Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006Can't Find Abelard
He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since. When it's cold out he doesn't stay out longer than it takes to relieve himself, and it was very cold yesterday and last night, so I am majorly worried. I just finished a long walk & search (with Tommy & Eli tagging along). Gloria hasn't seen him either. I called so loud and often that I'm almost hoarse.... > He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since.

That is nothing for a cat you know that I know of cats that range up to 10 miles from home Do you have any place that he can hide close by remember think like a cat. But no matter what Purrs for the quick and a safe return >>> He is probably stuck in a garage somewhere Purrs for his safe return >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > But no matter what Purrs for the quick and a safe return That garage I mentioned belongs to a local mechanic and he's closed on weekends, so there's no way for Abelard to be trapped there. It's also on the other side of the highway, and Abelard would never set foot on that road. He's terrified of asphalt. The only place he could hide around here would be the barn and I've already been there. >>>> He is probably stuck in a garage somewhere Purrs for his safe return >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > The only place he could hide around here would be the barn and I've > already been there. Pat keep looking in the barn haven't you ever went looking for them only to come to find out that they are staring at you giving you that look of ha ha because you spent all that time looking for them while they were right under your nose > Pat keep looking in the barn haven't you ever went looking for them > only to come to find out that they are staring at you giving you that look > of ha ha because you spent all that time looking for them while they were > right under your nose He knows his way home from the barn. If he's in the barn he is not trapped and will come home when he's ready. Normally if he's been gone a while and is in the barn he will come to me when I call him down there. I don't believe he is in the barn this time. He would never spend the night in the barn when it's as cold as it got here last night. > He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since.

He probably is in the barn; he'll come home honey. He has before. Purrs for a quick homecoming. kili > He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since.

How many times has Abelard done this to you? Lots of times, yes? Stop worrying. He will be back soon, when he decides to. It seems to me that he just likes to wander and be away for a few days. Just to make you panic ;-) Tweed You know if I did not know that there is a cheap version gps tracking locator being made for the pet industry I would definitely invest in developing the technology >> He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since.

Seemed to know just how long to stay out to generate panic mode. He even managed to go camping in Alaska for a week by himself, and had a pet weasel by the time we actually caught up with him after that trek.

MLB I don't think you can ever cure Abelard of his wanderlust. We will just purr and pray that he is ok and will come home soon. How are you going to keep him indoors when you move?

How are you going to > keep him indoors when you move? The question should be how will he get out. Until I get a proper fence around the yard, none of the kitties will go outside. >> I don't think you can ever cure Abelard of his wanderlust.

SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > Any news on Abelard yet? Got two comfy kitties purring for him to get > back where it's warm. I guess your newsreader isn't getting the most recent messages. He's back. Thanks for your concern and purrs! Purrs for him to find his way home quickly!

It is an old story, but our Ginger was missing for three weeks (many years ago) Later we found he had been living in a neighbor's basement.He apparently came in and out of their open basement window. Purrs that Abelard will soon remember he has a home and return. MLB >He left yesterday (Saturday) morning and hasn't been seen since.

On my Catpage, there are two articles on this subject, namely: Finding your Lost Cat by Sharon Talbert, Seattle, WA, USA with an addendum by Jenna Steele http://blakjak.com/lost_cat.htm Lost Cat Behaviour by Kat Albrecht, Santa Cruz, California USA http://blakjak.com/lost_ct1.htm There are also links to a couple of other places. I hope that the advice in these articles helps, and that you find your Abelard. Both these articles are available as emails on request from me at David Stevenson <cat2@blakjak.com>.
