Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Buster is on walkabout
Buster has apparently decided to go on walkabout. A couple of days ago, he insisted on going outside. As soon as I opened the door, he rushed off, to points west. We haven't seen him since then. I've put up posters, and have been calling him, and checking the surrounding field and wooded areas, in hopes he'll come home soon. Still no sign of him. When he came to us a few years ago, he was a feral (but very friendly) tomcat, and would disappear for a week at a time before stopping by to let us know he was still around, so I am not extremely worried for him. Still, he has been mostly indoors for the last year or so, and is now neutered, so I am worried. Not to mention, the temperatures are in the upper 90's to low 100's. I could use some "get your furry little butt home" purrs, for Buster to come back soon. Hugs and Purrs, Mark Darn :( Purrs for a quick return. > Buster has apparently decided to go on walkabout. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Hugs and Purrs, > Mark > > I could use some "get your furry little butt home" purrs, for Buster > > to come back soon. > > > > Hugs and Purrs, > > Mark Many many purrs that he gets his fuzzy butt home soon. I know how you feel as Miss Lily Whiskers has been gone the best part of 36 hours. Helen M Huge purrs coming from us on Buster's behalf -- sorry to be late coming to this ...

If he has been feral, he would not forget how to find a cool spot and lie low. Having had a loving home, he won't forget how to get there once he has chilled out.

Also try hanging your sox and.or underwear outside on your fence or shrubs so he can detect familiar odors. (I wish I could locate the original posting of this idea.) Best wishes for Buster to find his home. MLB > Perhaps you could try walking the star shaped pattern in your > neighborhood in your bare feet. This sounds like some kind of incantation. Is it a magic ritual? Or a meditation walk? > Also try hanging your sox and.or underwear outside on > your fence or shrubs so he can detect familiar odors. Eek! I wouldn't want my neighbors to see my undies hanging over my fence! Nonetheless, Get Home Buster!! Your humans are worried about you!

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Purrs, > Joyce It was posted to Anecdotes about 3 years ago by a fellow who had been hunting for his wandering cat. He said it worked. Nothing magical, except animals have a good sense of smell and he figured it would lead the cat home......and it did. I was impressed with his ingenuity.

MLB I was just referring to the 5-pointed star, which sounded vaguely Wiccan. And the bare feet idea gave it a certain ritualistic feel. Hey, if you have to go sit on your fence in your underwear, I guess it's worth it if it brings Buster home, right? :) I don't know, though - I tried all sorts of suggestions from many different sources, to try to find Smudge, and in the end, she looked out a window and saw me, and that's how we found each other!

I was impressed with his ingenuity. MLB I know cats have good noses, but would think that means they know what how smells like without the underwear. One suggestion when calling cats. Always call from home. Or at least walk as far from home as you plan to go before you start calling, and then call as you head back home. Seems to me most outdoor cats do pretty well in their own territory, but can get lost if the wander or get chased or scared further away than that. You start calling to them from two blocks away it only makes it worse. At least that is true with mine. They aren't about to come running up to me wagging their tails saying "Mom you found me!" But calling, especially at night when sound carries and they feel safer gives them some direction. Jo > I could use some "get your furry little butt home" purrs, for Buster > to come back soon. Absolutely. Hope Buster turns up soon, and safely. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Purrs and prayers that Buster comes home soon.

Eeek, is everyone disappearing? Purrs that he comes home. I remember it was a while before you were able to keep him in most of the time, so I'm sure you're right about him knowing how to cope outside. > I could use some "get your furry little butt home" purrs, for Buster > to come back soon. Many GYFLBH purrs on the way to Buster. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Lots of get your butt home purrs. The one good thing is that as a former feral he know the area very well. It's probably just a b*st*rd cat trick.
