I had a cat who would randomly choose someone's shins to suddenly attack,clawing and biting....it was kind of funny to me, he was my cat.....the rest were not so amused.....

I'll be praying for Taz's safe return.

I never was a cat guy, but the past week or so, I've been thinking about buying one.

My parents don't like cats, and I know my mom would freak if I bought a black one. But, the black ones I've seen have been so cuuuute.

Hang in there, amiga.

Taz is gorgeous. He looks like our old cat Funky
Is he very old?

Here's hoping he comes back, safe and sound.

dosen't adopt black cats in Oct....sounds a bit... to me ..

for Taz's safety IB..

My folks always (and still do have) a boat load of animals...1 thing my Mom always did to the kitties to make sure they came home ...was to rub each paw with a bit of real butter when Taz gets home...remember this...it really does work... They always take extra long to lick it off...somehow they remember...

and ers that Taz returns safely

any luck finding your

i hope he returns safely

go and adopt one at a shelter, your parents can't possibly have anything against you saving a cat!

he's about 11, but still very spry.

sorry to hear about Funky!

thanks, Meow!

pippet said:

no, they don't adopt OUT black cats in October, to prevent people getting them as props.

hell, i'll smear caviar on his paws if he comes back!

PEJ said:

not yet.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find her soon

maybe she will find her way home by herself.

thanks, sweetie!

My grey cat max was gone for 9 months once ... came back outta the blue and surprized us all

LleeLlee said:

i think (or should i say i hope) somebody has taken him inside. he never wandered very far, was afraid of cars, and of most people. but if somebody fed him, he'd become their friend very quickly - you can tell he doesn't miss a meal.

i'll put up some fliers and see what happens.

thanks LleeLlee!

Mach said:

wow - that's awesome.

4 the safe return off ur cat.

My cat did that a few years back she went wandering and got herself locked up in a garage. We all went out searching for her and 4 days later we got her back.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Cats do that, eat away from home, naughty! Let us know of any news IB!

katt said:

yeah, i've wondered about that, too. i hope the flier will help.

LleeLlee said:

thanks, i will!

I really hope you find him. We've had this happen to a couple of our cats over the years since I was young, and I know how awful it feels not knowing where they are. You never know though, sometimes they just turn up. I really hope he does.

it's amazing to me how many people can relate... a lot of people would probably just shrug, not understanding how much of a part of the family our animals can become. thanks, Minnie G!

I blame such comercial importance being placed on Halloween.

If someone has taken your cat as a prop to show off at some party, they need their head examining.

I hope taz scratches their eyes out and comes home.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

You're welcome. I really do know how it feels and it's just a horrible feeling. Whenever I'm out and about, running, etc. I'll see the posters that people put up about their missing pets and just stop and try to memorize what they look like. I'm constantly on the look out for them then. (although it's difficult here in Holland because almost everyone has a black and white cat, including me. I have two. They are very common here)

Anyway, a few years ago my sisters cat went missing for almost two weeks. She thought for sure that something awful happened to her, but then she came back! The cat was really freaked out and most likely got lost in the surrounding woods, but she's just fine. She won't go outside anymore though since that happened.

PREDOMINANT said:

maybe not that, but he might bite the shit out of their ankles!

minneapolisgenius said:

i thought i was the only one who reads those posters!

glad your sister's cat came back - all these stories of long-lost cats returning really give me hope!
