Rhea, my dear friend, what more can I say? I have suggested everything I could think of, and I've been praying all morning. I couldn't bear it, and I know how you're suffering. As I told you, check with the school kids, and as Lorie said, the old neighborhood. Children sometimes know more because they play outside. You poor lamb. You've been working hard every night on the house, painting, scraping, hammering, everything a man could do, and now you're out searching. I'd fly over there if I could. The police have me so furious! "That's what cats do!!" I'm sure we will all be praying for them to return. I will pester God with my prayers until I hear something. God bless.

Oh Rhea....
Wow, I am really sorry to hear this. You and the kitties will be in my prayers tonight—you can count on it! I know I wouldn't be able to sleep!

AND THE POLICE....well, never mind....Only positive words need to fly out of my mouth tonight.

I hope your next post brings the good news of your babies safe return!!

I'll be back to check on you!

Rhea,

I am so sorry to read this! I am praying for the kitties' safe return. Like Hissy, I had a "not so good feeling" when I read the details. Keep us posted.

Like everyone else, I am hoping your babies return to you soon. I can only imagine how scary it must be. Keeping my fingers crossed for a safe and quick homecoming.

Rhea, there is another trick I have used that has been effective in the past. I took my tape recorder and recorded the sound of my can opener opening a can of cat food. I then waited till 3:00 a.m. went outside with the volumne up and played the sound out in the darkness. My neighbors were less than thrilled but my kitty came home! Good luck, I am praying for you in this situation.

Rhea, is there any news? I have been thinking about you and the cats since my last post! I said a prayer that God would guide them safely home!

Thankyou so much everyone, your prayers and thoughts and energy must have helped somewhat, because, TRUFFLE IS HOME!!!!!
I put up LOADS of flyers last nigth and posted them through all the houses near me, a couple of little girls said they had seen Truffle in a certain area, I went and searched but she wasn't there, but then later inthe evening, a lady called me and said she had been feeding Truffle everyday!! She didn't have her then, but she called again thismorning just before I left for work to say she had her there!! Hubby and I ran over to the house and there she was!! And it just so happens that this lady lived in the area the children had seen Truffle
Needless to say, she is safely shut inside now!! I thanked the lady for looking after her but politely asked her to not feed her again if she ever see's her out and about...
The children also said they had seen Bod, and a lady up the street also said she had seen him, but so far, we still don't know where he is, and sadly no-one has seen anything of Shandy
Still, I'm leaving all the posters up, and the radio ads are still going out today.. so hopefully something will come of it, getting Truffle back so quickly has really given me hope, though of course, I'm still worried, but its a good sign.
So with your continued prayers/thoughts/energy, hopefully we can pull Bod and Shandy home too!!
Again, thankyou ALL sooo much.

Welcome home, Truffle!

Rhea, that's a good start to a happy ending. We're all here to keep pulling `til the rest are home. Don't doubt it can happen!

I'm so happy to hear that Truffle is home! I was thinking of them this morning as I came into work, and really hoping for some good news. Bod and Shandy are getting my "Come Home! Your Mommy Misses You!" vibes. Hope to hear more good news from you soon.

Rheah!!!!!!!!! Wow! I am so happy Truffle is home....Woooo! You know, my Granny that it is very powerful to pray in numbers for the same thing (something like that)—wow! Got goose bumps!!

Thank the Lord Truffle's home! I'm so grateful! Now, please, Bod, come home. And Shandy? No more walk-abouts, please! I'm still praying. I believe in the power of prayer too, and for some reason beyond our understanding, when many of His children ask for the same thing, it seems that God does answer that prayer. Of course, I have prayed privately and received countless answers also.

Whew! I still have goose bumps......not to wear out my Granny's old sayings but, she called goose bumps Holy Goose Bumps!! You get em' when prayers are answered, so Granny said...She was right!

LOL!

Granny had something to say about everything—She would have LOVED this place......now I know who I inherited the gab gene from......LOL!!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please let the Board Magic keep working! Didn't see this until just now, somehow. With Truffles home and Bod sighted, it can't be much longer now!!!! oh please oh please oh please.....

Just wanted you to know. We watched a PBS special on cats just a few nights ago. There was a story of a cat in England whose owner's family moved. The cats moved with mom, but the kids stayed behind to finish school. It took six months, but the cat traveled 190 miles and found the young woman AT A NEW APARTMENT - not even located in the old neighborhood or near the old home! No one can explain this.

Thought this story might help you through these extremely difficult weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds.... of waiting.

Sending more "Come Home" prayers.

And lots of comforting hugs.

Laurie
