My little female cat Fil has been missing since about 2pm yesterday and I'm just sick with worry about her. She's escaped from the house a few times, but I've always managed to catch and get her back in within 30 minutes or so. Last night, we stood out on the porch and called her, left the door open, to no avail. For the first time in the last seven years, I went to sleep at home with Fil. It made me awful.
I went home for a few hours today and Quel & I plastered the neighborhood with flyers, offering a 100 dollar reward. We tried to go down the Oakland SPCA to file a report, but it was closed. I've got ads up on Craigslist both in pets and lost and found. Short of that, I don't know what to do.
I hope that she just wandered into someone's house and since she doesn't have a collar, they didn't know what to do with her. She's such a friendly and precocious love whore, that she can charm anyone. Since she doesn't have a collar, what are they going to do with her? Keep her, of course.
My neighborhood is full of speeding cars and pit bulls, so there's always that, but I think Fil is too smart/scared to get near the roads or the dogs, but she is only a cat, right?
Hopefully the flyers will produce a lead. I already did get two calls from neighbors, but they were both false alarms. Just other tortoise shell tabbies wandering around the neighborhood.
