Hi everyone
My beautiful cat Tictac has gone missing. He hasn't been home in 5 days. We live in the countryside and have asked a lot of our neighbours to keep an eye out for him. Nobody has seen him. We have checked the roads in case he was knocked down but he seems to have disappeared. He has been neutered so to stay away for more than 2 nights has never occurred. Essentially, we want to know if we should hold out hope or just reconcile ourselves to the fact that he is really gone. I would appreciate any responses   - be they positive or negative or any clues as to where this beautiful 3 year old white cat could be.
Yours in hope, lishis

Personally I would never give up completely with regards to finding any wayward pet. When I was much younger we owned a pet galah (a sort of parrot found here in Australia) that escaped from it's cage and went missing for almost seven months until a person almost 40 kilometres from where were were living at the time saw the bird in their back yard and just happened to still have the old newspaper containing one of our appeals for help to find it plus our telephone number.

Therefore while 5 days without your cat may seem like an eternity to you, your reading shows that your beloved pet should eventually be found largely by a stroke of good luck in a similar manner to what our bird was all those years ago. Only if the cat has not been returned to you after say the end of this year would I be thinking about replacing it with another, unless you have a small child or elderly person who depends on the animal for emotional support and for a feeling as though life is still worth living.

Please keep us updated about any further developments of a positive nature,

Thank you so much Eye of Tiger. Your time and insight  means a lot to me. xxxx

Did TicTac ever return?  I hope so.  Let us know!

Hi Happy Chick
Thanks for your message out of the blue. Tictac has not returned, however this wonderful neighbour of ours thinks that she might have sighted him in a right sorry state not too far from our home.
It may or may not be he, but maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
This neighbour woke up at 1.30 am, got her husband out of bed and drove to where the cat had been sighted a few days before. She has left food for him each morning in the hope that he will come closer.
Some people are so special.
You must be a very special person too to have thought to enquire.
Don't know if you have any psychic gift, but if so, would love to know if you feel that this white cat is my beauty.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness
