vibes for Cedar - missing - HE'S HOME!!!

Still sending you

CoMe HoMe SoOn

vibes!!!

Thats enough playing outside Cedar - its time to come home and play with Jasmine!!

huggles i have not read all the pages but i wanted to suggest that
you knock on your neighbors doors with a picture of your kitty.

it could be he got locked by accident in someones garage or shed.

maybe they will open them for you so you could call him.

and leave your name and tel number with them and tell them to call
you if they even think they see a cat like your kitty.

put up posters.

good luck and i am sending many prayers and come home vibes.

Aw Dan...you and Cedar have been on my mind all day. I hoped there would be good news, but these little devils can get into the darnedest spots. I don't need to tell you how to look -- just lots of vibes and prayers for your sweetie's safe return.

I'll check in again in the morning if I can (at my MIL's snitching a bit of time on her computer) that he's just got himself spooked into someone's shed or something and will answer when he hears you.

breathe danielle breathe!

I know what you are feeling, I know from SiSi. Don't cry - let your gut tell you where he is. Walk the neighborhood, I k now you are strong and very, very intuitive, Dan

thankyou darling E & Sasha Yes its our summer so hopefully he is just out partying it up. Of course you know all about it with dear SiSi.. I cant help but cry you know? I just can not help it. Everytime I think of that sweet innocent face and I think that he could be out there scared the tears just come. It doesnt help that Chris has had to go away for work and so I feel all alone. My neighbour has been wonderful and has helped me search for alot of the day and distribute flyers. I have walked the neighbourhood with Jasmine in tow looking all over for him.
I have cried so much today that I am unsure whether I have any tears left to shed right now.

I live in Melbourne suburbs but its not typical suburbia and is about a 40 minute drive from the CBD. So its certainly not city but closer to country living. We have a large block with lots of trees and mountains around us. He could be anywhere

Thankyou so much for your suggestions and I have already attempted all that you have suggest. What I mean by attempted is this....
picture me walking up to a house with Jasmine in the stroller. I knock on the door of a home where the new owners just moved in 3 days a go. Jasmine is holding a flyer and saying her new word that she just learnt over and over 'cedy cedy cedy' and then gives cedar (the flyer) a cuddle... I apologise to the people that open the door about disturbing them but hand them a flyer and tell them that Cedar is missing. They were very concerned and asked if I was okay and I burst into tears. So there I am a blubbering mess and Jasmine saying Cedy Cedy Cedy. A friend of mine told me that if this was a movie then that scene would be endearing

I then went back home... I couldnt handle the door knocking anymore unfortunatly. So the flyers went into the letterboxes but I have stated on them to please look in garages and around the properties and also stated that he is extremley shy so do not approach him but rather call me.

I have also called all the vets and shelters and reported him missing.

If he is injured and someone has found him then they would of taken him to the vet (or shelter) and they would of checked for a mircochip (which he has)
If he isnt injured then no one would be able to catch him as he is just too timid and would just run away and hide.

I am hoping of course for the later and hope that he will eventually find his way home.

Thankyou again for your continuing vibes. And thankyou so much for all the emails and pm's we have recieved (and the phonecall!) Gosh we really do need whatever vibes you can all spare - I know TCS kitties have a lot going on right now.

I really am trying to remain postive but it gets harder as each hour passes.

Come home darling boy - Mummy loves you so very very much and promises as soon as you come home you can have some fresh chicken to eat

Danielle, I've been thinking of you all day too! Oh gosh, my heart is crying right along with you, hun.

I know you know all of this, but we tend to forget when we actually need to use this stuff. So, I'm just writing this out to remind you.

If there's the chance that he got scared and ran, which with timid little Cedar there sure is, you should try to make sure that he can find his way home. Take a bit of his and Tipsy's used litter and put it around your property (not enough to kill the grass, but enough so he can smell it from any direction he may be coming from.

Also, take a shirt that you have worn and really infused with your scent. Either something you have worked up a sweat in, or a sleep shirt, or something like that. Put it on your porch or by the kitty door outside.

If there aren't too many cats you have roaming at night, but try leaving some good stinky food out on the porch tonight.

Also, if he is holed up scared somewhere, he will be most receptive to your calling and looking for him in the wee, quiet hours of the night. Like around 2-3:00 in the morning. I know that's really difficult with Jasmine, but that's when he will feel most at ease to try to come home.

We're with you Dan, even if we're half way around the world.

Oh My Heart is Braking for you, I can only imagne what you must be feeling.
I will say a Special Prayer for Cedar to come home and to help you deal with this. I wish we all lived close then we would all help you find that baby, it must be hard

Oh Dan I was checking in, hoping for some good news. But you know, it really hasn't been all that long yet, it just feels that way. Cedy could easily have been scared by something & is waiting it out...maybe someone tried to approach him, or pick him up, and he's waiting until he feels safe enough to come out...it could be any one of a million scenarios. Try to stay strong, and when you call for him, try to stay calm. If he senses your fear and desperation, he may be hesitant about coming out. Recheck around your property. Most kitties are not far from home, but are scared and hiding very nearby. Try sitting outside when the sun is going down. Just talk softly, and sit & wait...try to feel "peaceful" if you know what I mean. Maybe he'll come to you when the world quiets down.

Great reminders Heidi!

Remember, look for him like you're looking for a cat. The biggest mistake people make is looking for them like they're looking for a dog.

Dan theres "ALWAYS" someone on the site here so your not alone sweetie

Hi Danielle, I just caught this thread and was hoping to see that Cedar has come home. I know how nerve-wrecking it is to have a cat go missing on you, and I'm sending out a TONNE of vibes

{{{{{{{{{{{{ Run along home now Cedar sweetie... Dinner's waiting, and so is your meowmy!! }}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Don't worry, he might just have answered the call of the wild and went off hunting squirrels. Do let us know if you find him... I do hope he comes home soon!

ohmy I am not coping with this at all its now 9pm and pitch black. How am I going to go through this every night and every day. ohmy Cedar

Oh Danielle! PLease hang in there.

Does he get friendly to strangers? Do you think that some child would have taken him home???

I know how youre going though! Remember there is hope! Teufel was back after 12 days!

but thats my point... how can I do this for 12 days? or longer? or what if something else has happened to him? I am not strong enough to cope with this. ohmygod I just cant do it.

no he wouldnt befriend a stranger. He is as timid as they come... he could be hiding 1m away from me calling his name and if he is scared (or the 'danger' is still present) then he wont move. I just keep picturing him huddled up somewhere scared out of his mind

ohgoodgrief give me strength. I am completely falling apart

Oh I did so hope that there would be better news this morning. I can only imagine how you are feeling. Keep strong, Jasmine and Tipsy need you too.

Yes, you can You are just overwhelmed, as all of us would be right now I can't tell you how many times I have wished in the past 24 hours that we lived closer.

Heidi has given you excellent reminders. Try to think like your sweet timid boy would. There is a good chance he will come out when it is dark, and all is quiet.

I know you are sitting there feeling all alone right now, but try to remember all the love, prayers, and vibes that are coming from all over the world to you and Cedar.

Sending you lots of hugs and a tone of Vibes ))))VIBES(((( HUGSSSSS

yes I know and thankyou Heidi. I didnt mean to ignore your reminders but I am a little self absorbed right now so I apologise. And thankyou Kelly.

I cant leave food out as even though we have a cat curfew its not always observed and there are alot of possums as well.

I have done everything else though. I will go to bed shortly and get up at 3am. I wont be able to wander far though unfortunatly as I cant leave Jasmine but I could wander our property. If Chris was home I could do more but not tonight.

I thank everyone for all there love & support at this time. I really do appreciate it even if I am self absorbed... I am sure you will all understand.

I promise I am trying to remain strong and positive. I really am - its just hard. In a way it would be better if it was Tipsy out there as I know he wouldnt be so scared and hiding from the most littlest of things. Not that I wouldnt be a complete mess if it was Tipsy because of course i would be but I do know that he would cope alot better. ohgod I hope he is alright

for you, and more vibes for Cedar's homecoming. Stay strong, Dan.

I hope he finds his way home soon.

Continued vibes headed your way for Cedar's safe return home.
I know it's hard, but stay strong. You can do it. We're right here with you!
