Zam is Missing

[ramanth]

I need good vibes. Zam did a door-dart at 11:30 p.m. last night and has been missing ever since.

I had cracked the window by the door hoping to hear her but ended up dozing off and woke at 6 a.m. in a panic.

I searched the woods, the complex, and all around. I even checked the railroad tracks and the roads and thankfully she was not there.

I've ran into a few tenants and asked them to keep a look out for her. I plan to call my vet and give the shelters a call later.

Other than being hurt, my biggest fear is that someone took her.

Prayers and good vibes appreciated.

[Jods]

Oh no!! Zam come home girl your scaring your Mommy. You will be in my thoughts.

[furrykidsmother]

Good thoughts and prayers headed your way for Zam's safe return!

Good thoughts heading your way for Zam to return home safe and sound and SOON.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!
Zam, you have to come back!

Zaaam!!!!!!!!!

I called the vet and they said they'll keep an eye out. The shelter doesn't open until 11 a.m.

Momma misses you Zam.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh no, PLEASE ZAM, return to your meowmie!! She is very worried about you... :(

That was a great prayer from the "prayer dogs"!!

[Glacier]

All paws are crossed for Zam's safe and speedy return home!

[cruisetime]

Prayers are out for you and Zam and don't worry - she will be back soon you'll see. Also check and see if posters go up for found kitty in your neighborhood - sometimes people take them in and put up posters... Debbie

[Barbara]

Had to come back: Zam being an indoor kitty it is very likely that she did not go far but is too scared to come out! Just think of Lil'Eli!

[ramanth]

Since Zam was a stray in the area, I'm confident that she at least has a basic understanding of her surroundings.

One of the first places I went looking for her is where I first found her and her kittens.

But the scenery has changed a bit and it's the fear of not knowing if she's hurt or trapped somewhere. :(

She has a collar and a tag. Hopefully she hasn't lost them.

[kittycats_delight]

Come Home ZAM Meowmie missed you and is oh so worried. And all of us here are PT want you to come home safe and sound. I'm sending my Mytsi Angel to aide in Zam's return. Mytsi was always great at finding whatever you needed found. All those Angels will have to find Zam. Come home sweet one.

[dragonchilde]

*hugs the Kimmy* You'll find her. Zam is a good baby, and will come home when she's done esplorin.

[Hello Kitty]

I am soooo sorry to here that horrible news!!!:confused: :

[NKBurlington]

Oh no! I'm so sorry Zam is missing.

I hope she will return to you soon.

[jazzcat]

Oh no!

Prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes and crossed paws all coming from here.

Please keep us updated.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Zam! There's no place like home....there's no place like home!

Please come home Zammie!

[Fett]

I hope she returns safely. Zam has done that 'door dart' quite a lot lately, whenever Kim comes home after midnight from her parents. That seems the time of day she really wants to leave and go outside. Usually Kim said she'll just be somewhere around the building downstairs. But this time, I don't know. :(

Kim said she thought Zam was owned by someone around there before her, since she had absolutely no fear of people, unlike her kittens. Maybe her original owner found her again? I have no clue. I only know how sad Kim was when she called me this morning, and it's not pleasant to hear. Zam is a very sweet cat and I know it's tearing Kim up being at her job and not being able to go look some more around her complex for Zam. :(

It scared me when she said none of the food that was left outside was touched, since I've never known Zam to turn down a free meal, especially over the course of a whole night. :(

Thank you all. *HUGS*

[LoudLou]

ZAM I Am!!!! Shame on you! You come home right NOW! Don't you know inside is SO much better than out there. I do know how tempting Door- Darting can be though... but you really should come back home now. You have everyone worried!
COME HOME ZAM I AM!!!

Signed,

Miss Mocha Bean (Semi-Reformed Door Darter)

[moosmom]

Oh Kim,

I'm so sorry to hear about Zam's little escapade. I don't think she was taken by anyone, since she seems to be scared of strangers. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

((((((hugs)))))))))

[catnapper]

Zam, where are you? Please come back home!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Kimmy ~

As soon as you get home - Organize the neighborhood Rug-Rats into

Hopefully she's on the front steps when you get home!

[Uabassoon]

Zam! Stop being silly and come home now, your mommy misses you and so many people are worried about you.

[kimlovescats]

OH NO, Not Zam!!!:( Honey, please come home!!!!

[Jayna78]

I am hoping and wishing for safe return of your Zam! :) Our thoughts are with you!

[shais_mom]

:(
Zam come home!!

[Logan]

Oh Kimmy, I hate this!!!!!! :( I do hope you find Zam soon. I know you are worried sick. In the meantime, please count on our prayers for a safe return.

Logan

[Randi]

Kimmy, I'm so sorry Zam hasn't come home yet. :( I really hope she will show up soon! I'm sure you'll go look for her after work - and don't give up, she's there somewhere .... unless her former owner has taken her in.

It's always a good idea to search around dusk, that's the time they get active - or when everything is quiet. Bring some treats along.

Good luck finding her. :)

Hugs!

[mina'smomma]

Zam,

This is Kasie & Mina. You need to go home to your mommy right now. Take it from somecats who knows you can't get better than owning a human. Your mommy is very sad because she misses her Zam. Come home right now.

Your Feline Friends

Kasie & Mina

[RedHedd]

Oh No! Not ZAM! ZAM! Please come home! Prayers going out your way, Kim, that he returns unscathed.

[jenluckenbach]

OH NO~ A cat mom's worst nightmare. :( Please come home Zam.

[wolfsoul]

Oh no, I hope you find Zam soon! If worse comes to worse you can always call your local news and see if they will air a story for you. I find that news people are usually very nice and love animals.

[catfamily]

Oh no I'm so so sorry.Prayers and good vibes for a safe return for Zam.

[lizbud]

I'm so sorry to hear this Kimmy. You must be worried sick about
Zam.:( I'm praying she just hangs around some place close by &
you find her soon.

I hope Zam comes home soon! Good vibes on the way for her safe return.

[momcat]

Oh no!!! Count on lots of prayers and good vibes headed your way for Zam's safe return. Groucho is sending kitty esp telling Zam, "Enough exploring, time to see Meowmie so she won't worry about you and be sad anymore!" Please keep us updated?

[chocolatepuppy]

I will pray for Zams safe return.

[wolf_Q]

I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Please come home soon Zam, stay safe!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Zam, you naw-tee, naw-tee girl!!! Kimmy, I'm taking it that you haven't posted that she has come home yet so that means you are still out looking for her? Oh please, Zam, come home! Logan needs you - not to mention Kia and Kimmy and Andy too! :(

[rg_girlca]

Oh Zam, what did you go and do that for. Now you have your meowmie all upset and worried. Don't you know sweetie that when one of our PT kitties go missing, it's like one of our own out there.

Please, please come home safe and sound.

Prayers & Hugs Kimmy.

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

NawTee Kat ZAM

is back **HOME**

*Safe* & *Sound*

and **DIRTY** :D

Kimmy doesn't have a puter at home, and Andy's puter is busted -
so she couldn't post a "She's HOME" note.
Here's what I got from Kimmy just a few minutes ago:

Kimmy came home from work and began a search with Kia as Scout Dawg ...
NUFFIN Found or heard after a wide-area sweep.

About 8:00 PM Kimmy went back out <calling> & <listening>.

Kim went towards a wooded, "swampy" area near the apartments ~
and thought she heard a "MeeOw"

After a couple
"ZAM"
MeeOw
"ZAM"
MeeOw
exchanges, Kim was convinced Zammy was IN da Swamp.

"ZAM"
*JINGLE* - *JINGLE* went Zam's collar bell ...

Kim went IN da Swamp :(, almost *stepped* on the elusive KAT ...
and Zam went in DEEPER! :mad:

Kimmy was out of treets, so headed back to the apartment for more "bait" ...

Guess WHO was *waiting* at the front door when Kim arrived?

**MeeOWWWW* -- Open da dang DOOR, Mom!!
I need sum FOOD!!

The lil SNOT made a B-Line for the Food Bowl and woofed her fill;
got *checked out* by Kia and Logan;
submitted to a "quick check" by Mom (NO injuries found! :) ) ...
and began <Cleanin Up> - lotta *Swamp Gook* needs to come off!

Tomorrow she goes to da White Coat for her routine Exam & Shots -
and a more thorough Check-Out, but Kimmy is pretty sure
lil Zam is A-OK after her "night out".

MANY THANKS for all the Purrayers and Good Vibes -
looks like they Helped!!

(Wheeeew! :rolleyes: )

Whew, indeed! <hug, hug, smooch, smooch> Ok Zam, now that you know we're so glad you're home safe and sound...you naw-tee, naw-tee girl! How could you go deeper into the swamp when you know your meowmie (not to mention all of PT) is worried sick about you! You are a naw-tee girl and you will be punished....after I'm done squeezing you to death from being so happy you're home safe and sound that is! ;)

Whew! (understatement of the year I think, Phred.) ;)

[chocolatepuppy]

Great news! :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that she's now home safe and sound.:D

[wolf_Q]

Yay, I'm glad to hear Zam is home safe and sound! No more darting out the door please Zam!

[wolflady]

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that Zam is back home safe and sound! What a nawtee-kitty!!

**hugs**

[rg_girlca]

OMG WHAT a relief.

Zam, I am so glad to hear that you are home safe and sound.
I hope that your dartman days are over now.

[shais_mom]

[Edwina's Secretary]

Okay.....now I can shut my computer off for the night. Zam is safe and sound.....back home where she belongs.....

[RedHedd]

Oh Thank God! I've been worried sick and praying like crazy that Zam would be found/come home! Silly kitty! You had all of PT worried sick! Glad she's home safe and sound.

[Barbara]

Wheeeeeeewww!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

Can relax my fingers from getting a cramp!

Zam, you NAWTEEEE NAWTEEEE girl!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)

[jenluckenbach]

Oh thank heavens.

[ChrisH]

Wonderful news!!! :D :D :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Zam!! That wasn't funny! We don't need "Dartwoman" here as well! Please stay in the house and away from swamps! :eek:

[Randi]

Oh what a relief to see Zam is home, safe and sound! :)

Going into a swamp - you naughty girl! What did you expect to find there? :rolleyes:

[catnapper]

WHEW! - What a relief!!! Zam, you were a nawtee girl!

[furrykidsmother]

Wonderful news!! Nawtee girl!! Don't you ever do that again!

[ramanth]

Thanks for all the good vibes all! Phred summed it up pretty well.

When I went out again, I wasn't sure if what I was hearing was her, or those darn birds that sound like cats. :rolleyes:

But when I heard the bell, I knew it was her, and so when I realized she wasn't going to come to me, I'd have to go to her! My shoes have seen better days... ;)

I couldn't believe she was at the door waiting for me! The little snot.

After a nice relaxing bath (for me, my arms were stinging from mosquito bites and nettles :eek: ), I snapped some pics.

After chowing down for the 3rd time:

Kicking back and relaxing

This morning she was sleeping in front of my closet. I needed to get dressed, but who am I to disturb her! Yes...I waited till she moved on her own. :rolleyes: :p ;)

And here is the general vicinity in which I found her:

She's seeing the vet at 5:30 today.

Thanks again for thinking of us! Zam's been doing a lot of eating and sleeping. Hopefully she got door-darting out of her system. :)

[catmandu]

WE HOPE,THAT ZAM,HAS LEARNED HER LESSON,AS THAT COULD NOT,HAVE BEEN A LOT,OF FUN,BEING,IN THE SWAMP.AND THAT IS FUNNY,THAT INSTEAD,OF COMING,TO YOU,ZAM,RACED ,AND BEAT YOU HOME.THE CAT,IS TRULY AN INDEPENDENT SPECIES,ARENT THEY.

[cruisetime]

I was wondering about you guys all night and had to get on here and see if there was any news - so so so VERY GLAD she is HOME SAFE!!!! My friend's kitty got out and she found her a few hours later by the door meowing pitifully - she hasnt' ever darted out the door again - hopefully this will be the last door dart you have to go through!!! :) Debbie

[Laura's Babies]

Remeber Klinger made his escape in May? I had forgotten about that and he was found a few days later, not far from home.. I am glad your baby made it back but it sure puts us through the wringer when they "wander off" like that

[NKBurlington]

This is great news.

I'm glad to hear that Zam is safe and sound at home

[momcat]

..... NOT!!!!! That is the best news! I'm sure you feel better now, Kim. As for fuzzy buddy Zam, good to know all is well except for some swamp yuckies. Hey there, Zam - please please please don't ever do this again!!! Your meowmie was so upset and worried about you. All of your friends here at PT were worried too. So very happy and relieved that you're home safe and sound with nothing more than being covered in swamp yuckies. Stay home now, okay?

[lizbud]

Great news.:D I'm so glad you found the" little snot".:D

Zam, Zam, Please don't do that again.:)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

YIPPIE!!! Zam is BACK!!!

OMG, you silly Zam; never ever scare your meowmie like that again, you hear??

She must have been so hungry! I wonder if she knew all the way how to get back home???

[catfamily]

I'm so happy Zam is home.I was very worried but didn't want to send that kind of vibe.So I said prayers and only good vibes:D What a beautiful cat.:D And very naughty;)

[sandragonfly]

:eek: this was posted just yesterday and you already find her, thank goodness! hope the vet goes well, I pray for no bad news!
