Heart Broken Options

[JackieMc]

My three year old cat, Banjo, has been missing for a few days now and I just feel in my heart that he's gone. He's never been away from home for more than hour or so before. Usually when he's outside, he's just on our front lawn so he'd never voluntarily stay away this long unless something was terribly wrong. We've been all through the neighbourhood looking for him, put up signs, called the shelter, etc. But, it's as if he vanished into thin air.

And I'm not coping very well. I love him so much and I'm so scared, thinking of what may have happened to him. Yesterday I stayed home from work and cried most all day (when I wasn't outside, hoarse from calling his name). Today I came to work but I've still spent most of the day in my office with my door closed, crying. Most of my co-workers think I'm insane, although I do have a few fellow pet-lovers who have been supportive.

My husband and children are sad too but they seem to be doing better than I am. I'm so relieved to have found this board as, right now, I don't know how I am going to get through this. Thank you for listening.

Hey Jackie, this is littlebits mom, i just wanted to thank you for you support with helping me come to grips with my loss, but i'm truly hoping and praying that you have a very very happy ending, i pray banjo is being loved by someone else in the area who doesn't realize that he already has a home and his mommy is missing him very much, so keep putting up those fliers, maybe someone will recognize him and you will be taken to him, please please keep the faith, you will be in my prayers as for all of my new "family" members here on LS will be too.
