Hi all, my cat Marvin has been gone for two days. I last saw him Monday morning. He is three years old and he's never gone far/been gone this long.
I took his photo and asked around with my neighbors this afternoon. Two people who live in the cul-de-sac across the street said they have had many cats vanish over the years. One of them said she is sure someone is taking them. She said she thought it was the old man a few houses down from her.
Well I went to ask the old man and his wife and they both said they haven't seen my cat. I said I was worried because I had been told someone in the neighborhood takes cats. The man said, "They all think it is me." I asked why people think it is him, he told me, "Because I take 'em." I said WHAT and he said he hates cats. I asked where he takes them and he said "I take them down by the river and let them fend off the coyotes." Meanwhile his wife was behind him saying he was just joking, that no no he doesn't do that.
I asked him, "Did you take my cat?!" and he said "No, I told you, I haven't seen this cat." I pressed him about where he takes the cats and he said he takes the cats to the animal shelter and half the time they tell him to bring the cats back where he found them.
I am praying my cat did not go in his yard. I have never seen him go that far, but I am really worried he did and this piece of crap captured him and killed him or drove him off to the middle of nowhere.
I don't know what to do. I don't trust this ******* when he says he didn't take him. Before I was just sad and worried, and now I am so furious I could explode. Btw, I also had a cat disappear five years ago. I am just sick with grief/worry.
Does anyone have any advice? The shelter/police are closed today for the 4th. Tomorrow I am going to put up flyers.
