Ola People

It has been a strange weekend..... I have not something like the C-word there are people around in the world who definately have bigger problems then me. Still I`m pretty sick of what happened.

Came home from work last saturday. I was ready with working early so I could prepare myself for a party the same evening. ( I eventually went to the party but more about that later)
Ok back to the story. So I came home and found there my mother sitting next to a box and in that box there was one of our cats. A grey one listening to the name Hetzge. Well We never know what happened because cats cannot speak. But it looked pretty bad. She was Concious but there was like 6 CM of bone sticking out of the tail (the skit was totally peeled off like a banana and the worst thing I could not even see as the cat was lying on it. The right rear paw was completely stripped of skin at the underside and Bone was visible. Mother in tears. And waiting for Father so they could bring it to the vet and see if the cat could be saved. If not she probably would get an injection to spare her more suffering. They left the cat at the vet waiting for more news. 3 hours later the vet called and said he did his best and after cleaning the wound, Amputating 7 CM of the cats tail, and adding 50!!!!!! Stitches to the cats right rear leg and wrapping it in in Green Bandage she could return home. I have no clue what my parents paid for the whole operation but looking at the houses of the vets here in Holland it will be serious money.
Ok the whole family was relieved cat came back home and she was more or less healthy.. She didn`t look too nice but at least she was alive. So I went to the party. It was a theme party and the theme was Pimps and ladies of lust. Well I went as a pimp (mods if I`m going to far about this point let me know) Ok well there was a prize for best costume... some of the people will most likely know I have done a couple more and won every time I competed. This time I won again and the prize was a Striptease from a very nice girl. Big fun.
Well Soon the happy feeling of the party would come to a sudden halt and the bad news would return. Waking up in the morning with a head like a busstop I came down to hear bad news. Due to some utter Stupidity from a member in my family which I shall not name. The cat managed to escape. The person removed the special collar which prevented the cat to bite in his bandage. And the cat escaped. Which is not even a problem when you have only 3 fit legs and 2 doors wide open to nature. The cat jumped over the fence we have her and that is the last thing we have seen from here. All this happened on Sunday.
She is on meds and she needs to take them but since she is not there that will be the second problem. Today I have made a couple of posters which will be copied tomorrow and spread and hopefully somebody can lead us to some information about the whereabouts of our cat. I know that when a cat feels not good (or in the worst case is feeling that the end of life is Near) they tend to disappear from the face of the earth to die in piece. Big chance you will never find your cat again. I`m silently hoping the cat will be found alive so we could take care over her again but the hope is kinda getting less and less. I`m not a big believer but more a realist. (no offence to the people who do believe in a god. No matter which one) So hopefully this story gets a tail (hopefully one that is 7 cm Shorter and grey) (and alive) I will keep you updated.

If you came to this point it means you were interested in my story in that case I will thank you for your time. I don`t really know what I`m asking for I only want to get this off my heart for a moment.

That's a real bummer Robert I definitely hope someone finds your cat soon. I have a cat of my own and I know I would be really sad if she ever took off.

My girlfriend had to get her 8 year old cat injected 3-4 months ago when we started dateing... sad to say when you've spent so much time iwth an animal who's always cuddeling you, the only thing on your mind is that cat, until a week or so ago when she found out she'd get a dog .

We'll, sounds like that party turned out to be fun.
Good luck finding the cat Robert,

Sincerly,
Frank

Robert,
Hope this story does have a happy ending.

For many of us pets are like people or family (or regarded better than most people anway).

Don't be too hard on the one who accidentaly let her out. He/she probably feels bad enough as it is.

Good luck with the search.

That really sucks Rob. I have two cats and would hate for anything to ever hapen to them. i guess I have an advantage though, both my cats are outdoor cats and always come home.



hoping for the best

After reading that post I just had to go play with my neighbor's cat. She likes to hang around my place for dinner scraps.

Hi Robert,

I hope your cat will return in good health! Now let's hope that what they say about cat's is true...having nine lives and so....
Next time take your member of the family, who's not so bight action this is, together with the cat to the vet, so this person can see what it takes to care properly for an animal. This might open his/her's eyes, and prevent some more "not so bright" actions in the future to happen!

I wish you and your family all the best of luck!

Greetz, John.

Ola Guys

Thanks for your replies. It more or less got some worries out of me head. Sad news is that since the poster action only one person called and told us that on teh day of the escape he saw the cat running over his Shed roof but that is actually the only news we have at the moment still no cat
