Put food (a favorite treat) near an open door or window where he can get in.
And leave a light on near the food. He is very frightened and probably
under a building or porch. He is very near by but needs encouragement to
come out. Is there any opening at all under the porch he could squeeze
thru? With his coloring he will be very hard to see in the shadows. Call
calmly to him. Panick will only frighten him more and he will go to a
corner and shiver and you will not see him. He wants you to find him so
very badly. Please hurry. Tux is scared to death. And he will never, ever
go out the door again.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.
St.
Francis

Subject: Need help and prayers for my sister's lost cat
Hi Everyone,
My sister's (Connie), inside-only tuxedo cat went missing sometime last
night. His name is Tux and he's short haired, and about 2yrs, with the
sweetest little kitten face. They think he may have snuck out when a
visitor left the screen door ajar, (the visitor left around 9pm). They
didn't miss him until this morning because my nephew thought he was
sleeping with my sister and my sister thought he was with my nephew. They
are sick with worry. Not only has he never been outside before, but he's
very skittish and they live in coyote territory. Being out at night is a
death sentence for any small pets in their neighborhood. To make matters
worse, he has short little legs and he can't even jump on a counter, let
alone scale a wall. I've set a trap in her front yard and they've
confined their other cat to the bedroom so they can leave the front door
open. She's already put up fliers and tomorrow we'll be canvassing the
neighborhood door to door with his picture and info. Please, please,
please take a moment to send out positive thoughts to help him find his
way home safely. This is doubly hard on Connie because her 17 year old
dog just crossed about a month ago.
I called several professional ACs today, but no one has called me back
yet. If anyone on the AC group can help contact him we'd be so
appreciative. I can only imagine how scared he is and how disoriented.
I've posted a couple of pictures under "Come home Tux", (I hope I did it
right!).
Thank you so much,
Nina
