PLEASE keep praying that little Reilly comes home... it's been over a week and he's not back yet. I am losing heart... first thing I do in the morning is run tot he window to see if he is outside.

I am afraid that he is gone.

My Sister's cat is missing too. You said you live in a town? Can you ask your neighbors to check their basements? I lost my cat for 1 week (this was years ago). Come to find out, she was in our neighbors basement.

I so hope you find your kitty. Please keep us posted. I will send good thoughts and positive vibes your way.

Good Morning All,
This has been an eventful few days. Several days ago, I was at my wits end worrying about my little stray "Reilly". I had driven around, looking for him, asked neighbors, went to the county "shelter" and I use that term very loosely. Found out that the only way cats are brought to them is if they are dumpbed, surrendered, hit by a car etc. THey are Free roam and cannot be picked up if seen by the animal control people.

My last straw.. I emailed a well known pet psychic/animal communicator Diane Roadcap. I had had a private reading wither last year which was too incredible for words. She lives here in Northern Va... and is absolutely wonderful. I emailed her and told her about Reilly. She called me Wednesday. I had prepared myself that Reilly had crossed the RB. I just knew it. First words out of her mouth..."He is alive and well". I asked her to repeat that, I wasn't sure I heard her correctly. She went thru the entire reading, told me about Reilly and said that he plans to return, but had to leave for awhile.

Diane proved to be rtight on with the first reading.. but this one....I was a little hesitant to believe her.

Yesterday morning, I got up.. went to the window... looked out.. and there he was sitting in the driveway waiting for his breakfast.
I ran downstairs opened the pantry, grabbed Fancy Feast and ran outside. My boys were looking at me like MOM!! HERE! WE'RE HERE! I must have looked like a simpleton.. babbling to Reilly. But sure enough he is back. In fact.. he was here several times yesterday.

Diane had told him that he had better get home becasue the season was changing.. also that I loved him and was so worried... Now you all can say it is a mere coincidence...but I have had a reading with this woman before.....seems strange that 24 hours after I spoke with her he shows up.

He looks good...but I think something happeend to him....maybe he was shut up someplace becasue he is back to his very skittish self. I have to start all over again with regaining his trust.

I don't care...my wayward stray fur son has come home.

Blessings,

That's great news!

I'm sure he'll come around a little quicker this time. Do you plan on keeping him inside?

Free-living cats wander.... I am glad Reilly came back. If you live in a relatively safe environment, he will probably continue to come and go and have a home with you. Outdoor cats have lives that humans only share part of. I grew up with outdoor cats and the neighboring farms barncats coming over for tending and love. Bless you for loving him on his own terms.

These days all my cats live indoors and there are no strays letting me know they are around (the weather-proof shelters are still on my land, but only a family of (wild) bunnies lives in them at the moment. My county adopted the law that it is legal to shoot free-roaming cats, and, as I have a neighbor that is nasty, I no longer put out food unless a cat is letting me know he/she is there and then I begin the taming process. Being a free-roaming cat is no longer an even relatively safe way to live here any more.

There are many dangers out there for cats, but many joys too...

For those who have wanderers, never give up. My dear Sooty was gone on "business" for a year, came home (two-homed for a time) and then lived the remainder of a long life with me. Others used to only winter with me or only show up if they were sick or hurt.... funny how they knew.

Good wishes for all who wander and for those who offer comfort and homes.

So glad Reilly came back. There is lots of hope for Bella, I think. It would be exactly the time for her to be back in heat, so she is probably out and about with potential "husbands." Our cat Mustard, the family cat when I was growing up, disappeared three different times and returned safely. The third time, he was gone for over two weeks, and we were sure we would never see him again - we called and searched everywhere - but one day he just showed up at the front door. My cat Sadie - the first cat I ever had after leaving home - disappeared in Philadelphia for a week, too, and I was positive she had met a bad end - but one morning, she tore a hole through the screen coming back home! I have never been more ecstatic than I was that morning to see her - she was the worse for wear, with some injuries, but nothing terribly serious, and she ended up fine. Good luck with Bella - I hope she comes home just fine.
