It’s one of those times when you are so happy he is back but wished you could paddle his tiny kitty butt in being gone and making you worried.
So true! LOL! Since he’s a cat all I could do is ask him scoldingly, “Where have you been?” His response was totally cat–he ignored me completely!
So, I hugged and kissed him instead.Yes, all the while Sammy went “walk about” we prayed for his safe return, but always realizing he was in God’s hands no matter what the outcome might be.Ahh, to get inside the head of a cat.
Perhaps the lesson learned is that you are to trust God and hand over the worry to Him in prayer.
Sounds like you did a fabulous job. God is great.
ohhhh, is that what Sammy told you he did? The cat “walk about”?Yes, all the while Sammy went “walk about” we prayed for his safe return, but always realizing he was in God’s hands no matter what the outcome might be.
Hope he learned there’s no place like home.
Reminds me of my cat wally (she lived to be 17 and was even a part of the divorce decree just like a person.Go figure). She wasn’t “allowed” into the house but my sisters and i snuck her in ever night. One night when we weren’t home i guess she got in by herself. Well my dad and step-mom decided to watch “Pet Cemetery”. In the middle of the night wally got into their room and since she was use to sleep on a person she decided to sleep on my step-mom. Lets just say that waking up to a cat looking at you after watching that movie was not fun. Dad said she screamed quite loud.Years back, some kids joy-riding deliberately swerved and killed a cat in front of our house. Everyone agreed that it was our cat, though CSI was not called in. I was told the sad tale when I got home from work.
I was alone in the house about 9pm when our cat awoke from wherever he had been sleeping for the day and strolled out to the kitchen to ask about supper. That was a rather startling moment.
That is eerie. do-do do-do do-do do-do…Years back, some kids joy-riding deliberately swerved and killed a cat in front of our house. Everyone agreed that it was our cat, though CSI was not called in. I was told the sad tale when I got home from work.

It’s funny you relating this story because we had often called Sammy our “ghost cat” because he would come and go so silently through the house we hardly noticed if he was there or not. But when he didn’t come home the first night we knew he was gone then.
**About the names we have for him besides his given name, wasn’t it T. S. Eliot who wrote that every cat as at least three names? I guess it’s true, isn’t it?/**quote]
That is TOO funny! All 5 of my cats have a gazillion different names - which they come to. LOL, the only time I call them by their real name is when they’re being fresh.People think I’m crazy because they all have middle names, too.

People think I’m crazy because they all have middle names, too. but I and the kids sure would! I am sorry.
The sole function of middle names is to allow parents to more effectively yell at their children, didn’t you know?LOL, the only time I call them by their real name is when they’re being fresh.
uch:You haven’t read the good news, then. Our Sammy came back last night. But thanks for your thoughtfulness and prayers, which are never wasted!I’m sorry Della…I will say a prayer for you and your cat to hopefully return home. We have had a cat for the past five years, and we would be sad too if he disappeared. My husband might not be
