somehow Barbie must have gotten out of the house, and we can't find her, if

Here's hoping it's nothing more than a spectacular b*st*rd cat trick and
that she's home *soon*

Lee, can you put Matt in the penthouse and on the back porch and let him do
his thing, maybe she will hear him.  I am really sorry about this.

thank you for your positive thoughts, but she is so skittish and so easily
frightened of people.  Part of why we didn't take her to the shelter was
because she had ringworm and we figured that being a cage would damage her,
when we got that cleared up we had started working of socializing her to
other animals and us... she was doing great with everyone except Mathew
Harold, but he crowded her when she was in the penthouse, he isn't allowed
to have contact with the other cats yet.  She was doing very well with the
others, and was almost warming up to DH and was not running in terror from
me, I was just thinking that in another couple of weeks we could take her to
the small shelter where she would get good attention, Lee, rambling, I am
sorry for that

Purrs for the frightened kitty.  Perhaps toward the end of the day
when it's nearing dark and there are less people around-less "buzz"-
she will be calmer and will be more able to hear your voice-?

I was hoping that us sitting on the patio would attract her this morning but
no luck, the good news is that this is such a small town she will be safer
outside than most other places, thanks for the good thoughts, Lee

I,  more than most on the group, know what you guys have gone through for
Barbie.  You DID IT ALL RIGHT  you did NOT fail her, she was just acting on
instinct the way animals do.  Prayers for you and calming purrs for the rest
of the family.

I'm asking the owners to send out specially loud and welcoming purrs for
Barbie to get her furry blonde kitty butt home fast.  I'm also thinking get
home thoughts for her furryness.  You've done so much for her, I think Bast
will remember that.

I know she used to be a feral, but could she have chosen to behave like an
indoor cat, and gone into "survival mode"? i.e not appearing at all in
daylight, staying close to home, only moving when required to hunt or
locate water?

I don't know how many stray cats or other critters (skunks, coons, etc)
you guys have in your area. Would it be reasonable to put out a dish of
food at night, and see if it gets eaten? Man, I wish I had a trail camera
to send you guys! That way you could at least find out if she's coming
around after dark.

Dan
Stormmee - 20 May 2008 17:04 GMT
we have massive wildlife, even a litter of raccoons every year, it doesn't
matter what we put out it gets eaten, one of the things I do is put all of
the out of date stuff from work, minus chocolate, in the yard, it all gets
eaten by the next day, there are so many cats, that if I left the back door
open I would probably have more in than out in the end... the night before
Mathew Harold came in, him and another cat were on the back patio
fighting... we thought it was a love dance and MH was the girl... the next
night when DH walked onto the patio he came right to him and came in... DH
figures they weren't fighting over the patio, but rather who got to come
inside, Lee

You guys have quite a reputation with the local kitty population, I guess :)
Granby - 20 May 2008 18:02 GMT
Yep, it called "sucker" written across their foreheads.  Everytime I hear
them say, this is the last, I just smile and think, yeah, until the next one
comes along.  Good people just can't help they are the way they are.

I always mean it... and so does DH but what do you do when they are
obviously sent for us to take care, it would be a sin to look the other
way... it would be smarter to bring them in and then to the shelter
quickly... and we do that also, but if we bring one in and know it will be
pts because of a health issue we can't do that either... that is what would
have happened to Barbie, she had a case of ringworm, not bad but not
something a shelter even a no kill wants to deal with, Lee

Rhonda - 21 May 2008 07:16 GMT
Stormee,

Don't give up looking for her inside the house too. If she's not feeling
well and she's a hidey cat, she could be anywhere inside. Did you check
behind appliances, computers, dyers, open all drawers and closets, etc?
We once found our sick former-feral in the box springs of the bed.

If she is outside, do you have a garage door you could leave partially
open? Sometimes they hang around the house but don't know how to get
back in, and don't want to be out in the open like at the front door. We
got a dare-devil kitten back once by leaving the garage cracked open.

Good luck,

Rhonda

Stormmee - 21 May 2008 08:33 GMT
I am open to finding her but trying to not be unrealistic, we were very
upset she is gone, we tore the house apart, even the two rooms they aren't
allowed in as we thought she might have sneaked in... I am resigned to the
fact that she may not return, the way DH caught her in the first place was
to leave the front door open, it was very cold, we put the others in the
bedroom, left the front door open then he went out the back and came around
which spooked her far enough into the house he was able to step in and close
the door... she is so blasted smart that won't, I am sure work again,  thank
you so much for suggestions, I am always thinking, Lee
