I'm sorry there are still no news on her.

And yes, not to know what had happened and imagening all kind of things is even worse than knowing that your beloved friend went to the Rainbow Bridge.

I still hope she will sit on your porch one day! Maybe she's locked somewhere and couldn't escape yet. Sometimes these things happen. Once, a friend of mine has lost her cat for several weeks, but one day, he sat outside the door, asking for breakfast. They never found out where he was. But his paws where clean, so they figured somebody took him in, and it took him a while to get away and run home.

I know it's hard not to give up hope, and sometimes trying to accept the loss may be easier than the not-knowing, and waiting... but I still hope Tricky is fine and will come back to you.
