The cat saved! A happy ending

[sincere]

The cat came home!!

Okay, he didn't really. After days of nail-biting and calling the humane society and checking with the highway department and running in circles, we finally spent like $20 printing out reaaaally nice flyers to distribute and show people and hang around town, complete with color pictures. Today we finally fought off the pressure of all the other things we were supposed to be doing, and went out to go door-to-door and ask people if they'd seen him.

I don't have much hope about this method, we kept reading pamphlets from the humane society warning that cats can wander up to ten miles from where they were found, and after a week...? He could've gotten pretty far.

About a block and a half down, some guy squints at the picture and is like, "Ohh, yeah. Male cat? Very friendly?"

And I'm like, "Uh, YES."

And he's all, "Kathy down the block has been feeding him! She was looking for whoever he belonged to."

sdlfkjsdlg so we rush over to Kathy's and I notice that there's an empty food dish and a water dish near the door, so it's the right house, even though she's not home, and as we're talking we hear plaintive meowing

So there's my cat, just huddling under this bush, staring at us and meowing.

We have collected him and brought him home, and he immediately proceeded to flop over and own the place just like he was never gone. ♥

So happy :D Also happy for the turtle you saved. :D It was a good day to be a cute animal?

YAY CAT! even if he is a major dork, like most cats who run off and then wonder wtf.

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

He totally is. XD I was jaded because my Hoshi girl ran off in January and never showed up again, but I guess that's the difference between a professional outdoor cat and an indoor cat who thinks he wants to be an outdoor cat. XD

I'm so glad you got him back! X3 And he was taken care of, too. Let's hope that he doesn't decide to do that again. XD;

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

It's so sad, actually. XD We'd just earlier yesterday gone out to Kinko's and printed out $20 worth of lost cat fliers, and then later on the woman who had been feeding him called me and said she'd just gone out to Kinko's and printed out have you lost this cat fliers... XD He's a total brat.

[kalorii.livejournal.com]

What cat isn't a brat? XD; But that's horrible. At least you'll have some posters for the next time? XDD

...That is, if there is a next time. Hopefully not. |D;;

LOL I'm glad you found him! :D

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥

YAY oh gosh, I bet you feel so much better :) Garfield ran away once and was gone a whole day and I was just sick with worry. YAY! I am so happy for you!!!

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

My cat in New York vanished and never came home. :\ So I was getting a little worried. Thank goodness Ela's too much of a loser to go far. XD

[yami-chan.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm so glad you found him!

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥

[sorceressakemi.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I'm so glad to hear that he's back safe and sound.

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

So am I. XD And he's chilling like nothing happened, the loser. He just had himself a little adventure. SIGH.

[kumagoro-usagi.livejournal.com]

♥ Yay cat is safe. But lol, isn't it just typical for pets?

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

I know, what a loser. Gets himself lost for a week, turns up in a bush two blocks away.

[alicia250.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo! :D

Glad to hear you found him!

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥♥ Losing cats is nerve-wracking. :\

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

And the cat was all "What took you so long to find me? I thought I had you trained better than this!"

Glad to hear he's back home. Yeah for found kitty!

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's a loser. The funny thing is that in his absence, the shy cat suddenly got really loud and bossy and was in our faces all the time, whereas typically he's all meek and huddled and hiding. The moment we find Ela, shycat is back to lurking in corners, only speaking up at mealtimes...

[sakusha.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm glad you found him.

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥
