Well, she's something of a pariah, so she sometimes is scarce throughout the day.
Monday evening, I came home from work and started getting their food ready. After a little while of it thawing, I went out to check the water, and all of them came running, except Bagheera. I warmed up the water, let the food sit for a few more moments, and then called them all to dinner.. more specifically, called so that Baggs would come because the rest were already at my feet.
No Bagheera.
I put the food down. And I went searching for her. I searched every where she's known to hide. I opened up all the doors that are normally closed...nothing.
I opened up the basement, thinking maybe she got downstairs. Didn't see her. Now, granted, the basement is cluttered and there are tons of places to hide, but she didn't answer me. So I resorted to the never-fail tactic of getting out the noisy stick toys and walking through the house shaking them. No Bagheera.
So, about this time, my sister gets home. She's like.. who's missing? I said Baggs.. she starts helping me look... we can't find her. I've searched every cabinet, closet, closed door, appliance, drawer, chest, bed, covers, possible hiding place that I can think of, and ... still no Baggs.
So, we've deduced that she's either holed up somewhere in the house sick or, I guess at this point she'd probably be dead.
Or she's gotten outside somehow, without us seeing her go zipping past..
So I've been searching outside. I've left the downstairs door open in the hopes that she'll come in.. no luck yet.
I put posters up everywhere around here. No phone calls yet, but I just did that this morning.
I've called all the animal rescue and humane society and local vets. Nothing.
