LOST PET HELP LEADS TO THE RECOVERY OF DUKE

Just wanted to say thank you for posting the information about lost cat behaviour on the web. It was instrumental in finding my cat Duke who suddenly vanished into thin air (or so it seemed) last Tuesday. I did the usual – stuffing lost cat flyers into 200 plus mailboxes in my area, talking to delivery men and mail men – no-one had seen any trace of him. I walked the streets umpteen times over the course of a couple of days hoping to get some inkling of what had happened to him. Thursday, someone posted a link to your information in a FB cat group I belong to. I started yard searching that very night. Friday after work I knuckled down to some more serious yard hunting, trying to work out in a circle from my own house. Numerous backyards later, I was about to call it a night and then decided to do a few more across the street. I had not been calling him as I didn’t want to risk being further from home than he was and confusing him. For some reason at that first house across the street, I called him. There was a faint meow from behind me. I called again, and he went into full on meow mode! There he was, up on the roof of the next house along, huddled by the chimney. What a relief! The weather had been horrible all week – snow flurries, icy, but he was in surprisingly good condition, although from the piles of cat poop he’d left up there, he’d been there the whole 72 hours. I think he may have chased a squirrel up a nearby tree, leapt from there to the roof and didn’t have the nerve to try the leap back to the tree. Not sure who was more relieved that he was home – him or I! Thank you again!!

The Adventures of Pi and Loki

I rescued these brothers in October of 2016. Both these cats are Curious/ Clowns, however Pi is a little more shy and reserved. They both settled in to farm life beautifully. I did often worry about them because they like to get into vehicles if a door or window is open…….. then on October 23 2017 a boarder was bringing her horses to drop off and it was late at night, so we quickly unloaded them and she was on her way. The next morning when I went to the barn, I did not see Loki or Pi. This was very unusual as the cats were always there waiting for me. When I came home from work and they were not there I began to worry. I called the woman that brought the horses and asked her if she had seen the cats.  She told me she had cleaned the trailer out and delivered the trailer back to the person that loaned it to her and did not see the cats. She did notice there were cat paw prints on her tack box, but never saw the cats. By now I was panicking. I didn’t know for sure if one or both cats got in the trailer or if they jumped out along the way or went all the way to her home, which was 7 miles away and across a busy road. I began putting Facebook requests out and began going to her house every morning and every evening and calling them. I put up posters with pictures of Pi and Loki and continued to search on foot.  I got a call of a sighting and I put out a trap with food.  Exactly one week later on October 30th I got a call from a woman that one of the cats was at her house and she had been feeding him for the past week. It was Loki. He went about a ½ mile up the road and found a house on a hill with a Pit-bull and 2 cats and a sweet lady that fed him. I was so happy and Loki came running when I called him. Still no Pi. I continued to look for the next 2 weeks and no luck.

On Saturday Nov. 11, 2007,  I went down to the barn and was feeding who I thought was Loki and it turned out Pi was home. I thought I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He was so hungry and had lost weight, but he was home!  I hope this will help with your research. It is amazing how he found his way home as he has never left our farm. It’s also amazing the two cats went in totally different directions.

 

Thank you. .

2 Lost Cats

A week my 2 indoor only cats got out through a broken window screen. You advised in an article that I should thoroughly search close by neighbors properties and I found them within an hour hiding in a delapetated shed at the back of my neighbor’s property just two houses away. They were completely quiet and would not respond to me at all. I went several times a day for six days trying to coax them out but nothing worked. I obtained a humane trap planning to trap them as a last resort the next day. About midnight both of them showed up in my garage. They had obviously been watching me go back and forth and felt secure enough to leave the safety of the shed. Their behavior was almost exactly as you described it would be in your article that I read. Were it not for you I would not have looked as hard as I did and would have depended on fliers and social media. Thanks for saving my 2 cats!!!

Susan Long quite simply saved the day. There is so much emotional baggage tied up in that dumb, lovable, exasperating dog (and now he’s even more expensive).

I Couldn’t Wait Until the Next Week’s Lesson Arrived – Susan L.

I took the class expecting it to be superficial information that I already knew. I couldn’t have been more wrong! This class is in depth, research based, and very professional. I couldn’t wait until the next week’s lesson arrived. I highly recommend it for anyone that is helping to recover lost pets.
