My lovely and adorable cat missing

[karen4bells]

fantastic news--sitting here with a few tears in my eyes as I type. I am so happy your adorable kitty is back at home and hope that she stays there from now on.

Thank you all so much for all of your lovely messages!!

The neighbours where a bit sad to see her go, but they would phone me again if she appears in their house again. If she keeps appearing there to find a peaceful and quiet place to be, as 2 out of 4 cats are always trying to attack her here, I might have to decide something that would be in her best interest. I have to discuss that with them too of course.
I can come and visit her if I want to. But I don't want to think of that yet. Although it will be in my mind as I know my cat...
*sigh*

But anyways, happy dance!!

I hope it doesn't come to that, but it's so nice that you're willing to make that sacrifice if it's in her best interest. I don't know where I heard it, but I once heard a piece of wisdom that went something like this:

There are some things in this world that were never meant to be, sometimes if you love something, the only thing you can do is to let go.

Hoping you and Spetter are still meant to be together.

So happy to hear she's safe! I hope you don't have to make a difficult decision for her, but if you do decide she's best at the neighbour's, then you'll know it's for her sake and to take the best care of her you can.

Thank you Threadbear! I'm so pleased that she's back! I know she will be going back there, but at least I know where to find her!

Oh no! 2 cats taken in one night?!? Can't even imagine how you must feel!

Summer of '99, one evening a whole bunch of cats got taken, my two among them.
My girls were 12 and 10.
I think one cat from around here made it's way home, weeks later, but none of the others ever did.

The police said it was a gang going round.

I've always had cats in my life, but never been able to bring myself to have another since that happened.
I just enjoy looking at all of you members lovely kittys.

Rejoicing at your news.

Yay, that is great news!!!

Unfortunately after spending an hour next to me, kinda being angry that I took her away from there. She went outside again. I haven't seen her since.
My guess is that she' back there, relaxing on their spare bed without having the constant fear of being attacked by 2 other cats.

So I guess me and Spetter aren't meant to be. This has been playing on my mind all evening yesterday, that's probably the reason I slept so terrible and woke up with a headache. How much I want to be selfish it's hearbreaking watching her walking, or low to the floor crawling, to find her safe spot on the sofa. To be attacked half hour later while she's asleep. I can't be selfish if she's not happy.

If this is all the case I have to think deep and hard, but I think I already have made a decision, I only need to learn to live with it I guess.

It is good to know that she's safe and happy and warm

Sterkte with your difficult decision about Spetter

[Squirrel]

It is so very hard for you but I suspect that Spetter has made her decision about where she wants to be. At least you know she is well and happy and close by and you can visit her there.

Hang in there and enjoy your other cats.

Dank je wel Mabel and thank you Sally.

The neighbours came at the door yesterday and told me that she went back almost an hour after I took her back. I wasn't allowed to stroke her or anything.
So the dreading moment was there yesterday. They don't mind having her around, how much it hurts that she's happy there and not with me anymore. Thinking about it makes me all tear up again. I can visit her whenever I want, she really wants to stay there.
She was in the 9 days that we were in Amsterdam visiting their garden and sat under a bush. They saw that she was there in the cold and started to feed her. So that makes sense as to why she decided to not to come back and started to get fat without eating any food with me.

I couldn't got myself to the place yet that I can give them her passport and her chip number etc. Thats too much for me to handle at the moment. But I will get there, I have to for the sake of Spetter.

Anyways, I have to start dealing with the fact I lost my cat after 12.5 years and I will try to look at the positive things at her memories and the fact that I can still visit her.
She has made up her mind and we aren't meant to be.

Will miss her loads!

Thank you all for your replies and responses and hugs! I'm grateful that I could share my story with her here xxx
