missing cat/suspicious neighbor!!

I just now saw this and I hope Marvin returns. I know this has to weigh on you...sending thoughts and prayers that Marvin returns!

I haven't been on for awhile and was hoping Mavin would be back home in your arms. I'm so sorry to hear he isn't

I have faith he will be home he just decided to take a venture try to think of it this way maybe it will help you .

You and Mavin are in my heart sending you a angel

my friend
to watch over you both.

thanks guys... I haven't given up hope.

The 7-11 by me took down my new fliers and the 7-11 in the other direction refused to put it up

Still no Marvin. It's been one month and one day.

I think somebody took him.

I'm sorry about Marvin. When I was little this lady stole our cat Ebony. She denied it, but we saw him in her window! Plus her neighbours confirmed she'd been feeding him regularly before we moved.

People can be so mean. I hope at least where ever Marvin is he is safe and well.

madini, I will be up there for the next week. I don't know where you are located, but we will be looking for him in our area (NW area).
Lots of the college kids are starting to arrive, so don't give up.

Oh no.

I was so badly hoping you would have your Marvin back!!!!

I am located in the NW area of Norman... between 36th and Tecumseh/Robinson.

On top of this, my landlord says I cannot keep Pete!!!! He says I cannot "replace" a cat that has died/disappeared. What the hell??



He also said something about the new cat replacing the one that "went to the pound."

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN????? Maybe I'm paranoid but could my landlord have stolen my cat and taken him to the pound?

I am so pissed!!!

I think you need to have a talk with your landlord and review your lease agreement and see about making a deposit for your cat if ok.

I am not clear about the landlord thing overall. Was your last cat ok to have on your lease? Please explain .

By the way, have you walked around the neighborhood lately looking for your little boy Marvin? Even now, he could be in the area but scared. Also it sounds like you live in an apartment complex. It could be harder for him to find his way home.

Oops I'm sorry, I read your recent posts and it sounds like you have searched nearby to your home to find little Marvin.

I thought when I lost my Toby that our connection was so strong I would know and he would find me or I would find him if he were nearby. Well it did not work out that way. He was stuck in the neighbor's garage and he made no signal nor did he cry for me or even know me when I finally got him 3 days later.

So even if your bond is strong, I hate to say it but he could be nearby and you don't know it. I would push your neighbors to search their properties, their sheds, their window wells, and most important, their garages.

As for your landlord, let us know the story on him and Marvin. Did you have a deposit or clause in your lease? What was his position?

The problem is I don't have a lease - I live in a house owned by the business I work for. My boss is the landlord. I have lived here for five years and moved here (from California) with my three cats. They said that was fine. My boss has since decided that I cannot get a new cat if one dies. I don't believe that is fair at all. My whole life I have had three cats! What difference does it make?

When I first got here the cats scratched up the rug by my door (about a foot by half-foot area) but I don't feel too badly as the rug is absolutely filthy and already ruined to begin with by previous people who have lived here and needs to be replaced ASAP. They simply hate cats, but they wanted me to move here so they said I could bring them. I WOULD NOT HAVE MOVED HERE IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN they hated cats so much and would decide I could not have them.

I don't pay rent but they pay me less because I live in this house. If I moved out they would not pay me more. I make very little money.

I feel that I need to stick to my guns because my boss could be helping my cats disappear in an effort to remove all cats from the house.

I just don't understand where Marvin would have gone. He did not wander far, ever. My feeling is that someone took him.

Here is my handsome guy:

I thought it might be good to "refresh" Marvin's pics in this thread

.
And

to let you know we're still keeping you guys in our prayers

Is there any document/bill of rights that you signed when you entered their housing? If not, who says you can't keep Pete (can they force you to get rid of him?)

Your boss does sound really suspicious (check with the local pound, again?). If they are paying you less b/c they're housing you, can you ask for the equivalent as a housing stipend? (Of course, there's always the question of how much you love your job, including how good is the environment for you if your boss is so overbearing ... I'm not in your shoes, so maybe these questions are unreasonable I really feel for you , with Marvin missing, and the possibility of having to rehome Handsome Pete ) Please try to continue hanging in there and staying strong, and hopeful .

P.S. Don't forget to try listing (free) in the lost classifieds on www.petfinder.com, too!

Please Come Home, Marvin!

My daughter is between Tecumseh & Robinson, just off of 35. The cats we saw in her complex so far do NOT look like Marvin, but I will let her know how close you are so she can keep her eyes open. And she will talk to her friends in the area.

thanks so much Mom of 4.

I miss my Marvin so much.
