Thanks to all of you. I know he will come back to me.

Today was Zoe's first visit at the Vet. Gosh.... so brave her brother was (cool cat) so scared was she. I think she just need a very long sleep and lots of cuddles ... poor thing. But now, she has the first and most important vax  :Luv2: Healthy fur ball  :Luv: 
My second cat... she was not happy that I take her baby away... again loosing the little one. Huh... I think she don't like me for the next view hours   :scared:
hm... I think I can win both of them back with ... extracuddles...hihihihihihi *Feli-is-sneaking-behind-the-kitties*  :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Hi Feli,

Good to hear from you ... sorry that Nicki is still missing in action  :(

Oh my goodness Zoe is adorable  :Luv2: such beautiful big eyes and a very pretty little face.  I'm sure when Nicki gets home he will fall in love with her as much as you obviously have.

Hi Kosha,

Thans so much for all your good vibes. I really need it to find him.  :'(
I think little Zoe has been sent to me to cheer me up a bit and of course, to all my warmth, food, cuddles and so much love she want to have (and that is quite much... sweet little furball).

Of course i do have a pics from her. I will post a pic how she looked like when I got her. Have a look on her nose.. it was not a real cat nose ... just a pink round bottom  :Luv: Her belly was big and round and you could nearly feel every organ in this little body. Just a hand full of fur...  :Luv2:

Felida, It's great to hear from you! I've been wondering how it was going?

Glad you're not giving up on Nicky, My RW went missing for a month recently. Given where I live I thought i'd never see him again, I slept with his blankie and somehow managed to keep a link to him to the point that I had an overwhelming sense of lonliness come through from him about a week before he was found. He seems to also have picked up a 'guardian' -namely my bridge babe Smudge was keeping an eye on him (and still is  :Luv:)

You are doing everything you can to find him, be kind to yourself...he wouldn't want his mummy to make herself ill.  :tired:

Little Zoe.....how lovely that she has come into your life, she sounds wonderful.....do we get to see piccies  ;)

Take care, i'll keep transmitting 'come home' vibes for Nicky  :Luv: x

Oh thanks Stuart for sharing that with me. That gives me hope. He is still not back here.  :'( I will wait for him here... even if I planned to move but I can not move away without him.  :'(

In the meantime somebody brought me a little baby cat. She was just 6 weeks old and alone in the middle of nowhere. The person who found her had already 2 cats and after I saw this extreme little thing, she hypnotised me. She stared into my eyes around 5 minutes without blinking or looking away... so she looked deep deep into my soul and my heart. So she decided to adopt me. I gave her the name 'Zoe' because it was a miracle that she survived so young allone in the nature with no mommy-cat near. She is now 11 weeks old and absolutely amazing. My big cat adopted her too.

So now when my beloved Nicki will come back, 3 girls are waiting for him to put him back on his throne and cuddle him, feed him and never leave him.

I am still waiting for him *sigh*  :(

But with your furball back... you gave me hope that he will come back. Hold all your fingers and toes crossed for me...

Thanks
Feli

Oh wow thats fantastic news Stewart that your cat has turned up after so long. wonder if your cat got in a car and has eventually made his way back, don't suppose you will ever know, hope this gives hopes to others that have lost their cat.

Felida, I have followed your sad story during my own personal vigil with the loss of my own black cat Louis. He went missing from our garden in Chertsey last May and mysteriously turned up this Monday after 24 weeks. I have no idea where he has been, possibly a 'Weight Watchers' Club because he has lost half his weight but otherwise vet. reports he appears OK (12 years old). Let this be a source of encouragement to you, I know it is very difficult in the dark times. Stuart V

Thanks, Juliab ab for all your kindness..   :hug:  you are so right.. I am indeed neglected. My job asks for all my energy and then the search for Nicki. I am exhausted and feel guilty when I do not have the energy to go out 5 in the morning to search for him.  :(  When people call me and ask me to search for him in the morning... I feel more guilty because I do not have the energy for  :'(  I come home, feel as I have been in a hurricane the whole day and my other cat (Nicki's mum) looks at me and want her attention as well... yes... I think I am currently at the end of the line  :(

Thanks for the hint with the brownies. I've never heard from them so it is a good idea. I asked all kids what I've met to look out for him. I also asked in the local pub and my landlord did as well (and in the school where his kids are).
But I will also ask in the Town hall and maybe I can leave some posters there.

I send you a big hug  :hug:

How long are you missing your little one?

The false alarms are so awful. I had one yesterday. Cyber hugs. I used to live in Fifield Road so I know Maidenhead and Bray well. Have you tried contacting Bray and local brownies (1st Bray Brownies meet in the village hall on Tuesdays) - children are sharp eyed. Ditto with the schools. They will often put up a poster for you. I used to run Bray Brownies and found that most children know all the local animals.

Good luck. Don't despair. It feels so awful but try and imagine a wonderful outcome. Try and keep that in your mind to keep your spirits up. look after yourself too..that often gets neglected when you are worried.

I was hoping it too... It needs always a bit to digest that. I get a hint, I follow it and found a little cute black furball which is not mine.  :'( Just needs a bit ...   :'(

Hi Sam,

2 sightings so far. I saw the cat by myself in one area but I am not sure if it is mine. The cat was around 4 meters away from me and was scared and did not come to me. It sat under the Maidenhead bridge. But I've got a hint from which road it came from. So I'm driving now to this street to search for him... uhm... as I did the last days... I try also to get news from the pet communicator. Have to give her some pic's from here that she can send it to him. Hold your paw's crossed that I will find my babe soon.. we miss him so much... there is still this huge hole in my heart. And his mom is still looking for him ...  :(

going now again for finding my little angel.  :(

Hi Bazsmum,
Thank you. He is still not back yet... Will find him this weekend. Even if I have to turn around every stone ... some people called me, some gave me hints which I followed and tried to find him (well, I found a very cute black cat which was not mine... but still... extremely cute) and some called me for bad jokes... Well then... I continue finding my little one.

send you all a big bag of sunshine

Oh Feli that is wonderful news that someone may have seen your little boy! and your neighbours are being so helpful and friendly.  I'm glad it has given you a bit of a boost and it goes so show there are lots of good people around unfortunately you only hear about the bad ones on the news and in the newspapers.

I'm am still praying for you and nicki  :hug:

Hi Sam,

Quite good. I was the whole evening and after dawn on my side and the other side of the river.
Today I've got a call from the neighbour right in the opposite of me over the river. He was pretty sure that he saw him view days ago. We went then together to his neighbours and he introduced me to them. They took posters from me and I went through the whole area there. I've never seen so much kindness! Unbelievable! The Neighbour who called me allowed me that I can park my car on his property whenever I want to search my little one.
This kind people gave me so much energy. I thought I have had lost all energy the last days. Now I have so much that I will definitely find my little Nicki soon. I will continue every day after work until I find him.

I think he tries currently to come back to me. Please keep all paws crossed what you can  :shy:

Thanks Blackcat and Sam,

That was what I told the pet communicator. I would love to be a friend of this lady as well... If she would like to.

And I would be more than happy to help her to find 'her little furball'. There are so many cats in shelters they really want to give all the love a cat can give just for loving them back. Maybe that is his mission. To open the Lady's mind for a cat because catlove is the most wonderful love I can imagine ...

And thanks for the tip with the posters. Maybe I can find somebody around the houses there and I can ask for their permission to put them on a fence.

My bike is since last weekend ready for searching in a wider area (better to check if there are houses near any footpaths which I can not reach by car).

I will keep you updated and again - thanks so much for your good vibes

Feli

oooh that sounds positive at least.  I agree with everything BlackCat says .... Do Not worry about putting notices on private property as long as they are nice tidy posters people do not usually mind or have any objection to them (unless you start sticking them on doors or windows of course!  ;) ).

I really hope your boy is safe and well and you never know you and Nicki may end up with a new human friend at the end of all this.

Good luck with your search on the other side of the river. :hug:

I would have no qualms about putting posters on trees and fences, but would make sure I checked them regularly so that if they looked tatty I could replace them. The English don't seem to go in for letterboxes, but generally seem to have a slot in the door, so letterbox drops can be a real challenge. If he is with an elderly person who needs his company, and you find him, perhaps you can befriend that person and either find them a new kitten, or become a human friend for them. We all have a mission in our life, and sometimes the way we find it can be a strange and mysterious one.

Still thinking about you every day, Felida, even if I don't post. :hug:

Thanks Sam,
 
It is good to have good vibes until my little one is back.  :hug:

I have news from the pet communicator. She wrote that a very nice elderly lady found him and brought him to a vet (maybe he was not on my list of the 10 vet's I called). She takes care very much and he has now a task there... give her love (that makes me a bit jealous...no, not really because I will respect that even if I do not get his love right now) and he knows the way back. He seems to be on the other side of the river and he will come back to me. I feel a bit calmer now but still... only he can heal the big hole in my heart.  :(

I drove down the other river side but that is a private road and unfortunately I can not bring on any posters there (lots of bushes and trees which are private property... do you think I may pin on something on private property like a fence or a tree? In Germany it is not allowed might be here the same...). I tried to find some letterboxes... no success... (what are the postman doing? Beaming the letters in?).  :scared:

I will be next weekend again on the road to find him. And I want to find some vet's from this area which are not on my list. It seems so long... 4 weeks, 6 days, 3 hours and 20 minutes... *Feli-bangs-her-head-on-to-the-desk* >:(

 I do not give up!  >:(
