Are there any dark places near her home? Under some stairs or a porch or a
car? Maybe in a neighbor's yard? Those are great places for a frightened cat
to hide. When Dixie has taken her unauthorized walks of the farm I have called
to her and looked for her in panic (coyotes, dogs, hawks, cars) and driven her
farther away. A friend did a similar thing with her lost dog. Staying very
calm (yeah, sure) or just being still works. They think you are mad at them
and won't come to you if you are panic-sounding. After the initial panic of
the second walk-around I learned. She was back in the house in 2-4 hours as
opposed to 8-10 hours with the first walk around. My friend's dog was gone
several days with hundreds of people (literally) looking for her. She happened
to run right into my friend while fleeing from some of her would be rescuers.
Just thoughts. Good luck to your friend and her cats. Missy really misses
Tig.
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.

Subject: Tig is Missing
I'd just like to ask people to add Tig to their prayers. My best friend has
too sweet little kitties - Tig & Missy they are not FeLV but are still very
much loved and cared. " days ago Tig went missing from her back garden - she
never usually goes away from the garden and doesn't care to be out much. She
has not come home and is a timid cat who doesn't approach or get coaxed by
strangers so something has happened but we don't know what. Maybe she got
chased by another cat or even tried to venture off a little too far and got
lost. One thing is for sure she loves her home and my friend has always been
their mummy since they were 8 weeks old. Both cats snuggle into her like they
would their real mum - Tig wouldn't just leave home. I known cats to get
trapped somewhere or lost then reappear 4-6 weeks later so there is hope. But
this cat is such a shy little cat she would quite easily have a nervous
breakdown being away from home too long.
Please add her safe return to your prayers and mental energy to guide her
home (Bolton, UK)
