Think good thoughts ***UPDATE*** GOOD NEWS! :)

Since my Sylvie kitty disappeared a couple of years ago I forced my other two cats (Sylvie's babies) to become house cats. It was a rough transition but they finally seemed to settle into it. They'd sneak out occasionally but always came right back in. Until earlier this week. Somehow Moonie got out and I havn't seen him since Monday. He's done this before and been gone as long as 10 days but I get so worried about him when it happens. I almost think there's another family who takes him in and tries to keep him because he always comes back just as enormously fat as he was when he left.

So please keep good thoughts for my sweet Moon. He's such a nice kitty but a real wuss about thunderstorms and strange people. I'm going to the animal shelter tomorrow to see if they have him and I'll be posting his picture around. Keep your fingers crossed, please! (Flower kitty misses him.....he keeps walking around doing little mews like he's calling him. )

OH! I hope you find him. I know what it is like to have one of your furkids go missing. Will be sending positive thoughts your way!

Pat, I hope he comes back home soon! I would be a nervous wreck too! I freak out when Wilbur sneaks out once or twice a year, but we have been lucky we always have been able to catch him afte chasing him around the yards.

I will definitely keep Moonie in my thoughts and pray he comes home soon. This has happened to me on occasion and it is very distressing.

Oh {{Pat}} It's worse than having kids not come home at night!

Poor guy, but you are probably right about him having found someone's house to shelter in.

My brother keeps his bedroom window open with a plastic cover hangin loosely so his kitty can come and go while he at work. About 2 weeks ago, he came to find another cat had come in with him and made himself at home!

Maybe it's just his vacation time but we'll keep him in good thoughts and offer a prayer for his safe keeping till he returns home to you both. Dang kitties, just keep us on our toes!

Darn it all, Pat. I hate it when that happens. I hope you are right, and he's sitting in someone else's house eating yummy treats. Then he'll have to do his escape artist tricks to get away from them and come home!

I hope your handsome boy comes back home soon...and stays put!!! I know how distressing it is when they manage to get out and disappear for a while. You can't help but worry.

I'll send good thoughts your way.

Thank you all. He still hasn't come home.

But I havn't lost hope yet. He's been gone longer than this in the past.

Oh Pat! I hope Moonie comes home safe and sound! If he isn't fixed.. he's prob. just catting around. Keep us posted! He's a beaut!!

Poor Pat - that is scary, I know how sick with worry you must be. Everything's crossed to bring Moonie back home this instant!

My prayers are with you and Moom so he returns home.

positive thoughts for your moonies safe and happy return!!!

Moonie's HOME!!

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes.
I went outside at 2am and there he was on the patio!!!!

He seemed very happy to come into the house and spent 15 minutes giving me head butts and getting his tummy rubbed. Now he's chowing down.

He doesn't seem to be much thinner but I think he's been in a fight with another kitty. I can feel little scabs on his ear and his paw pads and ears feel warm like he might have a fever. Poor baby.

I'm so relieved to have him home! I was really starting to think that he was gone for good this time. I told him that he's "Grounded for LIFE!" (or until he sneaks out again.)

Thank Heavens he's home! WHew!

Now as for those bites. You really should keep a good eye on them, or even get him into the vets. I remember one of cats as a child having a very nasty open wound that festered from a cat bite. They can get infected badly. Please have him checked it out if you think it's infected!

Poor guy..........2 am show, huh? Catting you think?

I bet he'll sleep well for a week!

PeggyC · Post by **PeggyC** » Jun 05, 2006 7:53 am

Oh Pat that's GREAT news! I'm so glad to hear he's home!

Blackkat · Post by **Blackkat** » Jun 05, 2006 1:52 pm

Pat, that is such wonderful news!!! I've checked this thread often to see if Moonie came back and am relieved to see you've been reunited. Sorry to hear he's got some battle scars and hopefully they aren't too bad. My cats have bitten each other resulting in infections that have cost me $$$ because I either discovered them too late or I didn't think the bite was serious at the time. Our furcats can be a trial, but ya gotta love them anyway!

Thanks to you all for caring!

As far as his wounds go, there are no open wounds that I can see but I did have a cat develop a bad abcess once from a puncture wound after being in a fight. I have some antibiotics that my DD's kitten was taking for an so-called eye infection. She was such a pistol to get them down (and I really saw no sign of an infection) that we didn't finish them. I'm giving them to Moon to see if that helps with his "hot paws."
