TUXEDO CAME HOME!!!!!

Thank you all so, so much for your thoughts for Tuxedo and support for me!!!!!

We don't know when he trundled down, because he didn't show up last night (at least before we called it a night, but he was back this morning.


There was one little set of footprints coming down from the burrow Gary dug out yesterday afternoon, so we're guessing that's where he was. Maybe he was just scared by all the noise of being shoveled out, and it took a little while for him to get up the nerve to poke his head out.

But he's here, he's just fine, and he got LOTS of scritches from us and all of you!!!!

I hope you gave him a stern lecture about scaring mommy and daddy like that! Give him a kitty kiss and hug from cyber auntie Ady!

Gary must be thrilled!

Laurie that's such good news. The real magic was that you know your babies so well that you guessed exactly where he was, and helped him get out. Imagine if he'd been holed up in there for a few days!

Me too, Helen. Laurie, I'm so grateful he's safe! It's terrible when they frighten us like that.

Glad to hear he's home. Did you ever wonder if disappearing is a cat's ploy for extra scratches?

We had Magic boarded at a wonderful facility just for cats, and as it's slow season for boarding right now, the owner spent lots of time with him, so he was totally ready to move into his new home when he got adopted.


We spoke with her, and made arrangements to take the other three kittens in. Gary and I are working on a deadline for a project right now, so it might have to wait until Saturday before we round the three of them up. I'm sorry we didn't do this before the worst of the weather, but if we do this, at least we won't have to worry about the rest of the Winter.

Gary wants to bring Tuxedo inside, but with three kitties already in this small space, it'll have to wait until we purchase a new RV (which it looks like we might do
).

Then we just need to find Juli and Thanksgiving homes. They're both so friendly, I expect that with Susan's help (the lady who owns the boarding facility), we'll be able to do that pretty soon. She gets calls from people who want to adopt cats (thinking she's a shelter), so we can help her out on that front!

...and Sammie5, I keep wondering what would have happened if we hadn't unburied him. There was about 31 inches of snow on top of him. Would he have dug himself out before he ran out of air? I've been giving extra thanks to God for Gary (for whom I give thanks to God every day). I am a lucky woman, and these are lucky cats!

Laurie, That's just too painful to think of. I had no idea Tuxedo was covered that deeply. Yes, thank God for Gary!
