New to the whole cat thing *pics*

He might come back, but I'm doubtful. This is how my luck is. It runs out at the last minute. I'm feeling the heartbreak of losing a pet ALL over again.

Rule 21 in the Cat Owner's hand book.

Cats do what they want.
Cats show up when they want.
Cats own you.

He will come back, Remember! He is a guy cat and probably has a girlfriend in the neighbor hood!

Don't worry!

You've got to use your powers of visualization. SEE him there at your house. Most importantly, don't lose heart so quickly. He probably is out catting around. Keep the faythe.

Okay, I guess I was being dramatic, but I still have my reasons. If he doesn't come back, I'll miss him wherever he may be. I will always consider him my first kitty and will respect his wishes. He was my baby, but I can't let that get me down. Why, you ask? Well I talked to my mom. She was pretty upset about him not showing up as well. She said she realized how much she missed having a pet but it wasn't a good time right now. We are going to Disney for Easter and it would be better to get that out of the way THEN we can get a...KITTEN!! It's a maybe but I *think* it will happen. We will of course adopt it, but that's if Max doesn't come back. I still Max and I hope my guy comes back. If he doesn't, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Maybe your mom said that to try to make herself feel better because she misses him, too. He may come back yet.

Cats wander. Especially un-neutered ones. I see the strays around here off an on. I worry about them, hope they are ok where ever they are when I don't see them.

Don't get too down. He's probably just "catting" around, like Medusa said. It's typical.

I'll keep him in my thoughts and put up some big wishes for him to come home!

[Alysser]

Yeah, he might be, but wouldn't he come back if we keep feeding him..? There's just no explanation and he has me worried. I don't know what to think. He hasn't come back today at all. I guess it's really over. I'll be okay, but I really thought I'd found my kitty. Guess I have to wait till April or May.
No matter what I'll always love Maxie and will wish him well wherever he is. I will always consider him my first cat. I wish he'd come home. I still don't forget about him and I don't want to loose hope yet.

We had outdoor cats when I was growing up. My one cat, Corvette, was a frequent wanderer. She liked to go visit other farms, and get other food, attention from other people. That was just the way she was. She was spayed, but that didn't stop her from being a nosy girl who wanted to go and investigate and hunt as well.

Don't give up hope just yet. He'll be back, and when he does come back... keep him inside!

I had the WORST dream last night. It was so real and vivid, I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Maybe it was because of the cramps I was having from you know what, but this dream SURE DID NOT HELP in the least. I was walking down the street with a group of friends and saw Max for the first time in a week. He got scared and I head the screech of tires, then I woke up. This didn't really happen but seriously, do you think that's what happened? I can't get it out of my head. Like for the first week Sassy died, I couldn't get the image of her sitting on the metal table at the vets dead out of my mind. If that did happen, Maxxie I am so sorry. I love you baby, and I miss you more then you will ever know. If you were owned by someone I don't care, you're still my first kitty. I love you
