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.

My kitty was missing for 3 weeks, she's very skiddish & extremely anxious about new people. She strolled up our driveway on the 3rd week. She was underweight, but overall, ok.

That was YEARS ago. She's still with us today, over 14 yo now. If that frazzled old girl can find her way home, yours can too! Keep the faith, you'll feel it in your heart that's she's still alive.
