Probably A Long Shot But Could You Send Some Prayers For A Friend  |
|
I don't know how many of you may have her on your friend's list but she was the second friend of mine when I first joined up with MyLot. She, that is susieq is kind of one of the "old timers" here and hasn't been very active for many months, yet I've been hearing from her now and then via private emails. Many months ago, her husband died after a very long, lingering illness. I guess she wanted a new start in life and decided to leave her Florida home and had gotten an RV so she could virtually travel all over the country. She even started a travel blog about her adventures that she calls "Travels With Sam"----Sammy being her tiger-striped kitty, and is her avatar for here. I've been reading her blog and it's been so cute since she adds comments from Sammy's viewpoint.
I just got a sad email from her that somehow Sammy, her cat is missing. She told me in an email she's always been very careful whenever she opens the door of her RV, but somehow he must have made a beeline out the door and she didn't notice him missing until she came back later on. She told me she's searched and backtracked twice all over the area where she's traveling (now in and around the Ft. Davis, Texas area) but hasn't found him. I just feel so bad for her. She mentioned how she feels that she's lost her husband all over again, since Sammy used to keep her husband company the last few months of his life. I emailed her back and suggested to give it another shot and try and backtrack and search again. I don't know if it were me, I'd hire the national guard, army, navy, air force to find my two kitties if they somehow got lost...LOL
Anyway...could you send prayers to my friend that by some miracle she finds her cat? I know how I would feel, and I'm betting I know how any of you would feel if you somehow lost your beloved furbaby...Have any of you lost a pet, and by a miracle you found them again. Send her your prayers okay...??

1. Ruthep (5928) | 11 months ago | That is too bad. Do you know if she has checked with the shelters in the area? Once my sister lost her cat. We were in an apartment and he went out onto the balcony and must have climbed down. One night he just reappeared and started meowing outside. I had to go chase him down. Luckily I get him back for my sister.

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | She really didn't go into much details...think she's too distraught to really think clearly....I did email her back but haven't heard from her since. Glad to hear your sister's cat had a happy ending and came back

2. LaurenInLA (915) | 11 months ago | I don't know SusieQ but I will certainly include her in my prayers. I'm a cat lover as well and when my cat passed away two years ago, it was losing like a member of the family. My dear husband is seriously ill and I know how lost and all alone Susieq must feel. I'd love to read her blog. Can you tell me where I can read it?

4. Chevee (3611) | 11 months ago | I will certainly say a prayer for her and Sammy. I don't have a pet but my daughter does. She has a dog a Siberian Husky. She the dog would get loose and run away. She did this once and I was working the second shift at the time that is from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm. I don't live with my daughter, she called me at work and told me she the dog had gotten away again. And she was tired of chasing after her and she would have to stay lost until the next day. Well when I got off work at 11:00 that night I went through my daughters neighborhood looking for her. I didn't see her anywhere so the next day thinking that the dog might have come home sometime that night and they just didn't have time to call me. I went over to her house, having a key and let myself in and set off the alarm and didn't know how to turn it off. I just stood in the doorway when the police, ambulance, and the firetruck arrived. I had to call my daughter on her job and ask her how to turn that thing off. The dog had not come home that night. Animal Control had found her first, they notified my daughter and she got the dog back, wasn't charged if she gave a donation.

Chevee (3611) | 11 months ago | The charge was for an animal running loose. All dogs should be on a leash and with its owner. Not running loose in the community.

5. guybrush (3500) | 11 months ago | How horrible and sad, Pye. The best thing for your friend to do would be stay there - Sam would know how to find his way back if the RV is still parked in the same place as where he went missing. Once she starts driving around, things become much harder. I hope you have some good news soon - it's a really crappy thing to happen. Blessings to susieq and Sam.

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | I just quickly emailed her again asking if she's gone to any of the local shelters that might be around there at a long shot, her cat was picked up by someone. I hope I hear good news too and you're right she should kind of stay put in one area and not move around too much

6. ElicBxn (15382) | 11 months ago | I'm so sorry to hear about Sammy.
A couple of mine dissappeared, Nefret and Gnu, at almost the same time.
I think Gnu went off to die, but I think Nef went home with one of the guys that remodeled the office, since she was unafraid of cars.

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | I hope it's not the case that Sammy escaped to be left alone to die...also from her emails to me she said Sammy wasn't exactly too thrilled about the "moving house"

8. tamarafireheart (12562) | 11 months ago | Hi pye,
I am sorry for her it is sad to lose ones cat like that and worry sick over them, I hope she will find them. I once lost Tom who looks just like Sammy, he was lost for a week, we went searching for him everyday and put notices everywhere, even in the local papers but we had no luk but one day, my husband had a thought and went to a stream cross two streets away from where we live, there my husband found him stuck in the reeds and his head just submerge from the water, and looking so very thin and fral, he bought him home, now he doesen't venture far, he leant his lesson,that was a few years ago. Now he is always by my side. I will pray for your friend's Sammy to be found.
Bright Blessings. Tamara

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | Aww--poor Tom...great thing your husband thought to look in that stream. He must have been terrified. I take it now, Tom is your "velcro" cat...never wanting to leave his mom now...LOL. My friend's Sammy looks a lot like so many of my cats I've had in the past.

9. Aussies2007 (2918) | 11 months ago | In general... cats like to play hide and seek... and will not come out when you call them. They will only return when they are hungry.
Cats don't usually get lost and have a fantastic sense of direction. If I leave my cat in the middle of nowhere... he will wait for me to return.
But if he decides to go for a walk... I won't find him. I thought I had lost him dozen of times over the last 10 years. I have walked miles to find that cat... and I have never found him a single time. Several times he has been away for 48 hours. He does not travel during day time either... to prevent himself from becoming the prey of another animal. He hides during the day... and turns up at my door at 11PM.
The biggest problem your friend has... is not knowing where she lost it. She needs to go back to the exact spot where the cat left her... and he will be there... hiding somewhere close by.

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | I've emailed her back telling her to go back again to the area she thinks where she may have lost him...haven't heard back from her yet I've had some scares with my cats in the past. You're right, cats don't like to be bothered or found unless they want to. So often I can't find one of my cats, and think OH NO..did one get out? I mean there aren't too many places for my cats to really hide here. I'm looking all over the place and then maybe suddenly think to look under a bureau....bingo..how that darn cat can fit under there I'll never know....and of course the cat simply looks at me like I'm nuts..like "What's your problem?" LOL

pyewacket (11627) | 11 months ago | I just emailed you with the link to her blog. I really do hope she can somehow find Sammy...in one entry of her blog she has a picture of Sammy. I've emailed her back with all kinds of ideas, like going back to the last place she may have had him and staying put awhile...maybe if he sees the RV he'll recognize it and come back
