Lost Kitty UPDATE: Found!

[uranusbytes.livejournal.com]

Hello,

One of my kitties ran away Thursday, Oct. 18. He is an all-gray Domestic Shorthair who may deign to respond to the name "Tarawa." He is fixed and weighs about 15 pounds. Tarawa is a bit of a scaredy-cat when he is unfamiliar with something, so he may hiss at you if you approach him. He is an indoor kitty who slipped outside Thu night, and his brother (from whom he has never been separated) misses him terribly.

I live near the corner of Willow and Highland Ave., between Porter and Davis Squares.

If you see him or have him, please email me at: wolfseye1022 AT hotmail DOT com

Thanks!

Kerri

Thanks to a wonderful suggestion from a concerned pet owner, we put something outside that our kitty could smell to find his way home (i.e. - we cleaned the litter box and put the bag on the back porch). Around 4am, we were awakened by the sound of a very familiar and distinctive meow on the back porch. He was home!

Thanks to everyone for the support and suggestions.

If he is an inside kitty you may want to try an have a heart trap. They have been known to work with "scaredy" cats.

We're pretty close neighbors; I'll keep an eye out.

I walk home from work through that area frequently, and will keep an eye out for him.

I saw a gray cat hanging out on my patio chair two nights this week -- I live over on Sycamore Street, so it's maybe a half mile away -- not impossible for a cat to wander that far, I suppose.

Contact me via my LJ address if you want more details, and I'll certainly email you if I see him again tomorrow!

I'm down the street and will keep an eye out as well.

My cat "disapparated" overnight a couple of weeks ago and I was frantic - crawling into people's backyards going "tsch tsch" (that 'come here cat' sound). And she just appeared later the next day.

He'll turn up.

in my driveway...

At about 5:00pm yesterday, I noticed a gray kitty strolling down our driveway. We're at College and Summit. I thought it was strange since I hadn't seen cats in the neighborhood ever before, but he had a collar and our neighbor has a cat who I never see so I just figured. Cats do wander... I'll post if I see him again.
