Hi everyone! I thought I''d ask for some "found kitty" dust from you all. I know this is a great community of animal (especially cat!) lovers.
I''m going to try to make a long story short, so if I start to ramble, I apologize. A little over a week ago, (Saturday, Sept 5th) my fiance and I moved one of our cats, Poncho, to my grandma''s house a few hours away. We have two male cats, Pablo and Poncho. Well, a while ago, Poncho started marking things in our house... mostly a rug in the kitchen and and laundry baskets. We just bought a new house and we weren''t thrilled with the idea of this cat peeing all over our new investment.
Well, we decided that he would enjoy living with my grandmother. She doesn''t have any pets and she''s home all day, so it seemed like a good match for Poncho (who is one of those cats who HAS to be on your lap if you''re sitting down). Well, we moved Ponch down there and he hated it. I knew he''d be nervous, but she said he basically just hid in a closet and hissed at her whenever she came near. Basically, they weren''t getting along as I''d hoped.
Well, apparently she had a plumber at her house and he left the door open for awhile and Poncho ran out. I called my grandma on Saturday to check on how the cat was. My fiance and I figured that if they still weren''t getting along, we''d come pick him up and take him to the new house and pray he didn''t mark every surface. Well on Saturday, my grandma admitted that he''d escaped.... 3 days before that! I was so angry no one told me. I guess she was hoping he''d come back.
So now he''s been gone for 5 days. I''ve put an ad in my grandma''s local paper. She thinks he just didn''t like her and is gone for good. She thinks he''s probably going to try to come back to where we live. Well, I sure hope he doesn''t try to do that BECAUSE WE''VE NOW MOVED! He wouldn''t know where our new house is (I don''t even think cats do that, do they? I always hear of dogs that get lost and travel for days, but not cats).
So I''m devastated. I feel so guilty that he''s outside alone. He doesn''t have front claws (please don''t flame me about that, he was already declawed when I got him) and he''s never been out for this long. He''s used to be an indoor/outdoor cat and he''s an excellent hunter, so at least I know he might be okay finding food.
I know how well PS dust works and I''m basically just praying it works for me now. I start to cry every time I think about it. I never should have moved him. I feel just horrible.
