may be
injured

Looks like the purrs may be working

Sharon
p.s. got a baby monitor ready for tonight

Ohhhhh, this has GOT to work..do you happen to have a laser pointer for her
to chase? I thought of that last night . About the kitty's legs, don't
worry until you see it/her,
then you can deal with it.
Mosey is purring and I am praying sweetie
Love

chased a cat over our fence and kept on running. She has never been out of
the garden before so I am super worried. I have been walking the streets
calling her name and shaking her food box but no luck. She is scared of
strangers so will not approach anyone for help. I have put leaflets thru
doors and on lamp posts etc. I am so worried and am hoping the "power of
the purrs" will help guide her home.

Thank you so much
Sharon

Your mama wants you home, Smudgie. We're purring for you to come back.
Please.

Blessed be,
Baha

Just a quick update to say there's still no news so we are going to do a
midnight walkabout tonight with torches to shine under all the shrubs around
here.

Getting so worried now

I wasn't around to see this yesterday so am coming in a bit late.
Boyfie is sending his best GYFB home purrs, he only has a very quiet purr,
but Smudgie should hear them as she is a Brit.
You've done the best thing by putting up posters in the neighbourhood which
is what I did, and I see downthread you've already had a call with a
possible sighting.
If she is, indeed, in the garden of the empty house with an 8 foot wall
around it, with a back leg injury as suggested, it may not necessarily be a
bad thing - she may have sustained a minor injury jumping down and it may
mean she cannot get out. If the garden is overgrown she will probably be
hiding, frightened about how she suddenly got lost.

If the house is for sale and has a board outside, you might approach the
estate agents to see if they will let you have a key to get in a side gate
so you can look for her which will save you scaling 8' up a ladder.

You must be desperately worried and I am feeling for you.
Is she microchipped? I only ask because if she continues to panic and gets
more lost, she will eventually have to present herself somewhere to beg for
food.
Microchipping is the only realistic way to get your cat back or know what
happened.
Lots of luck finding her very soon, Sharon.

Oh, btw, if you live in a quiet place where children play out, as I do, show
the smaller ones her photo and ask them to be cat detectives and find her.
They love this sort of thing and may be too short to see your posters.

Still purring and praying for her to come to you.
I'm not sure where you live, but you might try a laser pointer dot for her
to chase..
then you can grab her.
And take some nip with you too? Some treats..
I'm out of ideas...
Bless your hearts.
Love and best GYFBH wishes to Smudgie
She isn't lost, you just cant find her.

My goodness, no wonder you are worried! I'm so sorry, I hope Smudgie
will find her courage to make her way home to you safely. I'll get
Francesca on Purr Patrol when I get home and set out the homing
beacons so that Smudgie will return safe and unharmed.

Do you have access to a trap you could set?

Enlisting the help of the neighborhood children is a *great* idea. They
generally go everywhere, so they might see Smudgie, somewhere an adult
might not go.
