So in order to ask this question I will have to tell a little story I hate.
About a year ago I lost a cat named Mittens, it was my first cat ever. Never had a cat never thought I would ever have a cat. My husband and my son found Mittens on a cold windy day, she was abandoned in our backyard she was about 4 weeks old.
She lived inside for up to 6 months. Then we allowed her to be in indoor/outdoor cat. My husband would let her out in the morning when he went to work and she would be gone off and on through the day. But she would always come when I would call her.
That went on for about a year. Then around this time a year ago on a stormy day she did not return. I kept calling her, and she would not come. I just thought maybe she is sheltering from the rain, when it dies down she will come. We tried for so long to look for her with no luck. There are allot of strays that looked like her but none were her.
Then yesterday I came home from running some errands and outside the My Garage there was a cat looked so much like Mittens. I called her name softly to not scare her away, with no luck. She ran away. This morning I saw her again she was sitting in our deck. She was with another cat. I went out with some treats, I shook the bag like I used to do for Mittens in the past and called her name. She did not respond and ran away.
I know it’s a long shot but could this be her, or is it a lookalike?
Back then I didn’t know of all the dangers of an indoor outdoor cat. I didn’t even know we had cayote’s in our area. I have blamed myself for this long for her disappearance. It’s like losing one of your kids and not knowing what happened to them.
