I'm sorry this is so long, but I haven't said anything about this before... now I just have to...
I'll start at the beginning..
As most of you know hubby, me and the 7 kitties recently moved house (4 months ago) since then all has been well, the kitties adapted and got used to the new area very well, coming and going just as they always have (usually just staying put in the garden) in fact, they seemed happier than ever.
It all started about 6 weeks ago, Shandy (my semi feral female) went missing, this wasn't unusual as she often went "walkabouts" but this time, she didn't come back, I put posters up, got an anouncement on the radio.... nothing, she has STILL not returned... I was so disdraught I couldn't talk about it.... but now, now its war! About 3 weeks after Shandy disappeared, Truffle disappeared!! Thankfully Truffle returned after only a couple of days, but somebody had clipped her fur and removed her collar and tag!! I was FURIOUS!!! (seriously, you can't imagine how enraged I was!) I immediately put another collar on her and tried to keep her indoors (not easy) anyway, a few days later, BOD disappears?!?!!? Now I'm frantic, I mean I love my ALL my babies, but this is BOD.... I search all over for him, out late at night calling him searching... nothing.... about 4 days later he turns up, I'm SO relieved... BUT he has diarhea, which to me indicates someone has fed him something.... anyway, so there I am trying to keep both Bod and Truffle in the house, when hubby's grandpa come round and both shoot out the door
they seemed fine, always in the garden and always there whenever I called (Bod ALWAYS comes when I call) but now, they have both gone again!!
I haven't seen either of them in four days, they both disappeared again on the same day at the same time (roughly).... Today I have called all the rescue centres I can think of, nothing, I have an announcement going out on the radio this-afternoon and tomorrow, I have tried going out at night looking, I've tried smelly tuna etc, I've even tried the sweaty clothes outside thing and nothing.... which makes me SURE some-one has them and is keeping them indoors. Today I have made a pile of flyers to post on every lampost I can see, and another HUGE pile I'm going to post through every door of every house I see..... I know they haven't been injured on the road as there is only one "road" and it runs and ends directly in front of my house, - I can see all of it and its not a proper road anyway - jut a private one people use to get to their driveways....
Sorry this is so long but I'm beside myself.... since we moved, we started off with 7 cats, now I'm down to 4!!!!! I just dont' know what to do, if Bod doesn't come home I'll go to pieces I know I will... he's my baby, I've loved him and cared for him since he was 7 weeks old..... and Truffle is such a sweetie, please pleeease pray for them to be returned to me... I don't know what else to do... if the leaflets and flyers and radio don't work, I SHALL be knocking on EVERY single door untill I find them.
Again, apologies for the length of this, I'm just soo desperate....my head is pounding and my stomache is churning
