My girl has been missing *UPDATED*

[Karen]

She's home!!!!!!
She is filthy and skinny but home. She is on my lap now taking a nap. She ventured off to the neighbors, about a 5 min. walk from our house. The neighbors were feeding her and said everytime they would go near her she would hiss. my mom and I are going to work on making her a inside cat. We will see how that goes. We think she is starting to forget her home, she will be 10 in a mouth. But she didn't remember us and we said her name and everything. She hissed at us and ran and got stuck in a cornor. When we picked her up she started purring. I did my high pitch noise and she climbed on me and licked me.

Does sound like it is time to make her indoors-only, both for your peace of mind and her safety. Good luck with the transition, maybe you'll be lucky and now that she's home safe, she'll not want out again.

Oh thank God! The Angel Army and PT Prayers...wow!

Now Kasey, you relax and enjoy indoors, where you can get a little cat tree and treats and catnip to enjoy! You make that home yours...you are a KITTY, after all!

HUGS to you and your purrents!

Thanks so much for the prayers,
I will be needing all the advise I can get because she loves it outside and my dad wants her to be a inside/outdoor cat. It puts to mush stress and worring on me and its my summer project to make her a inside cat.

Yaaaaaaaa! She's home! Glad you found her and she is safe and well...

[Donnaj4962]

Happy dance! I am so glad that she is home safe and sound! I know what it is like to lose a furbaby... and I know that joy of knowing they are home again! Thank goodness for the PT prayers and the Army of Angels that help us in these cases! What would we do without them???? They work wonders, I am telling you! Amazing. Good luck with the summer project. I am sure it will be a challenge!

[moosmom]

That is WONDERFUL news!!! I'll bet you slept well last night!

[Sonia59]

Yipppiieeee! Oh I am so happy for you and your girl!

No advice to make her an inside cat. It's probably very hard as she is used to go outside. It may be a stupid idea, but could you have her used to walk on a harness with you outside?

The Pet Angel Search and Rescue Squad was more than happy to help out.
They get a free meal at Dennys for every rescue.
Talk about incentive.

Seem to have missed this yesterday.....

SO HAPPY to hear that she is back home!!!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

When I saw the *UPDATED* in the title, I was so hoping she had made it home, and she did! Yippeee!!!

Does she wear a collar? If so, maybe you can start taking her outside on a leash so she can get her "fix" of outside, yet still not be able to wander away. The only thing is, I would only have her on a leash if she is supervised. There are too many ways a cat can get tangled in a leash if she is not supervised.

Good luck on your summer project!

Ashamed to say I missed this - but am soooooo happy to see she is home again

[Flatcoatluver]

Thanks everyone!! This weekend my mom and I are getting her a new collor and id tag, I was thinking taking her out on a leash is a good idea!

Any tips for senior cats to learn how to use the litter box. She has been sleeping since yesterday at 7 p.m. Not sleeping for 5 days really wears her out!

[Miss Z]

I'm glad she managed to get home safely! Don't scare us all again Kasey sweetie!

[Kirsten]

Phew, I'm glad to read that she's back home!!

Kasey, never do that again!!

I am so glad she's home.
I have a friend who took in a senior kitty when he moved to a new home- this cat was left back by her former owners and was never used to a litterbox. I think the PT recommendations were to keep her in a room with a litterbox for a certain time- plus adding some soil to kitty litter.
In the case of this kitty all worked out fine (she was very old, so she passed away in the meantime.)

I think if you start a new thread you'll get many good advice.
