Isn't that the truth?

No sign of her as of this morning.

My downstairs neighbor, who works at home and who walks her two dogs
a few times a day, said she'd be glad to take me around and show me
the spots where she's seen Smudge hanging out, while she (my neighbor)
has made the rounds of the neighborhood. That could be helpful,
because if any of those places are in people's yards, I could ask
the people to check their garage/basement etc.

I'll be putting more signs up today, and visiting the holding area
at the local Animal Control (just in case) and dropping off a flyer
there, too.

Also, I think I should put an ad on craigslist, an online bulletin
board (website) that is used by a *lot* of people. A good friend of
mine got her dog back via that site. Her dog was seen wandering in
a bad and non-residential area, and was taken in by an animal
rescuer - lucky doggy! The rescuer read craigslist every day in hope
of finding the dog's person, and there was my friend's lost-dog post!

Smudge hasn't been an indoor/outdoor cat for very long - only 6 months.
In that time, she has never been gone overnight before (I always bring
her in at night). But she could have some wandering instincts that I
just haven't had a chance to see before, and doesn't mean she won't be
back in a day or two. That's what I've been telling myself, anyway.

Our local newspaper runs lost and found pet ads. And they runs the ones for
found pets free.

Here's hoping Smudge is just hanging out inside somewhere and gets out and
heads home ASAP.

Continuing purrs, you must be beside yourself with worry. :-(

Has it occured to you that if you just keep her in where she is safe you
might
avoid all of this worry?

It's terrible not knowing


I keep thinking I hear her meowing at the door. This morning I was
petting Licky, who was curled up in front of me while I was at the
computer. All was peaceful until I heard what I was sure was Smudge
at the front door. I leapt up and ran to the door. Of course, nobody
was there, and when I turned around, I saw Licky crouching under the
rocking chair, looking very wary, poor boy! Every time I hear any
kind of high-pitched sound - a kid yelling, a door squeaking, etc -
I think it's Smudge. I really hate not knowing.

I was out all day today, knocking on doors and leaving flyers when
nobody answered. So far, I haven't heard anything from anybody,
although when I've actually spoken to neighbors - people I myself
hadn't even met before - they all knew who Smudge was. She's a very
friendly cat and apparently has gotten to know many people in the
neighborhood. (Which also makes me wonder - what if someone decided
they wanted her to become *their* cat? Their *indoor* cat?)

What could have happened to her? If she was hit by a car, wouldn't
someone have seen her lying in the road? Wouldn't I have seen her?
She wears a collar with ID, so if someone did hit her and they took
her to the vet, I should have gotten a call. That's why I think she's
probably in someone's garage or something like that. Or maybe she
got lost. Do cats get lost? I thought they had a good sense of
direction.

Bumming out,
Joyce
