I'm Happy, Happy, Happy too!!! Hurrah for Clyde, knowing to hurry home. I know you will sleep better tonight, just knowing he is there.
I couldn't help but think of you today, when reading about Mason, our beautiful Cat of the Day. I'm glad your story has a happier ending. :)
Prayers do work, don't they??
What a nice ending to such a scary story! How wonderful that you have Clyde back!! I bet it was quite a reunion! Give him lots of hugs from me too!
Oh I am so happy and relieved for you both! Please give Clyde all my love and an extra head scratch!
I have been out of town a couple days, so I just caught up with this. It started out to be one my worst nightmares, but by the time I got near the end there was this happy ending! I am so glad to hear that Clyde is home safe and sound! It makes me think too about being REALLY careful when I let my dog out, since it is several times a day.
nsweezie, I am SOOOO Happy for you & Clyde.
I've been reading this story but didn't know
how to remain completely Positive for Clyde's
return. I have indoor kittys also,who love
to look out a screened window in summer. I
found myself checking EVERY screen before I
left for work in the morning,just in case...
My babies would be so unprepared to deal
with that big old world outside.My worst
nightmare for sure!!!
I'm so happy that Clyde is BACK, safe and
sound,even thou a bit 'smelly'!!!
I haven't posted a picture of Clyde yet, but you can see his picture at http://pets.burnerkitty.com/3109 .
He is long haired, and rather petite, and definatly shy, which I hear is a Maine Coon cat trait.
I am so happy to have him back! And I think he is glad too, because he snuggled in bed with me all last night, and he hardly ever does that!
Thank goodness you found Clyde. I know all about that terrible feeling when they escape. My first cat, Sugar, was missing overnight. My neighbor, who took in strays, had found him and kept him overnight. I didn't sleep a wink and kept on looking for him. In the morning when he was returned to me he was shaking from his experience.
I am so glad that this story has a happy ending, two found kitties on Pet Talk. I wonder what they would tell us if they could talk. I think they are probably very happy to be home and safe again.
Oh My - this is the post I was looking for. Thank goodness your precious Clyde came home. What a scary ordeal that was - now he's home safe and sound - what a relief to be sure!!!!!
So glad Clyde came home! And I looked at his pic on your link....what a strikingly handsome kitty! Ritz has been indoors from the start and snuck out the back screen, then swiftly under our deck - I was nuts until I could get her back inside as I don't know how she would fare against the somewhat wild barn cats who frequent the area. I, too, am more careful about her whereabouts at the door.
Before Ritz, about 15 years ago, I had a big black and white tom cat named Mr Stubs. He was mostly outdoors and we did not get him neutered - which meant he roamed constantly. I was heartbroken to find he had been hit on the road at the age of around 3 or 4....but in the years to follow, we seem to have a growing population of black and white neighborhood kitties - we believe a proliferation of Mr Stubs, and a comfort that life, indeed, does go on!
Welcome back Clyde! Don't worry your mom so - cuddles at home are so much more comfortable than a stuffy old basement :)
Hurray for Clyde and Nsweezie! I'm glad you both can rest now!
