Mourning The worst day
My cat was let out of the house two days ago and we haven’t seen her since. We live in the mountains, two blocks away from a big meadow that is home to dozens of coyotes. Whenever I see a lost cat poster around here I hang my head down low, and feel sorry for that family and their kitty they will likely never see again. Now it’s me hanging up the almost hopeless lost cat flyers. I’m still hoping for a miracle.
Every time I fall asleep I dream about finding her, and when I wake up my heart breaks all over again.
Her sister is sad and confused, and very much not okay. This is horrible.
We cancelled our holiday vacation that was supposed to start tomorrow. We are too heartbroken, and we couldn’t possibly leave our other cat on her own.

Sending you and stinky all the love in the world ❤️ I’ve got two kid sisters as well and can only imagine the other not understanding what is happening. Like all others have said, make sure a familiar scent/sound is present when looking for her. When I lost my Olivia for a few hours, it was a wet food can crack that had her sprint across the neighbors field into my hands.
Growing up on a farm on the other hand taught me one thing though, coyotes sound scary, but don’t mean instant death to animals. We had a litter of 9 voids right before I moved out on a 60 acre farm, and not a single one of those cats were taken out by those dumb dogs. Have hope, patience, and slowly incorporate acceptance if needed, but don’t jump to the worse case scenario ❤️
