Message 1691838 - Posted: 15 Jun 2015, 20:38:26 UTC - in response to Message 1691809.  

We are all feeling very sad that there is no sign of Sauron. I am sure she would come home if she were able.

I have started to search local bushes for her body. There are coyotes and sometime the raccoons have been known to kill cats around here. However, if it happened near by I would have heard something. So I really don't know what to think.

Our other cat, Gandalf, is missing her. They used to fight, but also they would play together outside. Gandalf never liked spending too much time outside on her own and before we got Sauron, would insist that we accompany her into the garden. Her and Sauron would hang out together out there, never far from each other. Now Gandalf mopes about the house looking for her. She won't eat the food from Sauron's bowl, but I am not yet ready to put Sauron's bowl away .

Gandalf has never been an athletic or even well co-ordinated cat. It was Sauron that taught her how to jump down from the shed roof, and it was Sauron who showed her how to climb in and out of the house through open windows. If you want to know what sort of cat Sauron was, go watch the movie "how to train your dragon" I should have called her Toothless.

Everyone is so sad and missing her so much.

All I can say is don't give up, keep looking and asking, got a picture of Sauron? Make copies of that picture, leave some at the shelters nearby, more eyeballs on the job helps, one might score a hit.

Here in Stockton we have a website to post to for lost pets. If there isn't one in Vancover, start one.

Far out idea, but have you considered putting Gandalf on a leech to help look?

Meet Matilda, the cat with ‘alien eyes’

There’s an alien cat that is becoming an internet sensation.

Meet Matilda, the cat with gigantic “alien-like” eyes.

Matilda’s owners identify themselves as “The Bearded Man” and “The Lady,” and they say that Matilda was not born this way. She has thousands of Instagram followers because of her large eyes, the result of a genetic eye disorder.

Her eyes look “alien-like” because the lenses of her eyes detached one at a time. She takes eye drops to relieve pain and pressure and has a GoFundMe page to help with medical expenses.

Matilda is now blind, but she has a pretty good life. She counts many as friends, including the family dog.

She has been posted on the BC missing pets page since a couple of days after she went. I have an ad on Craigslist and I have put up posters in the neighbourhood and in the nearests vets and Starbucks. I also put leaflets in all the houses in our block in case she had got herself locked in someone's shed. Every night I have been out cycling parts of the neighbourhood shaking her kitty snack box and asking local dog walkers if they have seen her.

Nothing. She has just vanished into thin air. We are all totally heartbroken here. It hasn't rained since she left, so I am thinking she may come home when it does and its not so much fun hanging outside any more. Other than that I just have to hope someone finds her.

Well, if it helps at all, I am heartbroken on your behalf as well.

But not giving up my hopes and prayers for dear Sauron to find her way back to you.

Here is something to brighten your day...
Cat videos make you happy and boost energy - according to SCIENCE

Researchers say we cannot ignore internet cats anymore - although they might choose to ignore us human underlings.

Watching cat videos online boosts viewers' energy and positive emotions and decreases negative feelings, according to a new study.

Participants in the study said they felt more energetic and positive after watching cats online and had fewer negative emotions. The pleasure they got from watching the clips outweighed any guilt they felt about not working.

@ES.....
Do you think it would help to offer a 'no questions asked' reward for the return of Sauron safe and sound?
If so, I would donate to such a reward fund.

Mark, that is really kind of you. I have thought about it, but I was put off because someone was telling me how a cat like theirs had gone missing so the owner had put up a reward and she kept having to stop people from kidnapping her cat to try and claim the reward.

Perhaps if I keep the reward small enough so people won't be tempted to do something like that.

Either way, I won't take your money, but thank you anyway.

Oh, OK. I understand. Just wishing I could do more.

But I'll continue to send my positive energies your way and hope they help.

I have a vague memory of our first cat, Alberta, disappearing for a couple of weeks when I was little. She finally came back after a storm. That was when my parents finally got her fixed, just in case she's been "up to" something while she was gone.

We are all so upset.
