Phoebe Update: Missing 5 Days

Morning No. 5: Set out another kitty buffet near the drain where I thought Phoebe might be hiding. The drain was found Wednesday during one of my foot searches. There was an animal in it the first time I looked but I had trouble making it out. It could have been my cat. Whatever it was, it was not in there the next evening when I looked.

I sat out for an hour and a half today and saw a cat when I first showed up but it did not hang around to sample any of the sardines, mackerel, crab or crunchy filet mignon food I brought out. Saw a couple of opossums and that's it. Should I be offended?? Today I'm on the hunt for a trail camera so I can get some damned sleep!

Phoebe Update I

I put out my first "kitty buffet" this morning right outside where Phoebe made her exit. Unbelievably the only living things that showed up were the slugs and bugs! Bastids! Seriously?! What cat wouldn't kill to get meals like this and not a single one showed up during the two hours it was out.

I ended up moving the buffet to a more remote location and a cat did show up but we had a stand off as I stood between it and the buffet. Then someone came out to go to work and scared the cat off with their electric garage opener.  With all the damn sprinklers going on and off all morning it's a wonder any animal hangs around! What a discouraging morning! Will try again tomorrow.

PHOEBE MISSING!

My Phoebe kitty went off my 2nd floor balcony apparently in hot pursuit of a toy mouse on Monday afternoon! I'm absolutely sickened and my other baby is very distressed about her missing sister!

I spent Tuesday looking for Phoebe who I know is not seriously hurt because she tried to hide in the neighbor's unit. I spent time looking for information and otherwise buying things designed to aid my search which included, of all things, a humane trap! Yesterday morning I did catch a cat . . too bad it wasn't my cat!
