December 30, 2007 - I arrived home around 5:30 P.M. Immediately, I called the name of my cat, which is seven month old already. I looked around the house only to found out that she's not there. I asked my younger sibling regarding the whereabout of my cat. Then she told me that she, together with a white-furred cat, went at the back of our house a went inside a private lot, which has a mini forest and rice field and other stuffs, in short a small farm. So, I went to the nearby farm and started looking for her. Unfortunately, I didn't find her. My whole family were very much bothered. We kept on looking for her but no development at all. This situation continued even during on the 1st of January. We so saddened thinking that our cat didn't spend her New Year with us. She's already part of our family. For several days we'd been thinking some morbid thoughts about her. We're already tired of looking for her, until on the evening of January 2, 2007, I was very surpised when I went downstairs to get a glass of water for my mother when I spotted a tri-colored cat: white furred, spotted with black and yellow, sitting on one of the chairs while licking its back. It was our cat. I screamed. We were so glad that she came back, unharmed. Thank God! She's back!

Please spay your cat immediately. Unspayed cats are more likely to be hit by cars, get in a scrape with another cat, etc when they aren't spayed. You were very upset when your cat went missing, why put yourself through that again?

Thank you for your advice. I'll try that.

If she's already pregnant, she won't go roaming again. It might be dangerous to have her speyed if she in already pregnant so I'd take her to the vets in 2 or 3 weeks time, by that time, they should be able to tell is she is indeed pregnant. Though come to think of it, they might be able to tell now by testing her urine. I'm not a vet, so I don't know if it's possible to do that with cats.

I'm thinking that too. But we don't have any veterenary shops in my place. I still have to go to the other city, about two hours from here, it takes time, though.

You know what this means don't you? In due time, your little cat is going to present you with a lovely litter of kittens:-)

Cats are very special animals. I'm glad your cat has returned.
