I went through that torture too,feels like someone ripped your heart out.
Cagney was missing for 10 days, and I about lost my mind. When I finally found her, hiding under the apt. building with just her beautiful yellow eyes shining out, I cant even describe the feeling!
Of course the little vixen was also pregnant, but that was in part my fault, and some good came of that, because now I have Rudy!
So, now she's spayed, and still meets me at the door, but no longer tries to run out.
Again, I'm so happy she's back...give her a cuddle for me!
