The Wanderer Returns

Babe strolled in the house this morning, missing for three and a half days, looking not too much the worse for wear.

She was a bit nervous and need some comforting. Also very hungry but I didn’t give her too much food all at once, small meals and often, I didn’t want to make her sick.

I had imagined the worst case scenarios but the got best possible outcome - my beautiful Babe is back – couldn’t wait to post the news on Cat-Things and Twitter.

My heart goes out to pet owners whose pet is missing or passed over to the Rainbow Bridge. I shall do an article soon on coping with the grief. I have been using a tapping technique while Babe was lost and found that it helped but more on that later.

Babe is Missing

I feel totally devastated – my ten month old cat, Babe, went out sometime on Sunday night and we haven’t seen her since.

I know this happens a lot to cat owners and the feelings are mixed between hope and grief. It is early days – she could have taken fright at something and run further away from home than she’s ever been, maybe she can’t find her way back. We have my sister’s dog staying with us and that would be a good motivation for Babe to stay away, she has coped with the dog before but he really worries her.

All different scenarios have been playing in my head and I realise that whatever has happened it is really out of my control. So many pet owners must be in the same situation – it is the not knowing that is the worst thing.

NEWS

Tuesday: Babe still hasn’t been home but my nextdoor neighbour saw her being chased by another neighbour’s dog early yesterday morning. My neighbour chased the dog off and Babe made a run for it. It gives me a little bit of hope that she is still around somewhere – probably waiting until the coast is clear, we have my sister’s dog here until Friday.
