Fuck, my cat is gone and it's all my fault

[Madratlady]

Girlcat escaped from her carrier outside the vets and was over the nearest fence and gone before I could grab her. It was my fault, I didn't clip it up properly. The vets is 7 miles away. We searched for a couple of hours with no luck. I'm doing some posters and leaflets. I just want her home. She's chipped at least so someone might find her and take her to the vets.

I've been lurking here, and I'm really pleased to hear the positive news -- about the baby and about the prospects for a safe cat return!
Best of luck!

I saw (but couldn't help) a frightened lost collie dog today. Heartbreaking to think of his nervousness and the owners' worry and sadness.

Good luck. Everything crossed for you xx

She somehow ate the tuna but managed not to trigger the trap!

Trying again tonight.

Nooooo!!

BUT at least she went into the trap. So near and yet so far......

I am willing her to come back to you. x

Fingers crossed. ( Little Bisom that she is.)

Wishing you loads of luck with this - be patient, it will happen

At least she knows there is food there so hopefully she'll be back.

DH recently had to trap an injured stray and it took three weeks. He'd perfected hoiking the food out but eventually we got him.

Here's hoping for a lovely reunion with you and girl cat.

Was it definitely her who ate the tuna?

Fingers crossed for tonight.

Everything crossed that madcat comes back for tuna tonight and that you have her home safe with you very soon.

Oh do come on Madcat - we're all waiting here, breaths held.
Good luck Madratlady.

Yes Madcat. just get in the trap already.

Here, kitty kitty kitty....

Arghhhh doesn't she know we are all waiting to hear if she's ok.

No news yet. Awkward animal that she is!

Oh you naughty MadCat, come back!

Is real baby home though?

Human baby is home. Boycat is fascinated, we think that he understands that it's a people kitten and he meows when ds cries and acts worried when we change ds's nappy because he screams when we do.

Aww. He must be very confused.

I've always thought cats can understand babies are our young, despite not really looking like adult humans really.

He's taking it very well. We just need his friend back and everything will be great.

Although onesies are doing a good job of making adults look like babies

Madrat just wanted to share that my girlcat went missing whilst I was pregnant and we actually thought she had been ran over, 2 weeks after she first went missing we found her safe and well but rather skinny, in a local builder's yard.

I'd been so emotional and worried about her but we got her home in the end. I hope your girlcat is home safe soon too.

Just de-lurking to say Many Congratulations Madratlady to you and your DH on the birth of your son. Wishing you all health and happiness for 2014, and hoping that GirlCat is home with you very soon
