Lost Companion


I'm bummed.  Rusty went outside Friday evening about 8 pm.  I saw him sitting on the table in the back yard around 10 pm.  He didn't want to come in at that time and I haven't seen him since.  He has missed 4 meals.  He always comes home for breakfast.  I can only imagine that if he could come home then he would.  I would put signs up around the neighborhood except that there are several cats running around that look like him so it would just be confusing.  I just hope he isn't/wasn't in any pain or discomfort.  I still have hope that he might show up at the back door like he always does.  But with each passing day I'm beginning to believe that he is gone.  The kids were not really close to him so no trauma there.  Craig feels badly that we don't know where he is or what happened to him.  I really miss my little buddy.  I hope you are happy wherever you are Rustola.  I love you.

Ol' wheezy-sniffles. Suppose he could have gotten stuck in a neighbor's garage over the weekend?

I am very sad. Alberto loved Rusty and sometimes makes random comments about him. I hope that he is not suffering and if he did pass, it was a quick one.

Love to you. Know I will cry in bed tonight.

Rusty will come back! It was just a party weekend! Cats come back after like weeks and months and years...he will come back!

I'll keep a watch out for him too. I'm not giving up hope yet!

But I do I feel bad for the pregnant woman crying in bed last night...

Sorry sister! Hope he just met a really nice girl that's only in town for week and will be headed home soon.
