On Wednesday, our cat “Spammers” went missing. We are not sure why or where to. I noticed earlier that evening that the front door was a bit ajar, and suspect that she may have gone out that way. She is not an outdoor cat at all, so we thought she may have snuck outside and gotten freaked out, and hid somewhere. But it has been 5 days now, and we are pretty sure she isn’t still hiding. Chances are she ended up on someone elses doorstep. I wouldn’t blame her… I have, on occasion, forgotten to feed her.
The other possibility was that she decided she had had enough and wanted to “cash-out”. I have heard that when cats decide to call it quits, they quite often find a place to hide. With that in mind, we have spent a great deal of time searching all of the “hiding spot” in our home. We are pretty sure she is not there. (Additionally, we are getting to the point where we would begin to notice a dead cat hiding somewhere in the house).
I can’t say we are exceptionally heartbroken… Just baffled. Spammers is a cat who is already living (or was already living) her second chance.
All I can say is that Figaro (our older cat) is far more content these days.
