I was so shocked by your post that I could feel my stomach churning with horror. I've sometimes imagined what it would be like to come home to a burglarized home and cats missing or hurt, but my mind sheers away from it because it is unendurable. I can't bear to think what the missing cats are going through, they must be terrified and even the ones who stayed in the apartment are going to be traumatized.

What happened to your friend who was staying there while you were gone? Are you staying with friends? I hope the police can do something to help you.

I know you won't have much time or opportunity to post here, but I hope you can keep us updated because many are going to be very concerned for you and the missing.
