Our lovely Molly, the sweetest, beautifully natured 18 year old girl hasn’t been home for a few days now, coincidentally since the very hot Thursday of the heatwave. She’d been coming home during the night as that was the only time her food was being eaten but I figured that she was enjoying the warmth or finding a shady spot.
Shes always been very much an outdoor cat, we live semi rurally so she’s always had lovely fields and gardens to explore.
We have called for her but she’s not come - the last year or so she’d taken to being very vocal and yowling loudly around the place and we’ve not heard her.
She was quite thin and straggly due to her age and I suspect her kidneys weren’t working so well so I’m thinking she took herself off somewhere quiet as cats sometimes do.
This is the worst way as there is no closure, on the other hand it would have been kinder to her than a stressful vet trip.
We will miss you our beautiful girl 💕
