We also called the local emergency animal clinic and local emergency animal shelter. We're printing posters now. I cannot even think what life would be like without him. Please purr for us and if you have any suggestions let me know. -- Margaret Fine Oh Margaret, I'm so sorry. Purrs for Oliver to find his way back home. Are you sure he's not hiding in the house? Sherry Thanks Sherry! Turns out that he was in the house in a space we never knew existed under our buffet. I am glad that I found him because it was very hard to hear him and he could have died trapped under there. Thanks again! Margaret -- Margaret Fine |

He was trapped in the house. I was also thinking he was too scared to move but we're guessing he was probably napping under the buffet when it was moved and only decided to make noise when he wanted out to eat. He really didn't seem too fazed. In fact he went back under there ehwn my husband was trying to examine the space to make sure Oliver hadn't damaged anything. -- Margaret Fine |

THe kitties are all purring up a storm back home, as am I on the road. My suggestions would be: * Check really thoroughly that he's not hiding in the house, and * Check out sites like http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/lost_ct1.htm. Kitties behahavior changes redically when they get stuck outdoors. Dan M via Flying J WiFi from Troutdale, OR Thank you Dan. We found him trapped under our buffet so he was close to home the whole time. Those URLs you sent were very valuable to us and we really appreciate you sending them. -- Margaret Fine |

It is still possible that he is in the house because he might have gone into hiding when luggage was being taken out. Cats can hide in remarkably small places and may stay there for a long time, especially if frightened. Since he may be outside, I would suggest that you put out some treats to tempt him -- something like a cans of tuna fish so that he will notice the scent. *If it is safe,* leave your door cracked open and place a plate of tuna just inside the door. I had something similar happen many years ago, and I had to give up after hours of looking. I slept on a sofa near the door (open a crack with tuna inside, as I described). When I woke up, my cat was sitting on the sofa, looking down at me! MaryL Thank you for all the great suggestions! You were right, he was in the house. He was exploring and got trapped when we moved some furniture back. I did leave the door cracked open, hoping that he would show up. I feel sorry for my guests because I made them unpack their suitcases to make sure he hadn't crawled into them. He actually loves getting into them and laying on all the folded clothing! Thanks again! Margaret -- Margaret Fine |

Joy, we found him! I am positive that it was everyone's purrs that made
me look at just the eight time to see his little paw sticking out from under the buffet. He is getting extra kisses and tuna from all of us tonight! He doesn't seem to think being missing was a big deal but is accepting the tuna and kisses anyway! Margaret Yoj wrote: Purrs are on their way. -- Joy "Margaret Fine" wrote in message link.net...
