That moment of terror from Ziggy this morning!
Well, it had to happen. Pat has been working late hours lately and got up this a.m. at 6 to let Hobo out and in and came back to bed. After, he got up fed who he could see and left. When I got up the note said Ziggy was nowhere to be found. FOR BREAKFAST???? Never. I knew he had gotten out.
It is stinky hot out and it had already been several hours since he could have gotten out. I grabbed the Temptations bad (kitty krak) and started walking out back shaking the bag. Checked the bushes where he loves to lie when he is out on leash...nothing ![]() ![]() Had to go back in to get Ginger down the stairs to do her business. When I got back out front he was lying on the neighbors front path in the shade looking at me. I did not have the treats at this point but did not want to lose sight on him so I walked over very slowly. To my amazement, he did not move. Let me pick him up and bring him in the house...no fight. I think he found some dry food that someone feeds ferals because he was really not as ravenous as he should have been that many hours late for breaky. He did, however, drink half a bowl of water. He did not attack Zuzu once (normal morning play) and is passed out at the top of the stairs. Me must have had quite an adventure...hope he scared himself silly too. I know he did me...phew, happy ending!!!!

Do you think he could have scared himself enough? Do cats work like that??? I really hope so. It was only less than an hour I was aware and I was shaking. Can't imagine people who LOSE their pets...must be awful ![]()

dap,My Chico was gone once for 2 hours and I know how you felt,I was shaking, crying all the time while walking up the street looking for him.
Only to find him sitting on our front-porch,tongue hanging out,he never tried it again,but of course you can never trust them 100%.

I can relate....when Milo was new to the house he was very shy and would hide .... the basement was still unfinished and I finally discovered he would hide under the furnace...but the first time I went out ...back in the good old days when I had a cleaning service... I could not find him anywhere and was positive the cleaning crew had let him out. I was so upset and worried, of course being a "normal" cat, he would not respond or even make a noise when I called him and I would never want to go through that again. I was even outside trying to distinguish if there were any paw prints in the snow. I still get anxious when ever anyone comes in.
My guys tend to avoid the door, but you never know. Awful feeling....but look at that peaceful, sleeping face...."what me upset my mommy???? never...just took a stroll!" ![]() |

I'm so glad you found him! I get terrified when Willie gets outside. He is the one out of the 4 that is always trying to get past the door!
And Ziggy is a beautiful cat!

Well Ziggy slept the entire day and only woke up for dinner. I think Zuzu would be happy if he went out everyday...he had no energy to antagonize her all day
![]() ![]() After dinner I brought them out with me while I went for a swim. Poor Ziggy was lying in the grass (on his leash) hunting bugs when I saw him put his paw on something, take it off really quickly and start furiously licking his paw. Poor little guy was stung by a wasp ![]() Thank you...he really is an angel...when he is sleeping ![]() ![]()
