I don't have much time, my friend's here to take me to shelters and out for a lunch break but I gotta tell you my dear girl, star is found!!

thanks to crayola!! actually, and the cats too! this morning everyone, except crayola on the floor was sleeping on me - cats usually jerk up when they heard something (one or more cats stood up, being alert's enough to wake me up and crayola wouldn't wake/push me up unless it's beeps or loud) - I woke up and looked at crayola immediately, watched him really carefully... he had his head & ears up, looking at where the sound was.. yes, the back porch! (cats were hard to tell, 6+ cats were looking in different directions) and guess who I saw?! star! she gave up!!

star was pawing a metal food can, trying to get treats out of it. I balanced a food can with treats in it on a mini-table so when a cat tries to touch it, it'll fall off and used peanut butter on bottom of food can so not all treats would fall out as star was trying getting them out and made clinging sounds crayola could hear! tunabowl wouldn't do much, just sitting there on porch all flated, being eaten off.

I opened the door quietly, star got starled at first but recognized my voice - I took sticky treats out for her, she desperately started giving me headbumps! I picked her up and took her in for good!! she seems fine, just very dirty from five days. I got too excited but realized the other three are still missing.. I've never had more than one missing, am not so used to four.. I'm just so happy star IS home!

I'll be back to answer some of questions I saw, pet talk prayers seems is working, swirling out to us & more hope is coming! back shortly.
