Mickey is safe and sound at home.  I am thankfully not in a location where there are hawks and birds of prey but the Kitty Holster brand has a solution to that.  They put large "eyes" on the back of the vest of the harness and it makes birds think it is an animal they need to fear and so they...

Thank  you Plushcookie, he is home and has had 2 more times of getting out since then.  He has gotten better at just walking a few feet and sitting and waiting to have me pick him up....the brat!  I am looking into getting a Kitty Holster for him too as he could not get out of it and I can trust...

The only one I will use is the Kitty Holster.  It is made of cotton fabric with some velcro fastenings. And Sammi did the same thing laying down and refusing to move and now he gets really excited when it comes out because he knows it means he can go outside.  It is worth the effort to find this...

Today when Sammi went out on the Kitty Holster and leash, I put Mickey in the carrier and let him sit in the doorway with the door open and he settled down.  He did not hang around the door when Sammi came back in so I think that he is a sporadic and opportunity based door dasher.  I am having...

Postscript to all this: Mickey got out again today and was gone for most of the day.  I had made plans to go out with a friend and her husband this evening and was just called that they were almost at my home and I thought that I would try one last time before leaving to call Mickey.  I kept my...

There was a type of gem called a star sapphire and in that class if the star was only one ray instead of six they called it a cat's eye.  Perhaps this is what you mean.  It is a beautiful thing and I think it is actually more lovely than the actual star marked ones.  They were usually blue or...

Thank you all so very much for all the support and suggestions.  I do not think it would have been as bearable if I had not had you all to keep me focused.  And I never have to worry about feeling silly because you all are cat lovers too.  

A friend sent this to celebrate my finding my 2nd cat kid safely after he ran away from home last night.  I think it says it all.

He had been feral for the first year of his life and was in a shelter for 4 months then with me almost 2 months.  I could see him going out and deciding that he liked the footloose and fancy free life of a hobo cat and saying goodbye...I guess this life and love has made an impression on him.  I...

I have good news....he is home.  I had no luck (and no sleep) last night but this morning Sammi begged and begged to go out.  He has a Kitty Holster that he wears on a lead and it is safe so I decided to let him out.  He was out about 20 minutes and I heard some "chatter" outside so went to look...

I just got through talking to the people from the microchip company.  They told me to put out the bag of soiled litter for him to follow home.  Sammi has been pacing and crying for the whole time Mickey has been gone.  I went out to call him and search but it is too dark now to see anything so I...

Mickey got out when I opened the door to admit a guest tonight.  He has not been gone long but I tried to follow him out to see if I could catch him.  I was not able to get near him.  He is microchipped and is fairly street wise as far as traffic goes but do cats usually return home when they...

Both my boys love wet and newly washed hair but unfortunately I do not give them much access to it when I am up and out of the shower.  It is funny that they love hair so much and hopefully they find some other thing they love to nosh on as well.  I was mainly concerned that it meant they had a...

True enough...now if I can just find a way to get him to be a heating pad when I need one.  He is WARM.

Phase 2 has been initiated ....  I went in to take a nap and he curled up on my shoulder and poked his nose in my ear and every breath he took sounded like a hurricane ripping through my skull.  LOL.  I cannot scold him.  He is just too cute.

I am so happy to have heard these answers.  I am not disturbed by it at all and due to the fact that the main one doing this is the cat that came from a shelter not too long ago and he hates being petted or even touched during the day so I am thinking that the love is warming his little heart...

At some time every night I wake up to Mickey giving the top of my head a wash and then chewing and licking my hair.  It is short and I have wondered if they think I am another cat and am needing a friendly gesture.  I see them do this to each other during the day but I suppose night time is the...
