oooh, Phoenix....I've so been there and done that....right after I moved to AZ, one of my boys snuck out the door on me...and I didn't realize it until I was getting ready to leave for work at 9:30pm. Only 2 kittehs showed up for dinner. I called and called, then had to leave for work. I spent all next day outside eveery 30 minutes calling him. I was a wreck, the kittehs don't know about mean dogs, and then there was the heat, it was August, and traffic, and all the poisonous creepy crawlies that cats find so much fun to pounce on! It was a looooong day.....but at 9:30 that night, I made another loop around the area, and there were a couple of ladies calling for him too, and we were at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the room I was staying in, and she asked me what his name was, and when I told her, I heard a "MOOOOM" meow from under a bush at the foot of the stairs. I was so thrilled to see him that I cried!!! Other than the fact that he was dehydrated and hungry, he was no less worse for the wear. And now I have to be really careful, because he still sneaks out the door on me, and he's really good at it! I think I aged 5 years that night!
Glad to hear your little wanderer came home.
Indeed, you know how it feels like. My boys are outside to 80% and thats fine, they love it outside...but they are also 2 and 4 years old, my 4 year old was homeless his first 2 years of life,so they know how to defend themselves when necessary (my 4 year old had nasty injuries at times, thankfully not anymore since about a year)...but summer is not even 4 months old, she turns 4 months on 25th of september, so she is still pray for our foxes here...I am just in tears that I have her back and I still don't get it how that happened...also her breeder is really upset about her loss from her 2 year old boy who was hit by a car 2 days ago (she kept him as another cat was suffering a furry loss and that boy cheered that other cat up, so for the sake of that other cat she kept that boy and did not sell him). So apart from own devastation it would have even hurt more to tell her if she would have been lost now. I also live quite close to a main road. My cats are fine and react well to it when cars come from that main road to our road but summer is just not really ready for outside. So I am just incredible relieved that I found her at the end and emailed my mum that I will now probably fly home (still depends on how my cold continues, though).
When I get my student money in end of the month I will go to the vet with her for micro chipping. I wanted to wait with it until I go with my cats to their vaccinations anyway in november or december and do it in one go, but if she would have gone missing now it would have been much harder to clarify that it is mine (if she would have been found safely) without that chip. After that ruined sunday with my worries about her that will get done within the next 2 weeks, thats for sure.
also thanks, stevie.
good night now (finally  )
