2 Days Until Bailey Has Been Missing For One Long Year

[Joanne_06]

I have also lost 2 to RTA's, 2 golden oldies at 17 and 21.5 years and love and miss them all but live in hope that our boys Salem (feral) and Bandit (My first handrear) will be back - they were devoted brothers when they lived with us although came in at different times

I just like to think someone is enjoying their company but one day they will come home to us.  We keep them in our hearts and still talk about them somehow time dimishes the pain of not knowing but we still love and miss them every day.

Hi Liz,
i'm so sorry to hear you lost 2 of your own cats through RTA aswell, i've never lost one of my cats through an RTA so i'm thinking its unlikely that my Bailey has been in an RTA, but thats me keeping my hopes up to find him, we lost our cat Pizza before shes 15 years old, she was lost twice, one time she got found about 15 minutes away a few days later...a lady took her in, and the other time she was missing for a week and was found over the back house in their shed, keeping in mind she was locked in there all through the fireworks as it was early november, apparently there dog was barking alot, and then they realised they had our cat locked in there shed, now Pizza is very scared of fireworks...

Thats why i say never give up there are positive stories out there....which are an influence to us who have missing cat/s

my thoughts are with you also xxx

Liz and Joanne,

I have lost 3 cats to RTA and then have Pooh who is missing - I find it easier to cope with Pooh being missing than the 3 cats that are buried in my garden. I think this is because i know the 3 in the garden are dead where as with Pooh there is hope that he is alive somewhere.

Dont get me wrong i Miss Pooh and it hurts but there is that glimmer of hope.
I've heard people say its worse when they are missing because you dont know what has happened but for me its easier.
I know Pooh wouldnt have just gone off to a new home because he wasnt that kind of cat. He was my shadow, i couldnt even wee without him sitting on my lap  (and thats the truth)
But he might have got in the back of a van or someone might have pinched him.
To be honest I do classify Pooh as being at the Bridge because in my heart thats where i feel he is BUT there is just a chance that he is somewhere else enjoying life with a new Mummy and thats what keeps me going.

Love to you both - and never give up hope xxx

Hi Michelle,
I'm very sorry to hear you lost three of your cats through RTA, you must be devastated with poor Pooh still being missing, i can understand that it must be more able to come to terms that maybe Pooh has gone to the Bridge, but as you said he might still be out there, and i agree its worse when they're missing because you don't no whats happened to them, whether they're still out there or not...also liked to add that your quote of Pooh being your shadow etc made me chuckle  hope you find him....also NEVER give up Michelle

my thoughts are with you xxx

anyway would also like to add to all other people reading this topic, PLEASE PLEASE don't give up your cat/s are out there some where...i shall never give up until i find him, which will happen one day...i hoping!

As Angie says don't give up hope    He is a very handsome young man 

Thanks Helen!
and yes i'm not going to give up....not ever!

1 year TODAY :O its been a long time...

Its those scammers which really make me annoyed, one person told me they lived in southampton and took it to Africa with them, and i could pay them the money to transport the cat, anyway this continued for a couple of weeks, and then i asked several times for a picture and i eventually got one, but it wasn't my cat, plus it was a scam so in the end i ended it

although i'm very grateful to those that actually got in contact with possible sightings etc

fingers crossed he will get back one day

Our Bailey who would now be 1 years old now nearly getting on for 2, he has been missing for nearly 12 months now, one long search of putting posters up around lamp posts, putting the posters through over 200 doors of local people, and putting notices in shop windows, visiting local shelters, calling around rescues, calling vets, telephoning the council, we even visited a few houses of people who thought they had found him, but unfortuently wasn't him, also have him on many websites, with the odd scammers pretending they have him  and we've talked to local people, and been outside searching

Also a person a few days ago contacted me with a tabby cat they had found, quite local, he sent some pictures forward, but still wasn't our long lost Bailey, we have him down at our local rescue centre as lost, so if he arrives there they will inform us, i hope....
