Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Nanki-Poo and I could use some prayers
This morning Nanki-Poo was following me around. He never let me get one full step ahead of him. Today was wash day. He followed me into the garage when I went out to put in the clothes to wash. I figured it would be okay, since he was sticking so close. However, he saw the back door and immediately went out into the back yard. That was several hours ago, and I haven't seen him since. I hadn't shown him the cat door yet, so I don't know if he could get in. I put a dish of food in the garage, and it hasn't been touched. He might have been afraid to come back into the garage while the washer and dryer were running, but there's still no sign of him. I did go to my movie, and since I got home a few minutes ago, I've left the back door open a little, in hopes that he'll come back and come in. I don't think he'd deliberately run away. He seemed really happy to be here. However, he might have gone too far in his explorations and gotten lost. I walked around the block before I went to my movie, and looked when I came home. All I can do is hope and pray he finds his way back. There's a slight chance he got into the house without my seeing him and is in one of his hiding places, but I doubt it. The really weird thing is that since I first realized he wasn't in the back yard, Lindy has gone around the house and yard, calling and acting as though she's looking for him. I have no idea whether she really is, but that's what it seems like. -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Nanki-Poo I meant to say purrs the first time. -- Joy Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out. -- John Wooden > This morning Nanki-Poo was following me around.

No, that isn't right - he doesn't "heel"; he "toes". He plasters himself to my leg and tries to lead me. I don't think I've seen you over here before, so welcome!

Today I'm going to show him how to come *in* the cat door. He'll figure out how to get out sooner or later, but I want to make sure he can get in if he is out. Then I won't worry about him so much.

Now I >can breathe again. I was a little confused at first to see another Nanki-Poo besides David's. I should try to keep up a little more. :) He sounds like a cutie. I wish cats would always come when you call them! Whether Betty comes when called seems to depend on what state she's in. She comes 0% of the time when napping, about 50% of the time when she's in a favorite meatloaf spot, and about 80% at other times. > >Thank you, Christina.

I know what you mean about cats coming when you call them. Skeeter (RB) usually did, Lindy does sometimes. Nanki-Poo (mine, that is) hasn't yet responded to a call. Okay, he probably doesn't know his name yet, but he doesn't respond to "Kitty, kitty" either. Joy Henri RB always came when I whistled for him,wherever he was, and sometimes I telepathed him home, could tell a story about that, Wilson can be one of them B-----cats but he does come running when I call him so I guess I can say, he can be good too Jean.P. > > >Thank you, Christina.

Sammy used to play that game with me when she was a kitten until about 1 year old. She'd dart out the door, and I'd end up chasing her around. More than once I lost track of her, head out to the truck for a flashlight, only to find she was watching me hunt under the bushes form the bedroom window. Sammy insists she didn't send Nanki_poo any suggestions, but I'm not so sure SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky (RB) stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html > >Thank you, Christina.

Now I can breathe again. Oh yes, the feline game of "watch the human search for me". I have gone through that on several occasions. I have also done this and eventually found that the cat was shut in a closet, or had slipped outside, so it is just as well that you searched. SignatureJohn F.

Tweed > >> All I can do is hope and pray he finds his way back. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tweed Purrs and prayers. I know how upsetting this can be. Remember when FSP came to live with us and simply took off down the street. He is probably close by and you will need to start enquiring in ever increasing circles. The sooner the better I would say - someone will have seen him. Good Luck.

The little stinker had sneaked back into the house and was calmly lying on my bedroom windowsill, concealed by the drapes. Joy > Harri Roadcat? LOL! Kitty Farmcat sends her regards to Harri Roadcat. It > can be important to have a surname, she says. > > Tweed Yep, Tabitha insisted that Harri needed a middle name. Since I made the final arrangments for the pickup from a truck stop in Peculiar, MO Nancy thinks Harri's full name ought to me Harrier Peculiar Mahoney, but I'm thinking "Roadcat" might be more appropriate than "Peculiar".
