Sorry to hear about your cat, Eye of Unk. Sometimes cats do find their way back after hiding out for a while.
Right now my totally blind cat is outside and it’s freezing and dark...she’s mentally challenged having fallen down from trees and roofs so many times. We live in woods with all kinds of predators around from bears and cougars to bobcats and racoons.
She’s always made it back before, I hope yours does.
Hey thanks, I needed a lift.
Spent the day driving around some more, checked at two animal shelters and left some postings on Craigslist up here.
I still have a couple more kitties including the “brother” of the one missing, he is nearly identical but much fatter, she was my absolute favorite, the best I have had in years, and here in Alaska I also have an attrition rate from predators.
For years it was pit bulls from my neighbors, and before that eagles and owls. And an occasional fox or wolf. Seems like the worst predator is another family member that just hates my cat, my 30 year old mentally unstable stepdaughter.
