Message 1748778 - Posted: 12 Dec 2015, 21:57:27 UTC

I am so happy I need to shout it from the rooftops. Today I received a phone call that someone had found my missing kitty, Sauron, all the way on the other side of Vancouver.

We have just got back from fetching her home and she is settling in. We have just moved house, so sadly for her we cannot return her to her old place while she gets used to being with us again.

She was found months ago in these people's back yard, skinny and afraid and they only managed to get her inside a couple of months ago. They had had trouble reading the tattoo in her ear, hence it taking so long to find out where she belonged.

We are so happy and grateful to have her home. I had given up hope and thought she had been eaten by a coyote. To have got so far across town I can only assume someone took her and left her there. Some people can be so cruel, but others so kind. She has been well looked after by the people that found her. I will post pictures of her when she is feeling less shy.

That's great! I know rabbits get their ears tattooed at the fair, but I'd never heard of other animals with that, and anyway the rabbits just have entry numbers on theirs.

I am so happy to have her home. Luckily we never got a dog because of the sudden house move (it was a surprise gift from the landlord who wanted to move his son into our house).

She is hiding under my son's house right now, I am a little worried about reintroducing her to Gandalf again after so long away. Its all going to take some adjustment.

I have a vet's appointment for her on Monday to get her checked out, I'll ask about it then.

She's come out from under the bed and is sitting on my son's desk while he plays on his computer. I think she is happy to be back with us.

Here she is last night sitting with her boy:



This morning I bought out her favourite toy, the laundry basket, and she hopped right in and started playing:



The people who found her have been feeding her lots, so she is a little fat. It took her a couple of goes to get her belly over the top of the basket!

That just made my month. I wouldn't worry to much about the reintroduction with Gandolf. There might be some hissing, but not more than that.
If they didn't have seperate litter boxes, I would start now.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

She is back using my son's mousepad as a cat bed right now. The two cats were fighting this morning at 5am so locked Gandalf in the bedroom for a bit until she got over herself. She's prowling around right now looking for for Sauron.

I always had separate litter boxes for them, but I got rid of Sauron's when we moved thinking I didn't need it anymore! I had to go out and buy another. Sauron always used both boxes anyway. We shall see if she has been changed by her adventure. She was gone from June 3rd, so its just over 6 months.
