Now Leopold Is Missing!, My Bengal Cat Options

[ladywolf]

Sigh. Just as I was learning to love the little dickens ALMOST as much as I loved Ladywolf and Poppers, he has disappeared. It's only been four days, but he was a homeboy. An outdoor cat in charge of maintaining order in the "hood", but he never left his own and the neighbors' properties.

The empty feeling is indescribable; i'm sure others in this section have done a far better job that I would. In fact, I who had so many words when Poppers and then Ladywolf were dying, don't even know what to say now. I feel like my heart is lying in a gutter somewhere, just tossed away.

This is very, very hard. I just lost Ladywolf last June. Words of comfort and encouragement will be much appreciated. By the way, Leopold was neutered months ago now.

Love to everyone--Margi/Ladywolf

That is WONDERFUL news that he has been seen and doing well. It does appear he is staying away until things calm down at home. Don't take it personally. Cats are very smart and know when some situation does not feel safe and with the former neighbor hanging around i can see where he might want to keep a low profile for now. I was concerned when you said that you had been the one to turn the guy in to the landlord and hope he does not know it was you or that Leopold is your cat since that could be dangerous with a sociopath. Any Leo is still a young cat-so this is probably part self preservation and part adventure in his mind maybe. But I am sure he is missing you. Hopefully they will see him again soon and let you know or be able to catch him for you.
