Hello..I am brand new here and first time posting.
12 days ago,my wife left our deck door open,and forgot about it..
My cat,Curious George,and his brother,Rico,both got out the door.
Both cats are feral,and recused from the neighborhood.
My cat,George,is social,adorable,friendly( to family),and my best buddy. His brother,Rico,is pretty much feral,and no one can touch him,or pet him but I love him just the same.
For 12 days,I have sat up every night,from dusk to dawn,put out food,set a trap,and...nothing....
I walk around at night,during the days,whenever..and still nothing.
The first day,we found my cat,right outside,in a bush,and my wife ACTUALLY HAD HIM,but he twisted,and jumped..and ran away.
The last sighting I had was last Sunday,and he was again close,but yet again,ran off.
Of his brother,Rico,I have seen nothing.
A bit about me...I am disabled,and my cat is my best friend in the world to me...I cant begin to describe how I feel,how empty,and lost I am,not to mention exhausted.
I am a guy who has had dogs all his life,and my wife was the one who had a cat..LOL...
There have always been feral cats living in my neighborhood,and I couldnt stand it...never had much luck getting them..they were always too fast,to clever for me,but George walked right into the house one day..one day when I was about as low as I could get...my dog had died,I lost my job..wow..I was pretty sad.
He was a gift..a real gift...and my pal for the last 6 years.His brother,sick,and scraggly,showed up later,and was coaxed inside.
Since then,we have gotten 2 more feral cats,both right off of our deck.
These neighborhood cats know this is a "safe" place,where they can always get a meal,and shelter.
But why wont my cats come home?
No one else is feeding cats around here-I have checked all over.
There is a field close by,but trying to explore it proved nearly impossible...but I know there are cats here..I see trails into the field,and have seen 2 other cats come up on my deck to eat..as well as raccoons,skunks,and possums!,But no sign of my cats.
Both cats are neutered,and had a life I would envy...good food,teats,nothing but the best...and my cat would sleep in the bed with me all the time!
OK,I have gone on too long..I am heart-broken,tired,and wondering...should I give up hope?
My wife says never give up,but she wont walk the neighborhood with me,wait,watch,and look with me anymore...I feel like I am all alone.
I dont know what to do...I could use a shoulder to cry on,at the very least.
Its 6am...I have been up(again) all night,with no sign of either of my cats.
Im worn out,and would love to hear from anyone....
