Wow! To everyone, thank you! I am so interested in all the conversation. I have my own tendencies but I feel like I have two months of tired sitting on me combined with complete relaxation that comes with relief. Lol I’m not much more than a big old rubber band of human right now.
tabbytom no more waking up with pounding hearts! Tell January that all the calls to Thrasher got through! Hugs and purrs sent back!
Time did crawl. Maybe it just stopped for us here. It’s working now though! Flowers are blooming, cats are purring and the sun is shining.
Mamanyt1953 The glow of the candle lit her way. I love your candles! Thank you candles aren’t nearly enough to express my gratitude.
N NY cat man We don’t need an emoji when we can say it with Hallelujah!!!! Glorious Day! You sure nailed it about BJ. He was astounding to watch. Does anyone ever talk about search and rescue cats because I can tell you now, that is a thing!!!’
I am so glad that little kitten has established a home. When I saw the photo with the paw extended to the camera, it really hit home with me. I immediately thought of Wanda Heart and Prints. Who could ever let go of such a precious one? That is going to be a love bug!
Make your eyes bleed? Lolololol Don’t do that! Taking your word for the answer.
gilmargl You May have missed the step by step but the excitement is still here. Celebration time! Thank you! Thrasher is one amazing kitty! BJ too! The bond among cats is something I have often described but something we don’t often get to see demonstrated so dramatically.
rubysmama Isn’t it great to wake up and find the world better?!?!?! It starts in a small spot but the ripples go on forever!!! The pool at Chez Catbird is sparkling again. It really was like a replay of the night BJ came in. It really made me wonder if the cats all had it planned from the start. “That human will let us all in if we don’t overwhelm her. Girls, you go fist and take the kittens. I’ll bring up the rear after the younger boy cats. “ Lol It worked and Thrasher remembered the procedure. Enter through the back, being sure that no possums or raccoons come in with you. Allow the human to think she is in charge by letting her feel important when shutting the door. Don’t eat her. She doesn’t taste like chicken but she knows where to get some. Cats are brilliant!
Lari BJ is an exceptional cat. That face! He is a true protector too. It has been an amazing experience for me to be allowed into the lives of these cats. Although I have always loved and observed cats, I am constantly shown a deeper understanding. Seeing BJ face the place he had escaped from for one of his own.... it brought tears to my eyes. When Thrasher heard me say his name she answered and when she saw him, they touched noses and she knew he was there for her. That was the moment her whole demeanor changed and she left her hiding place. She trusted him so completely that she followed him across the most dangerous place in her eyes, open field. She just followed him back! Trust and love between them. It was absolutely beautiful. I am so very grateful to BJ for being BJ. I am quite sure that this was a once in a lifetime chance for me to witness such an intimate communication between two cats. I would trust and follow BJ too.
There is a thread on site about whether or not you think your cat would save your life. Yes.
Rest? Lololol It took a long time to get this tired. I’m going to update and keep working on the rest a bit at a time. No rush now. She is safe. Thank you.
Very glad you had a good Mother’s Day. Such a very special day for you now. Hugs to Baby J.
pearl99 Ahhhh! Yes. She is in. Finally. The days searching seemed endless but finally and end. A happy ending. While I am quite sure Thrasher has no desire to be back outside, I am curious as to what she keeps looking at. I know of the other cats out there. Could she be hoping for them to come too? I saw Mitsy go after Wanda Heart and return after leading her here. I am watching. I do think Thrasher agreed with Waffles, life inside is much better.
tarasgirl06 It was all about hanging in there wasn’t it? Now I am so thankful! I have gone from the dread of another dark painful day into what feels like a blast of rainbow filled sky and floating on clouds. The contrast is striking but one makes us value the other. Life does that but the wait is well worth it to have my heart equally divided back among the kitties, where it belongs. My hand holds purrs now.
Thrasher is happily accepting all snorgles. The more the better! BJ is accepting tuna rewards. Lol He is laying across my shoulders right now. His favorite place. Mine too.
BellaGooch I know! The patience wasn’t always easy but the hope was always easy. Dear BJ and the Clowder are over the moon too! Kodiak was soooo funny. She kept climbing the curtain to see over the crowd of cats gathered at the glass door to greet Thrasher. She hung on the curtain as long as she could. She is a smaller cat and she finally resorted to jumping straight up to look, over and over and over again. Springs in her feet and joy in her heart. Praising for it all!
pearl99 Indeed, indeed, indeed! Lololol
I can scarcely believe it myself!
M maggiedemi Yes! Almost two months of missing our girl! She is back with us all now though! Just as beautiful as ever. She came close to walking in before dark but then turned away. I was so frustrated at having her so close and then gone. Then, my last attempt to call her and find her I’m the dark again, she nonchalantly strolled in the cat room door! She stopped at the entrance and my heart stalled. She moved forward again a couple of times. Each time I worried sge
Rolling on. You can’t steal what is already inside you.
No. Don’t give up. Thrasher would not be back with us if I had given up and stopped looking. It was well worth holding on and rolling on. Even if it was a bumpy ride.
Whenallhellbreakslose That picture made me laugh! I love that you had that expression! Lolololol Happy surprises are hard to beat. Yay!!!! I know that ending came rather unexpectedly. Just when everyone thought the news for the day was fine, Thrasher fooled us all!
Happy Dance time!!!!!!’
