Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Oliver is missing! Urgent Purr Request
My heart is breaking. I cannot find Oliver anywhere. We had company this weekend and they had been extremely diligent about making sure that Oliver didn't bolt but he might have snuck out when the luggage was being dragged out. We turned the apartment upside down and are now pretty sure that he slipped out. Oliver is an indoor car that hasn't gone out without his harness and leash on since we found him when he was 12 weeks old so he probably is not very street savvy. He is so afraid of cars and little kids he may have run away when he heard either one. He is micro chipped and we've alerted the registry that he is missing. We also called the local emergency animal clinic and local emergency animal shelter. We're printing posters now. I cannot even think what life would be like without him. Please purr for us and if you have any suggestions let me know.  SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com Homing purrs on the way for Oliver to come back home!!! Please keep us posted.

Turns out that he was in the house in a space we never knew existed under our buffet. I am glad that I found him because it was very hard to hear him and he could have died trapped under there.

It was a very scary situation for us and now that he is found we're all exhausted. Your purrs meant a lot to us!

Maybe he's just hanging outside scared to move? > <<hugs>> > Jazz & his mama Thank you so much! He was trapped in the house. I was also thinking he was too scared to move but we're guessing he was probably napping under the buffet when it was moved and only decided to make noise when he wanted out to eat. He really didn't seem too fazed. In fact he went back under there ehwn my husband was trying to examine the space to make sure Oliver hadn't damaged anything.

My cat, Cinders, got trapped in the hall closet today, for the third time in the last two months. I hung my suit up in there when I came home from church today, and she sneaked into the closet to make sure that no greeblings were hiding inside. An hour later, I noticed muffled meows coming from that direction. The question now is, who will learn the lesson first: will I learn to always check the closet floor before closing the door, or will she learn that sneaking into the closet is a good way to get trapped in a boring place?

Please purr > for us and if you have any suggestions let me know. Oh no! THe kitties are all purring up a storm back home, as am I on the road. My suggestions would be: * Check really thoroughly that he's not hiding in the house, and * Check out sites like http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/lost_ct1.htm. Kitties behahavior changes redically when they get stuck outdoors. Dan M via Flying J WiFi from Troutdale, OR >> I cannot even think what life would be like without him.

It was very scary for allof us while he was missing but I am happy to report he is found and in good shape! Thank you for the Purrs.

It is still possible that he is in the house because he might have gone into hiding when luggage was being taken out. Cats can hide in remarkably small places and may stay there for a long time, especially if frightened. Since he may be outside, I would suggest that you put out some treats to tempt him -- something like a cans of tuna fish so that he will notice the scent. *If it is safe,* leave your door cracked open and place a plate of tuna just inside the door. I had something similar happen many years ago, and I had to give up after hours of looking. I slept on a sofa near the door (open a crack with tuna inside, as I described). When I woke up, my cat was sitting on the sofa, looking down at me! MaryL >>My heart is breaking. I cannot find Oliver anywhere. We had company >>this weekend and they had been extremely diligent about making sure that [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > MaryL Thank you for all the great suggestions! You were right, he was in the house. He was exploring and got trapped when we moved some furniture back. I did leave the door cracked open, hoping that he would show up. I feel sorry for my guests because I made them unpack their suitcases to make sure he hadn't crawled into them. He actually loves getting into them and laying on all the folded clothing! Thanks again! Margaret SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com Purrs are on their way. -- Joy > My heart is breaking. I cannot find Oliver anywhere. We had company > this weekend and they had been extremely diligent about making sure that [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Margaret Fine > mefine@mindspring.com Joy, we found him! I am positive that it was everyone's purrs that made me look at just the eight time to see his little paw sticking out from under the buffet. He is getting extra kisses and tuna from all of us tonight! He doesn't seem to think being missing was a big deal but is accepting the tuna and kisses anyway!

I cannot find Oliver anywhere. I'm coming in late on this so couldn't send purrs but am *so* delighted that Oliver was found safe and sound. Thank goodness. I know and understand the terror of having a kitty gone missing and my heart aches for all who have to go through that. I'm so glad for you all - - and give Oliver a gentle hug for me.
