My beloved cat Will is gone!

Will is the cat in my avatar. He adopted us about this time last year, at about 4-6 months old. He has lived in my garage ever since, and not a day has gone by that I have not seen his handsome face...until Saturday January 7th. We have not seen him since.

He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. I have checked the neighboring dairy farm, which is where Will was born. They have had more trouble with coyotes getting their cats lately. If he was to show up over there, they will bring him right home.

I will check the other homes in the area, but they are mostly farther away as we are in the country. I do ask for prayers that he is simply shut in something, or somehow wandered up to someone's door and they took him in. But I do not think that happened...I did hear the coyotes Saturday afternoon. I thought since Will was born outside he knew how to stay away from the coyotes...but it would only take one mistake.

Will is truly the cat of my heart. I love each kitty, but have such a respect for this handsome loveable tomcat.

Will was so hard to photograph, because he crawls all over you for loving, rather than posing. I never even got a pic with my new digital camera.


I love you, would you like a foot massage?




Thank you.

Sending Vibes that Will comes home safely

Sending lots of vibes from Down Under for Will's safe return home.

Sending lots of Be Safe and Come Home vibes for Will. He's such a handsome little guy.

What a handsome boy! I'm praying that Will comes homes soon!

Sending vibes for the safe return of will. He is a pretty cat!

oh poor will,i really hope and pray the coyotes havent got him,he looks such a little sweet darling he doesnt deserve to go like that,
i will be praying for his safe return xxxxx

stay safe little one and come home real soon

Thank you Maverick Kitten, Tania, Heidi, Barbara, Eileen, Gil, Hedgysforever, and Danielle. Your thoughts mean so much to me. We have searched everywhere and spoken to everyone we can think of. I do not hold out much hope for my fine boy, but will continue to pray for him.

If you look close at the pic where he is looking up, you can see the little gray marks on his nostrils, like a little pig. Just looking at Will would make you smile. I can't even begin to say how much I love him.

Two other kittens showed up last winter, and I sent them through the adoption agency to be adopted out. But Will stole our hearts, and he was a little older than the others who came to us. If only I had sent him away, he could be a pampered housecat safe somewhere.

My heart is really breaking over this. I don't see how he could be missing unless something is horribly wrong. Thank you kindly for keeping sweet Will in your thoughts. I used to call him Will-de-beast when he picked on Josie, an adopted outside cat. Now she is sleeping in his bed, which proves she knows he is gone, too. But she never wanders far, so she probably doesn't know what happened either.

Please be ok, Will, and please come home soon. I love you!

He WILL be back Becki, they just vanish for awhile to keep us on our toes.

Sending "come home" vibes for Will! Hissy's right, he's probably just taking a tour of the area since the weather has been so nice (up until today, of course).

Is he adoptable? Maybe when he comes back, as much as you love him, maybe it's time to find him an inside home? No judgement here, just a thought so you don't have to worry so much about him.

vibes to you will, just come home NOW.
im hopeing a cats in heat and hes away for some love , he will be back to you soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I don't know if he would be a good house cat. He does an awful lot of spraying outside...and I could not give him up. If he comes home, I will try bringing him inside here.

He is tame, having been around people all his life. I never brought him inside because I was worried about his effect on the other cats, especially Garfield. I thought Will would depose King Gar from his throne as alpha cat. But now Sugartoes has already done that, LOL! But since Will had grown up and was so happy outside, I didn't consider it again.

Whether he can be in, or in and out, I'm not sure. I don't see why he would go off for a female when he is neutered...but I suppose anything is possible. I do not feel very hopeful, though.

Thanks for your thoughts and words of comfort, Hissy, ClixPix, and Snowis Mum. It really means so much to me.

I am going out of town for the three day weekend, so will be offline. DH is home in case Will comes back. I will have him post if Will comes home, so no one will worry needlessly.

I'm sending "come home" vibes. One of my sister's cats, Trey, has been missing for weeks, and we also fear that he fell victim to coyotes or eagles. It's heartbreaking just to think of it.

I agree with the others that he might checking what's going on outside since as you know the weather has been unsually warm. Male cats can have a 1 mile territory!! There has been a tomcat hanging around here for several days now.
I haven't every seen him before and I have been seeing him for a good week-10 days now. He isn't however a tame one I'm thinking. So are you putting food out??? I bet when the weather cools back down he will come running to your warmer garage.

Sending many come home soon vibes to Will. He sounds like he has the personality of my Percy, who is still missing (for the second time). You seem to live in the same sort of area that we do, too. The coyotes and all the local farms........so many places to look!
Let's hope they both come home safe and soon!

Oh, Becky - I just red your post! Hugs during this stressful time & {{{prayers and vibes}}} for Will's safe return. I too live in a high-coyote area and have had cats disappear only to return much later - where they go & what they do is a mystery. After Fwan's Teufel came back after such an agonizing while, I really appreciate the wonderful powers of the TCS Board Magic - hope that it works for Will, too! The "not-knowing" is the worst. Susan

Wonderful wonderful news-my Will is home, and hungry for attention. He came home Sunday (yesterday). I was in Michigan, visiting family. DH went to church in the morning, and when he came home, Will was back, and begging for love. He always craves attention, but is doing it even more now.

I did ask dh to post, but he didn't...sorry. He doesn't go on-line much at home.

I really do not know what happened. He seems to have a few scratches on his nose, but otherwise there is no change. He is not thin, so he has been well fed.

Now my dilemma is whether to bring him in. I really want to, but will 11 cats currently inside, up from 2 in April, we already have a few personality issues. And Will is no shy flower, I have already heard him and Josie, our other tame outside cat, yowling at each other.

I'm not really asking for advise about that, because I know that for my peace of mind he should come in whether he wants to or not! Sugartoes already has issues with all the cats that came in after her...she is known to growl and hiss. I just don't know what would happen if they had a face-off.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and vibes. Another TCS miracle! Bless each and everyone who posted, and who prayed or thought about us even if they didn't post!

This is great news! Thanks for the update!
Welcome home, Will
