They accept me as one of theirs, the least I can do is give back. They are my kids. Their Family. They are my cats. You ever come home and just know there is something wrong? I have. One of my kids is missing. I know it may sound stupid to some of you but I know for others they know just what I am saying. I have four kids two from a previous relationship. Princess and Midnite. They were Christine's cats. Princess is missing. First time in years that I can remember that she did not meet me at the door roll over and push her feet against the wall and look at me. She didn't want to be touched she just wanted to be seen. You pet her she would run away. But she would lay there and be looked at as long as you stood there and looked at her.
I shouldn't say this about one of my own kids. But, She is a bitch. She owns the hallway and you have to go down the hallway to get anywhere. If she was in a good mood she would let the other cats pass without trouble. Just a snarl or two. She has tortured Oreo, my youngest for the most part of her life. Oreo is the black and white cat in my blog picture . " Overs"
Oreo has just learned this month that the bed is a pretty good place to be. I met Oreo at 5 Am in the morning. I opened the door to go to work and there in front is a box just about knee high. It held Oreo. Well I won't tell you what my first name was for her was. But I am sure you can guess. She was put high enough that I could not step on her. It was thought out. She has also become one of my two food cats.
Meout is the other one. He is all boy. He is only one year old about the same age as Oreo and three times as big. But he has a heart of gold. And for that heart of gold he gets brushed every night. I know he would not want that to get out into the neighborhood. But I can tell you.
I was helping some friends out. They had just moved from the other side of the mountain and need a place to stay.
That's cool, only one rule. No Pets.
The wife wore me down with wanting a dog and I gave up to a cat. Her husband did not help me a damn bit. It was on my shoulders and I cracked. But I got another Cat. Meout. She kept him locked up in their bedroom and was afraid my big cats would hurt him. She is right , they would have. But that is what cats do then they settle down. They become family.
Anyway, he would lay on the other side of the door and his little paw would stick out and I could swear he was saying " Me Out" When she was gone , he was out.
Two weeks later that cat was mine. I think it pissed her off but I did not have to worry about anymore pets.And I got another Cat.
In all my years of living I cannot remember a time I was given a cat. We just always found each other. I think they did more finding than I did. I usually just had to open a door. Or walk home from the a&w with a bucket of chicken. My two kids before this group used to be the neighbors cats. One in front of me and one behind me. In time they brought the cats over and said I might as well keep them. They said Two Dude would climb the curtains trying to get out. And yes there was a Dude. Same color and same skinny ugly body.
I have told you about midnite. She is pure black and sleek and a good looking cat.
She never laid on the bed, she was her own cat. That's Cool
After losing Christine, It was not two weeks and Midnite was sleeping on the bed. We comforted each other I think. She holds a big place in my heart. But I love that little Bitch just as much.
I have been home for almost 4 hours and still no Bitch. I would call her Princess but she does not answer to that. Maybe that is why I cannot find her. I cannot run around the yard and neighborhood calling " Here bitch, Here Bitch." See what I mean?
Hey if you are not going to love them and take care of them. Then why would have them ? They are Family
I could tell you where I found everyone of them when it was their time. I can tell you I was sad but not a bad sad. A gentle sad.
I am realistic, I know I am going to lose cats. They are cats. But the ones you don't find , they hurt awhile. You either wish they found a new home or the end was quick. I ain't kidding myself, they did not go find a new home.
So I will worry and I will wait. Just like a Father waiting on a child to get home. Man is she going to be in trouble ! Yeah Right.
Not trying to be a downer or anything. I am just thinking and this is what I do when I think and I wait. And go out and look around once in awhile.
And I will call her Princess. I may get lucky
Have You Seen This Cat ?

I sure hope you find your cat. Have you looked in the local shelters and humane societies? Someone may have found her and took her in. Post photos around the neighborhood and in windows of stores if they will allow it. Someone may know where she is. Please write another blog if you find her. I care. I'll pray an angel leads her home.

I know about cats and their being your kids, your family. I hope your wait will be over soon and your Princess will be home.

Cats are citizens of the universe. They will always come and go. Some will give you the time of day, if you ask; others will not ever. Tiger,Fritz,Snowball,Smudge,Fudge,Bandit,B.C.,Bitzy,Dexter,and B.C. have all given me tiny moments of their time; for which I am thankful. Hope you find her.

Please update about this kitty when she arrives home. Maybe she went outside to become "Mama" kitty! Once we had a Siamese who left and was gone for 21 days! Much prayer for that one. Susie was her name and lived to be 21 years old.

I can relate to your worry. I have walked the neighborhood many times looking for mine. I once found my tomboy in a tree that he could not get out of. I don't know why he liked to climb trees so much when he knew he was going to be too scared to get down by himself.
Hope she makes it back home after a night of partying and revelry.

cats are insufferably independent. I think thats why they appeal to us. I hope she is okay. I know exactly what you mean.

I hope she has come home by now, and that she was just on an adventure to show even more independence than usual.
It is like having another child that you stay up late, waiting and waiting for them to get home so you can finally get some sleep.
Good luck with your search, and bless you for your love of animals.

I tried 3 times to read this from my subscription to your blog. The page popped up with, She may as well quit looking...... So glad it got to the front!! Wish I could send George, the guard cat to help but he stays home all the time guarding me.
Love given always returns and cats have found the way back to their place where loving care is given!
Let it be so, Dorelle

Please, just go outside and call "Bitch, Bitch, here kitty, kitty" at all times of the day and nite. If anybody looks at you, just tell them that "Bitch" is Princess' nickname. What do you care, anyway. I've had them come and go too. One was stolen (but I didn't know it) and returned 10 weeks later. The last disappearance was TOES for 3 days. We were all happy he was home. Please keep us up to date, and don't give up.

Oh, Jeff...you are such a gentle, caring soul...I am thinking that Princess is just out celebrating the Summer Soltice right now...I picture her dancing naked (well, kinda, cuz she's covered in fur and all) and giving up a mousey sacrifice to the lesser gods that rule the summer season...but know that I hurt for you like all of us Pet Parents do when we miss a furkid...for any reason...I am praying to the Fur/Scale/Skin Creator that she comes home soon to you and yours.

So sorry to read this, Jeffry!!
I ran a cat house years ago and know just what you're feeling. I miss every single one of mine.....Jingles, Velcro, Oreo, Jacob, Sherbet, Cheech, Chong, Bobbie, Sloppy, Spooky, Foofer & Miss Molly.....and I'm proud to be owned by my current two, Pookie & Sissy. Hope you'll hear familiar scratches at the door soon!

First of all I hope bitch is back hope, but if not don't give up hope. My beloved cat was actually kicked out by a violent ex-boyfriend and I lost her for what I thought was forever. About 2 weeks later while getting the mail, along comes my cat (Chow Chow). She was worn and tatered, but she was OK. We gave each other lots of love and affection and we happy to be together again. I also want to mention how much I love the name of your other cat Meout. If I ever get another cat again I might just have to name mine after yours. Princesses (bitch) is in my Prayers. Sounds like she truly is an independent princesses..
