He's back!!!!


Last evening I exhausted myself posting flyers around town, went to bed. At 1:00 in the morning my husband woke me up "the cat's back!" I was in a sleep stage, but bolted down the stairs, ran in the kitchen and there was Bennett! I had had a few dreams about him being back, the type of dreams that are so real, and I thought I was dreaming.

He was gone a total of eight weeks. He looked fine, no scratches or fight marks, and a bit on the thin side but not at all emaciated. He went somewhere far away, travelled many miles, and fended for himself, found his way back. And that includes crossing streets and woodlands that have coyotes, fisher cats, and dogs. He was not frightened or anything, just a bit on the hungry side.

Kim, cats are extremely crafty and know how to survive. I was told that he was killed by a predator, or chased out of his territory and was wandering lost. He was not lost, nor found. He came back. I am still hopeful that Twtichet will return.

Barb, Toonie, and all the others, your supportive words helped me get through the days. Thank you all.

This has been a horrible experience for me, and I thank God that Bennett came back. I bought two collars with ID tags (he's got one on now) and will never go out without one. I am sure if someone saw him they would think he is just some stray or one of a thousand other tabby cats. At least with the collar/ID people can know this is someone's cat.

I still have to digest the situation.
