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.

We lost one of our babies soon after moving to a new home in the country; coyote, fox, raccoon, etc. live around us. After three months, we knew we'd never see her again.
Weren't we surprised when we heard a meow coming from the back porch! She was in rough condition, looking like she has survived a fight of some kind. After treatment, she recovered and lived with us another ten years before succumbing to cancer.
So don't give up. I hope she finds her way home soon, unharmed.
