Update on the lost Tibb

We set out a trap last night and stayed up until 3:45 a.m. We caught 2
cats, but not Tibb. I am getting scaired. The 2 we caught were small
and very lively. Tibb is 15 years old. He can run, but nothing like
the 2 we caught. Everyone in the campground is seeing and hearing cats!

Purrs and prayers that Tibb comes back to you soon!

Years ago, my first cat ran outside. This was very frightening because he
was an indoor cat, and I had moved to a new apartment just a few days
before. So, I did not know if he would recognize that apartment as "home."
In addition to some of the other suggestions that have been made, here is
what I did. I left the front door open just a small amount--enough for a
cat to enter but not a person--and I pushed a chair up against the door so I
would hear it if the door were pushed open. I put his favorite canned food
in a bowl just inside the door and also a bowl of rather "stinky" cat food.
I pushed a sofa close to that door and slept there all night, hoping I would
be aware if he entered. I woke up to find him sitting on the arm of the
sofa and staring down at me. I can't even begin to describe how ecstatic I
was.

LOL, and probably thinking, "What is the bizarre two-foot doing *now*?"

I can't even begin to describe how ecstatic I was.

I'll bet! Glad you had a happy ending. Kathy, I hope Tibb gives you a
happy ending ASAP! (Still purring.)

Thanks, MaryL. Yes, we have left the motorhome door, even the screen
door open ever since he left. This campground is so great that I still
feel safe leaving the door open.
