la_samtyrToday is quiet. S. stopped by last night and unfortunately he did not properly close the porch door, which meant all of the cats got outside. Which is no big problem, I'm trying to keep most of them off the porch as much as possible. But [You knew this was coming, didn't you?] two of them, Baby and Buddy, were definitely *not* supposed to get out. *Sigh* He apologised and all but people simply do not understand that the screen door essentially has no latch, and it doesn't take much of a breeze to push the inner door open.
Baby came straight back when I called but Buddy... idk. I am very much afraid he won't be back. There are a lot of not-friendly-to-cats people around here, and I have the feeling something happened to him. He had a cold and I was giving him medicine for it. Just a general 'scrip but still -- and last night was chilly out. Plus today is the last day of rifle season (deer hunting) so just... yeah. (A lot of times when guys don't get their limit they are more likely to go after other helpless critters, and cats are an overly tempting target at the best of times.) :/ I will keep hoping but if he doesn't show up before Thanksgiving, I am assuming the worst.
In the meantime, I am working on fic while potato soup cooks in the crockpot.

Date: 2009-11-23 03:02 am (UTC)FWIW, my indoor cat Smokey -- born to a stray right under the bushes in front of my house -- got out on us during one of the coldest winters on record. We all thought he was a goner, either starving or getting mauled or being hit by a car. Sure enough, he came back...four weeks later! Dirty, skinny, but still in one piece.
So don't lose faith, hon. Their "nine lives" reputation is a well-earned one.
*hugs*
