Got here late (as usual) but delighted his little s*dship is safe and well It's apparently almost always the case that an indoor cat who gets out will be found "gone to ground" and too nervous to respond to calls within a very short distance from its home (territory), as they've never established an outdoor territory for themselves.

My elderly neighbour thought that Milo had actually bitten Tiger, hence the panic. ( Interestingly enough, what you say about indoor cats is true. Robbie was indoor in the USA, and he crept out when my folks were on vacation without the pet sitter noticing FOR A WEEK!!! and he went to ground. Fortunately, Chris-the-RPCA-lurker, went and sorted the situation out for me, and apparently Robbie was in the log pile under the deck.

I'm so glad to read this!
Natasha did the same thing to me on Friday - I wasn't home, and my dad left the door to the garage open, and the outside garage door was open too, so Tasha decided to take a little walk. No idea how long she'd been out (her MIA status was discovered when I got home), but I found her on the back porch, alternately pawing at the back door and looking in the window trying to get back in (it was sunny but chilly yesterday). One cool cat! (and she showed absolutely *no* interest in her usual begging to go out in the evening) I wonder if HRFL and Natasha both had a bit too much celebration for St Pat's Day?

So pleased to hear you found him, not far away and only frightened. Deb. When we were at the vet yesterday, they had the radio collars on display. I think it was $99 for the collar and $199 for the tracking unit. Too much to afford and besides I have very poor luck with keeping a collar on a cat. But affordable enough to make one feel very guilty if a dog or cat goes missing. I've known a few dogs who would make the thing a very good investment. One is the Border Collie next door who does not understand the concept of coming when he is called. And my brother used to have a Husky who really liked to go for unsupervised runs. Jo |
