Princess, our 16-year-old Siamese, had started losing weight, so we have
an appointment for her with TED (thinking it is most likely a dental

in so we could get her there. (While all our cats are indoor/outdoor,
she is old and mostly stays inside, just occasionally going out on the
deck to lie in the sun when it's warm weather.)

When we started talking, we realized we hadn't either of us seen her
since last night sometime after I went to bed.

Which is odd. She almost always is asleep on the laptop in John's
office, or on the arm of the couch in my office all day long.

We don't know if she is pulling a BCT because she figured out we are
going to take her to TED; if is really ill and has gone off because she
just figured to die (no! please no...); is stuck somewhere that we don't
know about (though we checked all the usual suspects for that); or is
getting senile; or what!

So we could use "get your furry butt HOME, Princess!" purrs, please.
Thank you.

I hope she is just hiding in a particularly good spot, which you will
soon discover.

Purrs sent for her speedy return!

GYFBH-NOW! purrs on the way

Sam, supervised by Mistletoe

It's Wednesday evening, almost 48 hours since we last saw Princess.

We have looked EVERYwhere, even in places she could not possibly have
gotten, just in case. Not at the neighbors's (not that we have many),
not on our property, not in, around, under, or on the house...

No Princess. John is frantic. I'm more resigned at this point, but still
hopeful.

Tomorrow morning, he will call to cancel the vet appointment, in hopes
that she will come back then and he can corral her and re-do the
appointment. Keep fingers, paws and eyes crossed!

Thank you for all the purrs so far. In all the cats we've had over the
years (I think I once counted up nearly 30, with a maximum of 13 at any
one time, some fosters, some roommates' cats, most ours), we have had
only ONE disappearance...and that was Persephone the Psycho Cat, who we
were not particularly unhappy to have lost. We think she just found a
place she liked better.

But Princess! We've had her since she was a kitten 16 years ago, and
while she's always been an approach/avoidance kitty ("Pet me! but don't
touch me!") and gotten all pointy when you try to pick her up (but is
fine if she comes up on her own), she's always loved it here. The last
several years, she has rarely gone out of the house. It's nearly
inconceivable that she would choose to wander off for someplace better,
unless (like KFC) she is getting confused...in which case we need to
find her ASAP and make sure she stays safe.

Again, thanks for the purrs. It is much appreciated. I will update again
when I have more news.

Purrs are still coming, and everything crossable is crossed.

Princess, Please come home safely. Your Hoomins are terribly worried
about you, and they miss you very much!

Deborah, Serious Homing Device purrs in place for Princess to return
to you safely today.

Sorry I missed the FBH call for purrs so we're sending them now. It does
rather sound as if she's started to wander through confusion as KFC also
hadn't gone outside much for a couple of years. If so, you will have to
keep actively searching for her rather than expect her to come home, I'm
afraid.
I do hope you find her soon - I know only too well what it feels like.
