My baby Scream didn't come back last night.. I had returned home around 1:00 am, my cats were all inside for the whole evening, Spook, wanted to go out, he did but sat on the first step still deciding , when out of nowhere Scream jumps by me through the 1/2 open door, and manages to sprint right over Spook, landed and took off running! I do let my cats go out to use the bathroom and fresh air, all the while I keep a close eye on them, especially Scream, she loves it outside and to much time inside for her is dangerous to my house and its furnishings.
I know she is immature, so I keep close taps on her, going to the door every 5 min. or 10 min at the most, I live in the country and at this particular time we have a male stray that my dad feeds, ( they live next door) who is roaming thru my cats space and I have caught him chasing Scream, and this will sound crazy but I know he had done something to her because she is scared of him, she will hiss, spit and groul at him if he walks up on the deck to the french door which is glass, and she is on the inside looking out! Mind you this is what I mean't by crazy is that I adore cats, and would never
want to harm one but one morning I got tired of him hustling her and got my 22 pistol out , went outside and started shooting at him! omg!
I missed him but I didn't have my glasses on, but I came real close my son said. Well I know in my heart that's what happen to Scream last night. she probably ran into him in the woods and he chased her in the dark and she's gone, hiding, ran away etc.
Surely he wouldn't kill her? would he? She is fixed but I'm lost is all I know!
I searched all day, talking my neighbors, riding down the roads around my house, crying, I keep imagining some awful fate, and I feel like I've let her down!!! I have been up now 2nd night I just got back riding the road , up the cemetary, and church at 5:00 am calling her name, What can I do besides put out pics of her, I walked all through the woods by my house and all through the lot beside me and behind me and my parents and their neighbors yard and my other neighbors house! She has just vanished into thin air!
I'm not giving up search for her, I know this is not right but she has no collar on with tags, she is not even a year old yet and was the runt of the litter, her neck is so small that they are too big, and get caught on things, like her own mouth! so I don't trust collars for fear of choking or hanging!i have to go to bring my son to school any advice and prayers are greatly appreciated!
