Purrs for Otis' return!
-- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com "Susan M" wrote in message om... Hi all: I'm writing via google in an Internet cafe in Killarney, Ireland. Darn it will take a long time for this post to post! I just got a call from my father about Otis. He has escaped from the cat boarding place where I had taken him. He's been sighted multiple times by people in the neighbourhood and my brother actually had him in his arms at one point; however, nobody has been able to catch him yet. He's been gone three and a half days. When I dropped him off, I cried uncontrollably for a long time and kept thinking that this was the last time I was going to see him for some reason. I was concerned about one of the doors in the place and told her to only let him out when that door was secured as I thought he could pry the top open. I was so upset after I dropped him off that I wasn't sure what to do. Fred told me to go back and get the cats but instead I called the woman back and explained that, despite what other people said about their cats, mine really was an escape artist and that she had to be very *very* careful. She assured me that he would be fine and to go off and have a wonderful holiday. I felt so terrible about it for some reason that I wanted to go back and get him and I DIDN'T and I AM SICK ABOUT IT. I want to go home and find my Otis before he moves out of the neighbourhood. It is surrounded by busy streets and I don't want him hit by a car or moving on where nobody will find him. We're travelling on points and don't have a flexible ticket. I'll bet it would be thousands and thousands of dollars to get us all back to Canada. I really want that bad feeling that I had to be wrong. That I will see him again. The woman who owns the cat boarding place is in close affiliation with one of the cat rescue places in the city. They have given her two traps which they have baited with tuna and towels from our house. My parents and brother are phoning back the people who say that Otis was in their yard or doorstep and going to ask them to take some food and even prop their doors open when the food is out. They dropped off flyers all over the neighbourhood. The big problem is what to do with him if they find him. You can't carry a cat carrier around with you while you're tracking a cat - too big and it scares the cat. You just can't hold Otis very long though - he's 13.5 pounds of crazy athletic determined Siamese. There are tons of loose cats in the neighbourhood - I hate to think how many cats they might accidentally trap. The ironic part is that I took the cats to the boarding place so that I could save my family the agony of possibly losing him if Otis wandered too far when I was gone. Of course, the smartest thing was to have left him at home. I just didn't want to risk the coyotes if the cats stayed out at night. So, while my husband tries to put the kids to bed, I have run out to the Internet place to see if I could possibly ask for some purrs and prayers for little Otis to get back safely. I know that I've asked a lot from you lately. You're such a powerful group - you helped me get him back last year, which was a miraculous story. I really need him back. I need him to be safe and at my house. Purrs might also be needed by the owner of the cat place - my father says that she's close to collapse and hasn't slept in three nights. When I called her before I left, I was actually crying, saying that I couldn't bear to lose him again and to please be careful. Thank you and blessings, Susan M Otis and Chester |
