Had one who was in his garden when I gave him a leaflet say "Oh missing cat thought I ate something nasty in the Chinese last night"

What a

Sending our thoughts (to you) and go home vibes (to Poppy).

in my road all the young children helped me post leaflets and it warmed my heart

There's always one

Glad the kids have helped out.
Don't give up hope - one of our family cats went missing for three weeks - she escaped from the cat basket three miles from home on a trip to the vet. It took her three weeks to find her way back, but she made it

re photo of Wizzy i posted one under RIP NINJA, It shows his markings lovely

Corporal Smokey · « **Reply #69 on:** August 14, 2008, 21:53:44 PM »

Well as you know there's a Jo, Jane, Janice and Joyce so Wizzy could well have gone to a J!

Whereabouts are you hun. It might be too late for him to be handed into us now but at least if he has been homed through us I might recognise a picture.

Sorry you're still missing your furbabe

and Mrs R have another one of these

bonnielass · « **Reply #68 on:** August 14, 2008, 21:16:07 PM »

in reply to Corperal Smokey, im afraid Wizzy hasnt come home

,its been almost 4 months now but i havent given up all hope even tho ive been told by communicators, 1 says hes passed to the bridge another says hes in a rescue somewhere with someone with the initial J and also homing imminent and also 2 cats called coco and cookie,so i dont know what to think?????

MrsR · « **Reply #67 on:** August 14, 2008, 20:34:34 PM »

Still nothing, got home from work and no Popster so kept myself busy doing housework till hubby came home. Tomorrow after work we are going to re-leaflet though.

Dawn F · « **Reply #66 on:** August 14, 2008, 14:28:34 PM »

and Julie had Tilly missing for about three months as well and that was over winter - she ended up being in a garden a few houses down if I remember rightly

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #65 on:** August 14, 2008, 12:58:11 PM »

Never give up hope, MrsR. Remember Zsa Zsa, whom I found after three months AWOL - and she was as right as rain. It was summer she went walkabout too.

MrsR · « **Reply #64 on:** August 14, 2008, 12:40:59 PM »

Mrs R i dont know if this will help, but i lost my cat Wizzy 4 month ago ,i was given some local numbers and thought they may be of some help,Janice cpl swanwick, 01773 784586 --Jo ashfield and amber valley 01332 780800 ---JANE 01773 860126,THERES ALSO pHIL cLARKE (cat man) 01623 756592, i hope these help and she comes home soon, i will be thinking of you

Thanks for these numbers but a couple of them are ever-so-slightly the wrong details. Janice isn't CP. She does a fabulous job co-ordinating some local rescues such as South Normanton where I'm a volunteer. Poppy shouldn't end up there but I will let them know to keep an eye out. Jane IS CP in Swanwick, although that number is for her Cattery business (finest in the area imho) but she's part of Ashfield and Amber Valley branch dealing with the older cats and is currently full. Jo is also Ashfield and Amber Valley as a fosterer but she's based towards Ilkeston somewhere so it's not as likely she'll come across Poppy (although she does keep the lost and found register up to date).

In all instances I'm sure they would be referred to the coordinator at Ashfield and Amber Valley who is armed with information to safely return Poppy to MrsR. They have had a cat brought in who's a reasonable Poppy-a-like (see my prev post) so they know exactly what they looking for and they're really hot on checking for chips.

Jo also has a chip-scanner so that would be her first job too. I'm not sure about Janice as I don't know her personally.

One more thing. Mrs R I am going to help you over the weekend if she's not back!

edited to add: Bonnielass did your Wizzy come home hun?

Bit scared to post in case you think its news - so sorry it isn''t .
Just to let you know we ( me and the cats ) are thinking of you and hoping Poppy comes home soon.

I am just so sad from right inside my heart, its the only way I can describe it. Think if she has passed I'd prefer to know as I could mourn her but the not knowing is the worst bit

So many thoughts and questions go through your mind! Even if someone has her I'd like to know as I could tell thm how to best look after her, her habits, ets - you klnow what I am saying right?

Not knowing is the hardest thing, I've been there and I really feel for you

I was Poppy's second chance - have I failed her?

Not at all, you clearly give your cats a fantastic home!

The uncertainty must be awful.

I gave Binky freedom (he would never have been an indoor cat - I had to haul him back in through a first floor window once as he was intent on escaping by his back legs) and he had a short life but he was a happy cat, all you can do is the best for them and find a compromise between safety and freedom that works for you all.

I really feel for you.

MrsR · « **Reply #56 on:** August 13, 2008, 22:21:48 PM »

Your posts has made me sob, have done great today on holding them back but I guess if they are going to come then they will.

Hubby said on Friday after work we will have a mass posting of leaflets ariund the area again and I think we will go further afield.

I am just so sad from right inside my heart, its the only way I can describe it. Think if she has passed I'd prefer to know as I could mourn her but the not knowing is the worst bit - cant believe its the second time we have gone through this in this house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't feel guilty hun ... it's totally natural. You need to look after yourself ... Poppy won't want to come home to a poorly mummy now will she

lucy · « **Reply #54 on:** August 13, 2008, 22:12:13 PM »

Don't feel guilty, you are doing all you can to get Poppy home. I really hope she comes home soon!

MrsR · « **Reply #53 on:** August 13, 2008, 22:06:41 PM »

Feeling very guilty now - the end part of this night I have have been in denial and have been pretending in my head all is fine - I am just so exhuasted that I just needed to pretend that my little girl was home even though she isn't. I feel so bad I have done this but I feel ill and exhausted

I am sorry

Also try looking yourself up on google maps or multimap, you can see any areas of interest nicely and can zoom in on the neighbours

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2008, 17:39:17 PM »

When I found Zsa Zsa a couple of years ago, she had been missing for three months and was only a couple of hundred yards from her home. But her family didn't think to look or post posters round our way because there is a church in between their house and ours, windy roads and cul-de-sacs. So the houses seem further apart than they are, if that makes sense.

Have you thought about the route Poppy might have taken from a cat's point of view rather than a human one, MrsR? That is, if there are dead ends or walls around your way, there will be separate areas in your mind but not in Poppy's, causing you to miss out looking in some places?

MrsR · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2008, 17:20:54 PM »

No all our neighbours are in at the mo, everyone in our street is in actually

Dawn F · « **Reply #38 on:** August 12, 2008, 17:18:50 PM »

have you got any neighbours who may have gone away for a few days, before we had cat proofing Oscar got locked in my neighbours house and peed on the bed!
