Mine is still gone too - it's been almost 9 weeks that he's been missing.

Since I have been going to shelters I have found this one kitty that seems to really like me and I like it too. Do you think it's too soon for me to get a new cat? It's definitely not a replacement for my lost Brownie and I will keep my searching up for him just as it has been - so nearly constant.

Thoughts? Like if I get this one will I get more sad when it behaves a little differently than my missing Brownie did or will I resent it? When I see him he is always shaking but then when I pet him for a while he always stops so it makes me want to bring him home to give him a good home where he doesn't have to shake and be nervous.

I will keep praying for Arty!

Watching the robins sing!
I just found this thread! I was so hoping that I would get to page 2 and find out that your boy was home....sorry that is not the case.
Pleae keep searching and praying. And follow the advice of everyone else - keep looking, putting up posts, walking etc. Probably everything that you are all ready doing. I am sending you prayers and vibes from New Hampshire...
When I was a little girl, my parents gave my cat Tiger away when we moved acorss town.
6 months later he showed up at our new home - and yes, it was Tiger! So miracles happen every day. Keep the faith!

So last night we bought the new kitty. When we brought him back he didn't shake AT ALL b ut I was so torn up because he is not my beloved Brownie. So I cried for quite a while but my this morning I am starting to love this one just the same. I wonder how I post a picture of the new guy on here? He is super inquisitive but listens well. He follows us everywhere and likes to be petted and doesn't hide !! And get this, we have been setting out food for 9 weeks. The first 2 weeks we had cats coming but none have come since then, it's been all raccoons and skunks. Last night after we had the new guy (we don't have a name for him yet) here, we had a cat out back eating our food too!! Who knew!!???! So hopefully the cats keep coming back and my Brownie shows up one night!

I keep praying for Arty and Brownie and all of the lost kitties so they get home safely in God's time.

I actually haven't thought of a definitive name yet...one that seems to be sticking, though, is Buster Rabbit !? lol ... We had another cat visitor outside this afternoon too, so something is bringing the cats around again !!

Do the foxes still come around your house? Any signs at all of Arty?

I did everything I could think of: walked the street with tuna, put up flyers and talked to people, ad in the paper, put a notice on the Cable Access channel.

That last was free so I just let it run. I had actually gotten another kitten at the six week mark, my husband wanted me to stop crying. I won't turn down a kitten, but I still followed up leads about Mr. Bond. My dad said, "What if Mr. Bond turns up?" I said, "I should have such problems!"

So, two weeks later, I get a call from a lady who said a cat with the description on Cable Access had gotten hit by a car and she had taken him to the vet. So I went it and it was Mr. Bond!

He eventually made a complete recovery.

It's the hard thing about cats... it's almost as though you never give up hope. It is so tough. I'm so sorry he hasn't turned up yet.

Aweeeeee...poor Mr. Bond but how wonderful he is OK and he is yours!!!

I sure do hope Arty and Brownie both turn up or at least some sort of sign of them turns up! I keep praying so hard everyday for both of them


The worst part is that it really is like losing a child and the hurt is absolutely horrible. I know I cry a cry that I've never cried before and I swear my heart aches for real as does everyones' that has a lost kitty. It's so good that we allow ourselves to love the little creatures so much and it's that which makes times like these so terrible.

As always, many many prayers for Arty and Brownie.

I just saw this today and I am so sorry about the missing kitties.
Keeping the kitties and their families in my thoughts.

Several months ago we had an extra kitty in our house that we adopted from a shelter. Well needless to say she got out of the house one day and went missing for 3 days. I walked that entire town with a flash light and a towel hoping to find her. Then one day when I was feeding the boys I realized that the sound of me pouring the food in their bowl made them come running. I feed our cats dry cat food. So I got the idea of putting dry cat food in a container with a lid while walking around shaking the container.

Sadly we did have to return her to the shelter as she really hated my daughter and me. I have a couple big scares on my hands from that little darling but when she tried to rip my daughters lip off it was time for her to return. We all cried on the drive to the shelter. We donated food and money to the shelter I even took my sons to go see her while she was there. She liked my sons and husband, we do know she got adopted.
