Hallie is MISSING!

[kimlovescats]

If a cat is that curious they will figure a way out no matter what.

That's what I keep telling myself ... because honestly, I can't imagine how we could make it any safer out there. Thanks for making me feel better.

Some people don't know the whole saying - it is actually "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back!"

Here's hoping Miss Hallie Sue gets her fill of adventure, and comes back home tired but safe and satisfied.

[kimlovescats]

I have never heard that, Karen. I sure hope that is the case. Hallie Sue is an extremely loving kitty .... anyone's dream kitty, so I am guessing she has walked right inside someone's front door and unless she pulls a fast one on them too, probably won't be leaving. I just wish I knew .... thankfully I have never seen any pets get hit around here, but those nasty thoughts always haunt you.

Don't think of yourself as being irresponsable! If a cat wants to, there isnt anything that will stop them from getting out. My Spooky kitty ended up getting out through the DRYER VENT a couple of days ago and got stuck up a tree.

Prayers on the way for Hallies safe return!

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that Hallie got out and is now lost. Please don't blame yourself because as others have said when a cat wants to get out they'll find a way to do it. I sure hope that Hallie will find her way home very soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. ((((HUGS))))

Have you asked any neighbors if they've seen her?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I have gotten to the point that I honestly feel that I am robbing my kitties of fresh air and the beauty of the outdoors, so I have been so happy with the results of our cat-fenced yard. We take every precaution we can ... they absolutely love it out there, and we have NEVER had any other animal come INTO our yard from the outside! All in all, it is a pretty safe and functional area ... they certainly love drinking from the pond, and trying to catch the goldfish! ;(

Same thought here! My cats absolutely love to play on the lawn, hide under bushes, etc. . Our garden is well fenced too, and no other cats ever come in. Our Maya however has found a way to get OVER that fence . But she isn't doing that often; and IF she does, she comes right back after a short walk on the driveway. I cannot imagine not letting them play outside; Inka would be sooo unhappy!

Oh No A lost cat is a nightmare. And the "not-knowing" is the worst of all.

But don't feel responsible. As others have said, even an indoor only cat can escape and get lost. If you feel the fenced area was safe, then by gosh, I believe you!

Hope Hallie comes home. How long has it been?

[Randi]

I hope Hallie haven't wandered too far. Perhaps, as you mentioned, she's with a neighbor who just couldn't resist her. If not, she's probably busy exploring everything and will come home when she's hungry. Can she get back in if she wants to? Will you be able to hear her?

You could try going around the area and shake a bag of treats.

Not knowing is the worst. I hope she is safe!

[Uabassoon]

Have you had any luck finding her yet?

[momcat]

Please don't blame yourself for this, what more could you possibly have done? Hallie isn't far away and we all know she wants to come home. Have you put any pictures of her up in your neighborhood? More than anything, I hope she's home by the time you see this. Prayers being prayed!

[CalliesMom]

I am so sorry you have been unable to find her. I'm sure she is just scared right now and is probably near by. Good luck and we will keep our fingers/paws crossed that you find her!

I think tomorrow I am going to put a few flyers in mailboxes.... and maybe even knock on a few doors. It is really strange how she and Harper both could just vanish so quickly. I just have a very STRONG feeling that someone has taken them in ... because you just do not see free-roaming cats in our neighborhood, and THANKFULLY never any that have been hit either. There is a new couple with small children that lives about 2 or 3 houses down on my side of the road, and once before when Hallie pulled the "bank off the roof" routine, she came back from that direction. I don't know what good flyers will do, because I have a feeling if these people around here take in kitties that obviously have only recently shown up "loose" then they aren't real big into trying to find their "rightful owners"! Even if they wanted to keep Hallie, that would be "OK" ... but it would be nice to know she is safe and being loved and cared for. This kitty did not simply vanish into thin air, and she is not the type to go wandering aimlessly. Hallie Sue wants to look around, then come BACK IN for tons of loving. She is an "in your face" kind of kitty ... she craves human attention ... that's why I can almost guarantee that she invited herself into one of my neighbors' homes.

Here is a picture of how loving she really is .... she always wants to do this with me .... if I never had anything else in life to do, Hallie would be thrilled!

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that Hallie is missing.
I hope that she comes back home soon!

[clarebear]

I dont think I can sleep now!. She will be on my mind today!.

[kimlovescats]

I just finished printing out flyers for Hallie.... I will be putting them in mailboxes in my neighborhood. Wish me luck, that someone will know where Hallie is, and that she is safe!

Thanks,
Kim
