We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

Moff - cats are so funny. If they have been badly frightened, they can stay in one place for a long time. My first cat had crawled into my old stereo cabinet when I first moved into a new apartment. I thought he had escaped the apartment. Turns out he was in there for over two weeks. I about died one morning when out he came - brazenly asking to be fed.

Is it possible Winnie is up inside the underpart of your car - and the dogs have frightened her? Maybe put some food under the car and see what happens. (far enough so that a dog couldn't reach it.)

Just grasping for straws here.

I can try but probably lilac or one of the other cats that come through here will eat it. The orange cat hasn't shown up since Winnie went missing yet. I'm hoping they are off having a 'fling' together and will come back soon.

Winnie, please come home. I am just seeing this and saddened by this news. You are worrying us all. I will send prayers up that you will come home or that you are at a safe place and being taken good care of. We miss you!!

Well, I know my Momma Kitty went missing for three days & I really
began to feel she was gone for good. I still called her every day and
one day she just turned up. She came walking down the alley to me like
she had never left.

I hope Winnie is somewhere safe & content.I'm glad that your neighbor
lady is checking for Winnie too.

Like Gini, I'm grasping at straws here. I just saw a piece in the paper about an orangie that was hiding in the engine compartment of a car. The owner had no idea the cat was there and drove 2 miles until another driver saw the cat's tail and paw then alerted the driver. (kitty is doing well resting in a shelter). Could Winnie have crawled up inside your old car and be hiding or stuck under the hood? Are there any abandoned buildings around your area? If so, maybe Winnie is in there hiding and too scared to come out. Since she was abandoned by her former owner, could she have gone back to her previous home?

My prayers continue for Winnie's swift and safe return. [[[[[HUGS]]]]] being sent for you

I thought about the car motor too. I went and checked. I can't get the hood up any more but I did call and there is no answer. I go out that way several times a day and have called and listened for her with no answer. It's not like her to be afraid of any dog. She's chased dobermans out of the yard before.

The house she used to live in is right beside mine. Only a few feet away. It's shut up with no way for her to get inside. As for old buildings, our entire town is littered with them. Cats go down into the sewers sometimes too.

One thing that tells me Winnie is not on the property is Lilac. She had beat Lilac up so often, she won't come near the place if Winnie is any where near here. Believe me she keeps looking around for her.

She will just have to come back on her own. I'm at my wits end.

Lilac is a good indicator & I'd trust her to know the territory. You are
doing everthing possible to find Winnie. I'll pray too, that she shows up soon.

Hugs for Chester,Angel & Grandma. (((Hugs)))

Speaking on Angel, the little darling pulled one of the curtains in the bedroom down ... twice today! I can hardly climb up to put it back up. She has been banned from that room for now.

Thanks again everyone for the prayers and well wishes for Winnie.

Do you think she may be stuck up a tree and too scared to come down - perhaps frightened by the dawgs that sent her up there??? Then again, she'd meow.......

Oh please Winnie, enough is enough. Come back!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I peeked out the door one more time before bedtime and there she was.
You can bet I scooped her up and hugged her. Now the problem is what do I do now?

I thought I'd put her in the bathroom with Angel for the night but Angel is hissing and throwing a fit. She's forgotten her own mommy!

So, right now, Angel is in the bathroom and Winnie is locked in the kitchen. Chester and Grandma are in the middle room, front room and bed room. As much as I hate having a litter box in my bed room, I guess for the night, I'll need to put one in there with some food and water and keep Grandma and Chester in here with me and out of the kitchen.

Now the fun begins. Trying to see if I can get them to all get along together. I can't let Winnie back outside. She might not come back next time. She is spooked for sure. But all is ok for tonight.

Thanks you all dear friends for all the prayers for us. Please keep them coming that somehow this all works out for all of us!!!

I came to my 'puter to see you online and replying to this thread. I was dreading what I was about to read but then the LES started. Oh I'm so happy............I've got tears rolling down my cheeks. She probably just went on a field trip.....and without telling you where she was going....talk about a nawtee kitty!!!

I sure hope you can keep her inside from now on but understand if you can't. God will bring you the answer. Keep the faith.

{{{hugs}}}

Oh Winnie darling - many kisses planted on that cute grey head of yours.

Oh Moff - isn't it wonderful being a "parent"...........??

I think I would just tell them "like it is" - all of you get along or ALL of you can go live in the shed.

I know that when I talk to Rascal and firmly say o.k. - enough is enough - it must be the tone of my voice because he stops.

Annie looks at me like I couldn't possibly mean her - she is so perfect.

[Moesha]

I had the same feeling as Slick. But I am SO HAPPY to read that she is back home!!!!! Welcome home Winnie!! Believe me I'm going to be following this thread to see how you deal with having them all get along. Right now I am just so happy for you and for Winnie.

[kitten645]

Thank goodness! Yay for Winnie! Now you stay put missy!

[Catty1]

OMG!!! HOW GREAT!!!!!

Now you older kitties just learn to get along with the new ones, k? Miss Winnie could get all lost again!

At least they can sniff and paw under closed doors....

Maybe Winnie had some odd smell on her from being wherever she was...and that is what Angel was upset about.

This is just the BEST news!

When we got our latest kitty, Mau Mau, we kept her in a seperate room for one night, then let the cats take turns being in the living room, den, and kitchen. The next day, they all got used to the scent of the new cat being in the house. The next day, we put Mau Mau in a cat carrier and set her in the middle of the living room. The other cats did the usual hissing and growling. We put her back in her room and repeated this the next day. By the third day, the cats were playing pawsies under the door. We brought her out in the carrier that night for awhile and then let her out. No hisses or anything, they were all chirping at each other and now, they are all best buds. It just takes a little time. So glad Winnie is home!!!
