Well this is the first time i have ever used a site like this but i am so desperate for some feedback or someone to share their lost cat stories with me because i am running low on hope of ever finding him at this point.
My cat - Spunki went missing on 7/18 I let him out around 9:00pm as usual. He would stay around our yard or cross over to the neighbors house. He enjoyed the large grassy lot to hunt mice and critters in. Spunki is a very large tiger cat - he weighs 18lbs so he does not wander too far and roam the neighborhood.
But when he wants to he can jump and run like any other cat!! So i can only imagine he was probably chased away from home by another animal.
I started looking for him as soon as i realized he was not responding when i called him home around midnight. He was nowhere in the general area. I talked to all of my neighbors, searched their yards, put up flyers and large posters. I received 2 calls one on 7/26 and on 7/28 both callers saw Spunki in the area of Cromwell Pizza. They both saw he was wearing his red collar with a bell and that he was a very large black/grey tiger cat. So i know for sure it was him.
I set out traps and had no luck catching him. Now about a week has passed-no sightings of him at all. I borrowed a wildlife camera a set up a bunch of food in hopes he would come out of hiding.....I filmed a cat that looked like him but it was hard to tell the color cause its a night vision camera. Anyway I was sure it was him. Last night i caught a cat in the trap only to realize that he was the one i saw on the camera and it was not my Spunki after all.
I am just beside myself!! I cannot even function today. I had my hopes up so high I cannot tell you how sad and scared i am that i will never get him back.
Has anyone lost their cat for long periods of time and end up getting them back. Please share and strength and hope you may have i really could use some.
If you have any suggestions feel free to share them.
Thanks,
Pam
