Pouncierge has vanished

[Don Juan's mom]

Don't feel bad. I had a bad hour last night when I couldn't locate Zerlina, and I actually went looking outside, even though I couldn't figure out when or how she would have gotten out.

Turned out she'd gotten shut in a cupboard. Silly mom!

Pouncierge, please come home! And if you can, bring that bird or mouse home for your daddy!

Gary, I'm so sorry! It's not your fault, please don't blame yourself for this.

Pouncierge, please come back home soon, Daddy is so worried about you!!

Its been 8 Hours and she must be Cold and Hungry by now.
I think that she is dirsoriented and I am going out now to see if I can even find a trace.

Please Pray for My Baby.

[orangemm]

I'm praying she will find her way back home to you. It was NOT your fault; something like that could happen to any of us. Kittens are unpredictable!

Pouncierge, get home right now!!!

[Laura's Babies]

Oh My Gosh Gary, the LES is working overtime.. Because I know how worried you are and how guilty you feel. BUT my friend, with all the kitties already beating their way to your door, I am sure she will find her way back home. Just when you give up, you will hear that little " mew,mew" and there she will be!

QUIT beating yourself up over this! There is NO way you could read her little mind and know what she was about to do. If she isn't home before dark, sit on your porch and just talk to her like she was there and she may follow the sound of your voice and return to you. I will worry with you until we know she is back home at your hotel and YOU are OK!

[kimlovescats]

Oh NO! Gary ... DO NOT blame yourself! Kitties pull this stunt ALL THE TIME! You know ... CURIOSITY????? I know you are terribly worried, but try not to panic yet ... I would keep looking and calling, and leave some food out. Gosh, I wish I was there to help you look for her!

COME HOME Pouncierge!!!!!

[jenluckenbach]

Oh NO! Gary, she is more likely to show up after dark. But keep the faith.....you know better than all of us that the cat angels are with her keeping her safe, and they will lead her home.

[K & L]

Oh Gary I hope she comes home soon. You must be frantic.

[Lizzie]

I hope that you found her while you went out looking but it's more likely, being a cat, that she will return only when she feels like it. If you sit on your porch tonight, as Laura's Babies suggests, talking to her, tell her that trying to be as famous as Delta is just no joke and she's no Husky, able to brave the elements.

I feel sure that she will come home. If she isn't back tonight, you'll find her near the porch tomorrow morning looking at you as though you were supposed to keep the door open all night for her. I know the guilt is great but you can no more read a cat's mind completely than you can protect them from all ills. Many years ago, I had a cat called Sam who did the same thing to me. I was in absolute despair, visiting shelters, touring the neighborhood all night with a flashlight, etc. Two days later I saw him strolling through the garden towards the back deck as though nothing had happened.

Gary, it's not your fault. You know how quick cats are. And if Pouncierge gets hungry, she'll be back to the Found Cats Hotel. Cats NEVER venture far from their food source.

Thoughts and prayers for Pouncierge's return.

(((((((HUGS)))))))))to you honey.

[barncat]

As everyone is saying...it is not your fault! Cats are fast and we can only do the best we can. You are a fantastic catperson. If I were a cat I would want to belong to your colony.

I would not remove the food from the porch (hungry strays milling about seem even more scary)...but I would spend some time there. Hopefully she will come home soon... I would also contact the vets and animal control to let them know your pet is missing in case someone finds her.

Blessings. You are the best.

[jazzcat]

Please come home soon Pouncierge.

((((HUGS))))) Gary, don't blame yourself.

[Queen of Poop]

Prayers that you find her quickly, or that she beats you home and is waiting for you.
