Thanks, Wasabipea. I wish good things for your Roni.
Roger (my husband) thinks someone may have taken her in, and is keeping her as an indoor only cat. I doubt it. We live next to greenspace (not a public park, exactly, more an area that's deliberately allowed to grow wild) with a small stream running through it, and coyotes are endemic to the area. There have been news reports that just a few miles from us they were jumping privacy fences to steal small pets from back yards. She was 13, and had been an indoor only cat since we got her; there's no way she could have survived on her own, although she was friendly enough to have visited a neighbor, and conceivably could have taken refuge there. But I've asked, and no one says they've seen her.
Every spring someone posts a lost cat sign on a light pole in our neighborhood, and it's always still there in the autumn. That's because the cat is never found.
And every once in a while I'll hear a cat crying outside my window, and I always go check, and it's never her.
And I should have insisted on evicting the house guests who did it the minute I realized they were responsible. It would have saved me from some physical abuse at the hands of one of them. Live and learn.
