That does sound like someone came back from holiday or opened their shed door for the first time in three weeks - I expect they got a shock when the cat streaked out! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does raise the question of just where she was though! They live in a fairly open area on the edge of a village, there aren't that many houses all that neabry and AFAIK none of those ones had anyone on holiday. Could've been a shed though. After that long I assume she must've had access to water to survive. Edited March 4, 2022 by Reorte 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastglosmog Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 4 hours ago, Reorte said: Heaven knows I needed some good news to cheer me up these days, and I've got it. Phone range this morning, my mum saying she'd come downstairs this morning to find her cat back in her usual place, after getting close to three weeks away. Very scrawny but otherwise looking perfectly fine, no sign of injury. I think we'd all pretty much given up hope even though we were all telling ourselves "they do sometimes turn up after this long." What a relief! Great to have some good news! Maybe she is a time traveling Schrodinger's cat (see Terry Pratchet and the Unadulterated cat) and nipped forwards 3 weeks to get the massive welcome home dinner? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted March 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2022 The longest ours has been AWOL is over a weekend. Our neighbour opened his garage door on a Monday morning to get his car out to drive to work and our cat shot out and legged it straight to our front door. She hasn’t been seen near his garage since… 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Reorte Posted March 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I've found out what happened - turned out there was someone away, a very large house nearby that's someone's second home that they're hardly ever in (what a waste). She was found when a workman had gone in to do something to the kitchen; might've been the last time he was there that she got in. The first time mine went missing, only for one night, she'd got in to a neighbour's house. She got found when my neighbour had gone to bed and she jumped on the bed, nearly scaring the life out of him. Good job he likes cats!

RMweb Premium Popular Post petethemole Posted March 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 Here our beloved Tigger is more than a bit under the weather. He's been favouring his left hind leg for a few days; last night he was struggling to walk, dragging the leg. and it kept giving way under him. A visit to an emergency vet today revealed he has a thromboembolism, a blood clot blocking the flow to the leg, due to heart disease. He has had painkiller and has to have aspirin in the hope of clearing the clot, so is still with us. He has to see a regular vet next week. but unless they can do something about the heart disease the prognosis is not good; he may get another clot or have a heart attack. At least we're (sort of) prepared for the worst, but we're all sad ATM. 31 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Andy Hayter Posted March 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 I feel for that uncomfortable foreboding. Our eldest at nearly 16 years has been losing weight despite eating well for a number of weeks and has shown all of the effects of what you might think of as feline senility. Yesterday morning we found him dead on the floor. Farewell Jacques. 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post 47137 Posted March 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Harry is not allowed in the hobby room and he knows this. But I took a long soak in the tub and left the door wide open and temptation was too great. This window sill has both sunlight and a heating radiator. I had to clear off most of the bench to get him out. - Richard. Edited April 3, 2022 by 47137 10 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about all of my photos of Harry are of him asleep. This is because, apart from eating, sleeping is pretty much all he does here. He doesn't really know how to play, which is a great pity. I have just about trained him to merely nip me and not bite me, but in truth sleeping is his main activity. His own household brought a new baby home a week ago and I think my house is a bit of a sanctuary. He is getting a window sill habit. I think this started because he can watch his own household and soak up the sun. The one in the kitchen is a new place for him, I think he is exhausted by the new arrival. - Richard.
