I haven't seen my cat in 7 days and I don't think I ever will again.  I
let our 19 year old indoor/outdoor cat outside last monday night.  She
was clearly old, frail and in poor health but did not appear to be in
pain and spent the past weeks sleeping on our back porch.  She was a
roamer in her younger days but rarely ventured off our property in her
later days.

Perhaps something very bad happened to her but I'm thinking that maybe
she wandered off to die alone.  Someplace far away from my family & our
other pets.  I was hoping that when her time was up she would die closer
to our home, but I can't find her anywhere.  It's upsetting.

Does anyone have similar stories?
