Lil Eli is missing!!!

My continued thoughts and prayers for Eli's zippy-quick return home!

Oh no, Donna, I was so hoping he'd be waiting for you when you got home. :(

We'll definitely have everything crossed here hoping he comes home soon, with lots of positive thoughts and "COME HOME ELI's" going out, along with prayers too.

As for your landlord, well, as we know, some people just don't get it. :(

Come on tuna, do you thing!!!

I am praying for Eli's safe retrun!!!! Please keep us posted!!!!

Donna, prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I sure hope that the trap works and little Eli will be in there sometime during the night. Good luck.

Donna,

I read this thread earlier today and couldn't post because I was in tears with worry. I was hoping by the next time I came to check it, you'd have found him :(

I've been saying prayers all day and will continue doing so until Eli is back in your arms safely. I pray the trap will work.

Oh Donna, I know just how you feel with your little Eli missing. Our RB cat Mittens went missing for 48 days. After awhile I gave up hope of ever seeing him again, but then one night at 3:00 in the morning we could hear a cat meowing outside our window and low and behold there was our mittens.

So please don't give up hope.

My prayers and positive thoughts are with you and your little Eli.

Oh no!! I'll be praying for Eli's safe return! :(

Donna, just finished reading the post and I really hope that Eli returns to you safe and sound. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

Oh, I got to this thread late and really hoped he'd be found by the time I got to the end of it...

Holding you and little Eli and all your crew in my thoughts and prayers. Amazing that only one got out in the circumstances...

Hang in there.

Do have his photo on the posters, it helps non-cat people know what they are looking for...

:( :eek: :( :eek: :( :eek:

Continuing to keep you in my thoughts and prayers Donna.

Please, don't give up...I am sure Eli will return...
There was an "inside only" cat missing in our town recently and the couple, who shares the life with this gorgeous cat, has run adds everywhere and they even have informed the paper, so everyone knew this cat...poor Mowgli was away for a week when one neighbor (in the same house!!!) has found Mowgli on top of a cupboard!!!

I am sure Eli isn't far away and you'll find him!!!
Eli will be in my prayers!!!

It's 3:30 a.m. here and I justed checked the trap. When I looked under the blanket I saw black and white and my heart raced!!! It took my brain a couple of seconds to register that it was NOT Eli :(, but only a neighborhood feral who wanted out very badly. I let him go and set the trap again.

I talked to my daughter tonight who just moved into a new second floor apartment. I got a little pissed at her. :mad: I told her to PLEASE, PLEASE do not open her windows more than her cat Callie's nose so this doesn't happen to her. Her comment was "Mom, I'm not as high up as you are and am going to open my windows so Callie can enjoy the fresh air." I yelled at her :mad: and told her to do whatever she damn pleased, but don't call me crying that her cat is missing when and if it happens to her. I tried to explain that I too, thought it could never happen to me. She is so stubborn and pig headed. Now she's mad at me, :mad: but I don't care. I was trying to get my point across.

I going back to bed and will post again tomorrow.


Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It really means alot to me.

I only just caught this thread now - I am so sorry Donna I wish I could say or do more. When those bastards broke into my house and kicked Bastet and she took off (not that I blame her) she was found across the road in a tree. I hope lil Eli stays around in close proximity to you and that nothing bad has happened to him.

Hugs and head butts your way.

I checked the trap again this morning when I got up. The same cat was in it again!!! :mad:

I'm going to try placing it on the side of the house underneath the stairs tonight. I know I can't prevent other cats and critters from going in there but geez!!!

So, I'll try again tonight. ;( This time I'm putting the trap underneath the back stairwell. If I only knew ABOUT where he was, I'd know where to set the trap. For all I know, when he fell, he darted across the street (early in the morning it's quiet and not a whole lot of traffic). He could be ANYWHERE at this point.

Phred,

Sorry I didn't answer you in my last post but there's really no way I can put one of my other cats out as "bait" for Eli. They are terrified of being outdoors, except for the Mooman, of course.

I'm planning on making flyers. The catch is, Eli is terrified of people other than me. When my daughter came to visit for a week, he hid the whole time.

Oh Eli, please come home. We miss you so much.
