my kitty ran away

IowaStatePhiPsi · #1 10-04-2004, 08:34 PM

The bad roommate came home while I was at class and the good roommate was running errands... and the cats "bolted out the door" when he came home.

Flaquita came back cuz she's pregnant and wanted to sleep ontop of one of the bar fridges.

Phydeaux- was last seen exploring behind our house- my good roommate and I tracked him for awhile but he kept running and hiding when we got near him.
:-(

So now I'm trying to study for a test in a crappy mood. I want my kitty back!

leave food on the porch and keep calling him out the door....after some exploring they frequently come home!

This site has tons of helpful information. Leaving food out is a great idea -- when Xochitl ran away once, she came back for the food and then just walked back into the house like nothing ever happened. I was so happy to have her back I couldn't stay mad at her.

I put some food out for him by the door and I've had the door open a bit all evening to see if he'll come back.
To help him find his way home I've put a small container with some of the litter (with some clumps) from the litter box by the steps, and for the evening prego-cat is in her cat-carrier by the door so that her pathetic meows attract Phydeaux home.

You know, T., you say you never want to have kids but it sounds to me like you already have them. They're just furry and have paws instead of feet!

I hope your cat comes back, the very next day. Also, I'm listening to music choice electronica station. Also, that picture was funny

yeah for you...i had a neighbor once tell me as long as there is food, water and a warm place to sleep they come home if they can.
