Hi Everyone!
I have a friend who is a member on a parrot site and she has just recently lost her cat, Einstein. He had gotten into a cat fight and the stress from it caused him to develop a UTI. Her vet gave her a small dose of Elavil to calm him down and he hated it so much that he kind of went on a hunger strike. The weather where she lives became real warm this past weekend and the house was open- he escaped.
Einstein is use to the outdoors (barn cat), so I don't think the bout of cold weather would effect him, but she is worried about his medical condition.
These are some of the suggestions that people have given her:
1. Alert every neighbor to the fact that your kitty is missing.
2. Another good thing to do is to place a carrier (preferably one that he has used) outside with a unwashed shirt of yours inside. Also make sure to put food and water for him outside. You can also put an ad in your local paper and there are radio stations that will run lost animal ads for free.
3. Never underestimate the power of the sound of a food bag being shaken or poured into a bowel, or a can of food being opened.
4. Best time to look for kitty is usually when the world is sleeping- 2am is a great time.
5. Look in sheds, garages, trees, bushes, and under porches.
6. If you live in a rural area, make sure to tell your postman, he/she sees a lot.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where a very frighten and ill kitty would hide out?
Without further delay, this is EINSTEIN.
Thanks guys
