ZAZOU is missing again!!! she is BACK HOME !!!!!!

[shais_mom]

I'm pretty sure Belgium doesn't have bears, racoons, skunks and who knows what else marauding through gardens

this comment has been 'bothering' me all nite long.
There might not be any of those things in the garden BUT she isn't IN the garden.
And animals aren't the only 'danger'. Someone mentioned their cat getting shot with an arrow. I know that people here think that most psycho people live in the USA but the fact of the matter is there are EVERYWHERE.
If a cat can get OUT of the fenced in yard then a small dog or another cat can get IN- and cat fights are just as expensive as any other kind of animal fight or injury.
I am sending up prayers to GOD tonight that Zazou will come home asap.

Denise - would it be too much to ask to have you put out your 'kitty senses' again? Or maybe you are already doing that.

If you can, tell that silly girl to Stay In The Yard!

Sorry if I offended you in any way - was just angry about my friend being hurt by a few of the posts. I know you want Zazou home just as much as the rest of us Truce?

Laura, I was thinking the exact thing about an outdoor enclosure! As talented as Bernard is in the garden, I bet he could make something lovely for Miss Zazou. Actually that picture is pretty much the same as the one Jerry built in our garage for our kitties!

EDIT: I just saw that she is home safe! That's wonderful news.

I hope you will consider a leash for Zazou. She may not like it much at the beginning, but they work.

I hope that wayward kitty finds her way home again and that your experiences with her become easier on everyone!

Juni was out for 30 hours just recently and on her way up the steps to come in, I told her that she had just had her last time outside. She just cannot be trusted. It is for her own good. Some cats just don't have good homing instincts. Juni is one of them!

Sarah gave me the web site to link to to buy the nifty vests and although I am not currently using one with my cats, I have in the past and they are quite comfortable and effective.

Good luck Lut.

Oh, I don't think anyone here wishes you ill with this problem. I do think that folks will get a bit put out worrying every time Zazou takes a powder.....when you are not in the heat of the moment, the answer seems pretty clear to us......we're on the outside looking in....but the ultimate decision is yours, not your cat's. We will all support you no matter what you decide, as long as the cat is safe and sound! Remember, we often are easier on the pets more than the owners!

Can't you just picture that exchange?

I think I may have posted this the last time that Zazou got lost but years ago my blackie Boo darted out the door after a feral cat and it was the coldest day of the year. I thought he'd be easy to spot against the white snow. Not. My son and I searched for him for hours and finally gave up when it got dark. He was gone all night and I left the garage door up just a crack and he came into the garage after midnight and meowed inside the garage. Of course, I bolted out there and hugged him so hard! He was filthy, all muddy, but I just brushed him and he slept w/me that night. The next day I put a sign on the wall near the door at cat level "You are a guest in this house. If you leave, I won't count on you coming back." I meant it as a joke for humans to get a chuckle out of, of course, but I swear Boo read it and he hasn't tried to bolt since. Before that time, he was always trying to make an exit. Now he's 16 and settled in and has no desire whatsoever to go out but he does still get his hackles up at outdoor cats who come around. So take heart, Zazou may come back and decide she's had enough and, if not, whip up a sign. She may get the message on a subconscious level and it just might do the trick.

Lut, Without question you're one of the most loving and caring Meowmies I know. All you want is for your kitty girls to be happy and know how much they're loved. What to do about Zazou is a tough question for you. Prayers being prayed for both of you!

[Catsnclay]

Sorry!! I LOVE my cats very much thank you!! And this is a safe neighbourhood; no bears, raccoons, skunks, no wild animals at all. The nearest road is to far away, and besides Zazou is afraid for cars!

Please, don't tell my I use lame excuses ; I am NOT like that.

Sorry for this, but some comments really hurt me deeply. I need good vibes, no reprimands.........

My sweety is still lost. It is raining VERY hard now; I hope she found a safe rescue

Oh Lut!

I hope that you realize that we all are just giving you suggestions, NOT repremands!!

We are all worried sick over Zazou and hope she gets home quickly & safely.

Please don't take any of these posts as anyone beating up on you, we are all just trying to help!!!

I hope she will return home soon!!
