Bad week for AW pets-missing my cat.

[veg-o-matic]

He'll be back

...home life is too good to give up!

Brunie is just exercising his independent streak. Probably just hanging around the neighborhood looking for puss...uh, female cats. Betcha by the end of the week there'll be two lumps under the covers again. Make sure you keep Kittyboy on the lanai so Bruno can hear him wail.

As for witnessing Bruno's escapades, I remember them well. He'd go wandering off what--5? 6? times a night. I always say the two sounds I'll forever associate with Hawaii are roosters, and David saying "Bruno!" every evening when kitty went a-courtin'

David,

I can't even imagine what you're going through right now. I know the feeling I get when my "Jake" decides to go and sleep in the closet for a while and I keep calling him, with no response. I think, oh, my God, did he run out when I wasn't looking. Then, of course, he stumbles out of the closet, half asleep, with that look on his face like, what? Were you looking for me?

Hopefully, that same scenerio will happen and your cat will come stumbling into the yard with that same expression.

Jake and I are sending messages from Rhode Island telling your cat to get on home!!!

My cat stories regarding this aren't happy, but here's one that rates some mention, because of the happy ending. There is a twelve year old boy down the street that has a young orange tabby tomcat. The kitty went missing, and the boy became enraged and smashed up his dad's living room. The cat was asleep in another room. My roommate can empathise with you quite a bit, that's all I will say. You are in our thoughts. When I sent TomTiger to his job today, I asked him to keep Bruno in his thoughts. We're wishing you the best.

And Kokua

Hawaiian for "comforter". She's my best girl.

You are welcome to laugh at me...

But after a week of torture, Dennis and I contacted Hilary Rennaisance, a pet psychic. She told me that Bruno thinks he is on the other side as he can no longer move his physical body. The psychic was not really able to tell me what happened, but Dennis and I suspect that Bruno may have had a weak heart (he was the runt of the litter.) She told me where I can find his body-her descpiption of the area was very good-but I don't think I want to do that now.

Bruno is finally as free as he wants to be.

While I don't necessarily discount psychics out of hand, since their input has proven to be of some help in police work (but not as much help as some of them would have you believe), don't say a eulogy for your baby just yet. The psychic COULD be wrong.......

I do understand the sad desperation of needing an answer, of knowing what's happened. But sometimes, for whatever reason, we don't always get an answer or any real sense of closure.

Hang in there.

So sorry about your cat boy. I have six wonderful cats and
one wonderful dog. I am hoping to post a picture of my Smokey
Smith next month when he turns Nineteen ; he's lookin pretty
long on the tooth , but he keeps hangin in there. A little
over a year ago, I thought he had at least three paws on the bridge ; don't know what he had, but I even ran water to soften the earth near my Rose Patch for his final place.
He wouldn't eat a crumb or lap a lick for about five days and
I was devasted. He holed up outside in an unsusal place for about two and a half days. I finally brought him in , and then
he picked an inside spot to hunker down and fade away, I
thougt. I begged and pleaded with him to eat and tried every-
thing and I wailed the whole time. About the sixth day ,
he started eating and drinking the smallest bits. Finally
he came all the way out of it. After that episode he refused to use the indoor cat box , but adjusted very reasonably to
me creating a business spot out of these white bath size towels that I have a big supply of. If I don't have at least
two seperate locations that have no more than three uses ,
he doesn't hesitate to come and let me know; he usually will
wait until I put out a fresh set for him. Cats are just amazing people. I don't think that your contacting the Psychic
is laughable at all. I think I would be inclined to do that
in similar circumstances. Though it is a grim prospect, if you
can steel yourself to locate his body , it might give you a great deal of comfort to select a special final resting place
for him and have a little service. I am so sorry about your
little Brunnie....

My roommate Lana used to live next door, with 10 cats. One day she took me to look at a new car for me, and Isabel, her elderly grey tabby was out, as she did once in a while. We never saw her again. I never have forgiven myself. Lana moved to Vero Beach, FL. in the following January, and her 17 year old orange tabby Macavity walked away forever. Moved her back to Port St. Lucie in April this year, her idiot Vero landlord and family frightened 13 year old Maka, a tom, away with major landscape cleaning and cutting that could not wait another day.(it could) One night Lana dreamed that a young and healthy Macavity came to see her, to let her know he was all right. He was a wonderful old soul, he'd nap on my porch the first time she lived here. Pet psychics, or any psychics are not to be dismissed. Yes there are fakes, but they are the minority. You owe it to your boy to look one more time. Thank you for the update.

Frontaloadotmy, Were you by any chance using a clumping litter? A friend who has cats told me that the clay used to make the litter clump has a dust that can be fatal to cats. Since Smokey will not go back to the litter box, I wonder if it has something to do with the litter? Just a thought from a deranged mind. Tom

Dennis and David,

My own thought is you should do what you feel is right for you. If you think you're strong enough, look where the psychic told you. You may or may not find anything. If you do, then you will not be wondering, is he all right, is he hurt. If not, then at least you know you've done everything you could.

Jake and I are still holding out for a happy ending.

I hadn't checked this thread in a while, sorry to hear of the developments. David, not to be morbid, but I think you should have a look at the suggested location. May not be anything there. In the end you'll likely feel better to know for sure, and perhaps to be able to place Bruno's physical remains to rest properly if need be. But remember, if you do find something there, you'll always have Bruno's spirit in your heart.
