I lost a kitty when I was a little girl and was completely crushed by it. He was an indoor/outdoor cat and one day he was just gone. Three months later I heard meowing outside and opened the door and he ran in! He was thin as a rail and his collar was missing... we thought the neighbors had taken and dumped him somewhere maybe... so it does happen... but more than likely if he''s a lap cat he''s going to find THE lap to sit in. He will either try to find you or fall in love with someone else along the way. You may never know what happens to him, but I would always hold out hope that he found the perfect lap to spend the rest of his life in if he doesn''t find his way back to yours.


That said, you have all my dust.

Thank you all so much for the dust and kind words, Cehrabehra especially. That''s all I can really hope for; that he finds a good lap and someone who loves him.

My grandma''s house is about 130 miles from our house. I really doubt that Poncho could make it that far, but I''ll be sending a note to my old neighbors. Main problem is that there is a stray black and white tuxedo cat (like Ponch) that''s always roaming around there and I think people would just call me every time they saw him.

My grandma says she''s been putting food out and every neighborhood cat has been eating out of the dish except Poncho. I''d love to be able to go there and look for him, but with my work schedule this week, it''s just not possible. Believe me, I almost took a sick day on Monday to drive there. I''m going this weekend and I''ll hang a poster with his picture at the local grocery store.

I really hope that even if he doesn''t come home, he finds a good home with someone else. Aside from the marking, (which made me just want to strangle him sometimes) he''s a truly wonderful cat.

Again, thank you to everyone who''s commented. I''m so blessed to be a part of this community.
 
Here''s a picture of him. He did this on the bed EVERY TIME my fiance came home from work. He''d race my FI to the bedroom, then while FI was changing, he''d roll frantically from side to side begging for attention. Like "Look! My belly! You haven''t scritched it ALL DAY! Didn''t you miss me? Didn''t you!?!?"

I have only gotten rid of one pet as an adult and it was my black cat Armani. He was weird about the litterbox too but not just marking - pooping too. He had some other quirks and my husband absolutely hated him but he was such a sweetie and had the softest long black fur like silk. Gorgeous cat. Lived up to his name absolutely. So my husband pestered me for months and I finally agreed to go along with his plan to let a friend have it who''d been wanting a cat for his wife. Within a couple months my kitty was gone from antifreeze irresponsibly left out by that idiot friend of his. I instantly wanted to say okay fine you poop all over the house - just come back! Some of the choices we make are VERY tough but I have a gut feeling your kitty is making his way, I''m not sure why... it just feels like he took his destiny in his own hands and went to look for what feels right :)
 
TG, that''s such an awesome picture of him! I hope you''re available to find him this weekend!

What a precious photo!!! My heart is with you as you search for your Poncho. Prayers for a positive outcome!

I hope you find your kitty. I would be so sad.

Thinking of you and your sweet, handsome little kitty. I hope you find him soon!
 
Oh honey, how heartbreaking! Hoping he goes back to your grandma''s house soon.
 
Update: I got a call tonight from a woman in my grandma''s town! I''m not 100% sure it''s Poncho, but it sounds promising. She said she''s had a really friendly tuxedo cat that hangs out on her back porch in the morning and evening. She said he''s wearing a collar with a little tag (which Poncho had). She''s going to see if he''s there in the morning and then she''ll call me if she can read the tag. If it''s him, she said she''d lock him in her garage until I can get there.

The only thing that has me thinking it might not be him is that she said she thought he''d been hanging around for longer than a week. Today would officially be one week that he''s been out, so I''m a little concerned it might not be him. But she said he''s super friendly and he''s always trying to get inside the house with her. Fingers crossed that the dust worked and I''ll have my Ponchy back!
 
Oh I was almost in tears reading your story

I lost my cat for a night and was beside myself... I can''t imagine losing him for 5 days. All of my prayers are with you that he will find his way to you. Can you ask the people who are living at your old house to let you know if they see him? Or post flyers like VR suggested.

Cats are very good at finding their way home, so chances are he will try to find you at your old house.

Good luck, and let us know how things are going. ****hugs*****
 
Oh I hope that the cat in the woman''s yard is Poncho!
Here''s endless amounts of dust that it''s him!

It is an awful feeling to lose a cat. I hope that Poncho is safe and happy in the woman''s garage.

Lots of dust to you and Poncho.
 
I hope it is him.

....fingers crossed...
 
SO hoping this cat is your kitty, or, if not, that this plays out again for real ASAP. Dust in spades ....
 
UPDATE: I just called the woman back and it''s not Poncho. She said the cat was outside today and it''s wearing a red collar and a red rabies tag. Poncho had a black and white collar and a gold name tag. She said she''d keep an eye out for him. She owns a hair salon so I''m hoping she passes the word around to all her customers.

So basically, I got off the phone with her and cried some more. I was so hopeful all day that it was him. And of course I''m so depressed that I haven''t had any other calls. I feel so helpless that I can''t just drive around looking for him. My grandma doesn''t drive so she''s pretty much limited to walking around the outside of the house.

I wish I had better news. Please keep the dust and good vibes coming.
 
Aw, dangit! Well, at least the word is getting out and people will be looking! More dust to you and Poncho!
 
Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust . . . . .
 
****DUST DUST DUST**** Dang, I was keeping my fingers crossed for you that that one kitty was your baby!! I''ll keep them crossed dabnabit!!!! I hope you find him this weekend!!!
 
I just caught this thread - how dreadful

Sending tons of HOPE that Poncho gets back to you safe and sound soon for tons of make-up scritching!!
 
oh, I hope you find him.... *********dust, dust, dust*********
I''ll pray to St Anthony for you
 
Dust for you and your kitty. I pray you find him soon.
I lost my cat like that a few years ago. Even though there was no sign of it, I am pretty sure an animal took him, as we lost another cat and a medium size dog that way as well (my parents live in the country). I felt terrible because I had left him at my parents a few months earlier, but he loved it there and I don''t think he would have left willingly. He loved being outside when he wanted and hated apartment life. Anyway, I searched and searched and went to many pet psychics all to no avail, which is hard because there is no closure. It sounds to me like your cat might have not been happy there and left of his own accord though, so hopefully he is not too far away and comes home soon.
Cehrabehra''s post made me cry all over again, but it is so true.
Good luck and hugs.
 
Awh, I am sorry.

***dust***
 
I''m sorry about the false alarm... some more dust********** that Poncho is safe and will be returned to you soon!
 
DH''s pure bred Lynx Point Siamese disappeared when she was about 1.5 years old. Signs everywhere, etc., etc. No cat.

She resurfaced a number of years later [spayed and declawed

]. Looks like somebody helped themselves to her and kept her indoors. When she escaped she went back to where she knew she lived. She is still with us at age 16+.

I hope you get your cutie back sooner than later!

DUST!
 
I wish I had a good update today, but there''s still no Poncho. I went to my grandma''s town on Friday and hung some posters at the local grocery store, discount store and on a light pole in the center of town. I put that there''s a reward if he''s found, so maybe I''ll get a call. We drove over to a nearby farm and told the owner''s to keep an eye out for him.

I''m starting to lose hope a little more every day.

Oh, not TG...

I got excited when I saw you had posted...

Where is he?

I hope you get a call - it''s good that you put up all those posters and alerted the farm owners...

Don''t lose hope...
