It's now been six years since Ike walked out the door and never
returned.

I remember when it happened.  How sad.  We never forget our special
kitties.

Let us pray that he found another home.   My  Siamese (RB 16) came to me
as a stray about two to four years old, and stayed with me for 14 years.
I tried for months to find her owners and watched the "lost and found"
daily for a year but no one came forward.  I was the lucky one.  

My present cat was found lost and starving as a kitten.  She is now eight
years old.

It's unlikely that Ike found another home (except in the belly of a
predator).  I live in a very remote area and know most of my neighbors.
I walk a lot and would have seen him.  He was 14 when he left and
suffered from asthma.  When his coughing spells got bad the vet would
give him a prednisone shot - which is not good for the heart.  My two
cats (Amber and Tiger) are strictly inside cats.

I remember the day when you posted he was missing- seems like it was only a
few weeks ago.  Its hard to believe its been 6 years.

Since you don't know, with certainty, what happened to him there's still a
possibility that someone took him in.  Someone passing through the area and
thought he was a stray could have picked him up and gave him a home.

I've heard stories about cats traveling >1000 miles and showing up at their
former homes years later. So,
never underestimate a cat.

Keep the faith, Mike.

I had a cat disappear when I was about 12 or 13, and discovered him -
alive - when I was in my eartly 20's.  A neighbor had kidnapped him and
taken him to college with her.  She then roomed with someone I knew
from highschool who subsequently ended up with him.  I went over to her
house one day and saw *my* cat - 10 years later.  He recognized me.  I
had a picture of him as a kitten, so we compared it - and it *was* him
(I knew it was already).  Just too weird.

Theft of a companion animal in my state is a third degree felony and carries
3-5 years or a $15,000 fine or both. If someone kidnapped my cat I think
they would hope for a long prison term because it would take much longer
than 3-5 years before that person was able to eat solid food and walk again
if I ever go my hands on them.

What did you do to the person who kidnapped him?

A troll acting out his tough guy wanna-be fantasies on the Internet.

A troll?  Do you know what that means?  You just spout that word off to
anyone.

Looks like you're stalking Phil if you're digging up 2 month old posts
of his to hump.

Well yes. Do you know the meaning of life?

No digging, it's right there in my message list.

Yeah, he's a real a psycho- and a stupid one at that.  He doesn't realize
everyone probably thinks he's a jerk.

Thanks Phil.  Ike would be 20 now and he was not a healthy cat so I
assume he would not be alive now even if he had not disappeared.  Tiger
and Amber stay in!

You're keeping his spirit alive by keeping your love for him alive.
