Prayers needed for lost kitty

[NightRider]

MaggieOH:

Geraldine,

:crying: I know the pain of losing a more mature cat. I almost forget about Garfield these days. He was a ginger tom and I got him from someone at work. He had some interesting habits and he loved roast lamb.

When we moved to Sydney my husband took him in the car and did not follow my advice about releasing this poor cat who did not like travelling too much. He was let free and he disappeared :crying:. Not even the smell of roast lamb could bring him back home.

I hope your kitty really is safe and is just sitting around frightened somewhere.

Maggie

Dear Maggie,

That had to be really hard losing your Garfield during your move. I bet your husband just forgot about how skittish he was about travelling in the car. My kitties are brothers, Frankie and Rufus, and they have moved with me four times now, but each time is very difficult for them. The last time was a year and a half ago and Frankie disappeared at our old place all day long and I couldn’t get him to come back–he had been very frightened by all the commotion. I should have taken him to the new place first and shut him in one of the rooms. But he came back that evening, as I waited patiently in my old apartment, and he and Rufie adjusted well in our new place, probably because they stayed inside for a good three weeks before I let them outside again. Moving is really scary for kitties. And that is why I am so baffled about Frankie’s disappearance–there has been no commotion at my place, but there was heavy equipment operating for a few days in the field next to us, and that very well could be what frightened him…so tomorrow, more searching around. I sure hope he really is just hiding somewhere, too, Maggie. I really do! Thanks again for your kind words. Many blessings,

Geraldine

Oh my dear, it is hard when your fur-baby is missing. My prayers are certainly with you and your baby. I pray yours will return soon, mine took 8 months to get back home (the little twirp!) My heart aches in sympathy…

 

[Madaglan]

Yeah, I’ll pray.

A few years ago my indoor cat, Merlyn, escaped outside. He was gone for 7 days, and it rained every day during that time. We thought he was lost for good, since he was an indoor cat who had always wanted to escape from us. But a week after he escaped our next-door neighbor saw him walking along her yard, and she captured him and brought him back to us. He was a bit shaken and so forth, but he’s still alive to this day.

Geraldine,

I’ll be praying for you and for Frankie’s safe return. I will pray to Sts. Anthony and Francis, as well as say a rosary before Mass this evening.

I have four cats now - Rosalind, Amelia, Oscar, and one-eyed, half bald Meeko. They’re the closest family I have right now, as my nearest relative is 3,000 miles away. I’d be devastated if any of them disappeared.

Hello, kappydell,

Thank you for your prayers for us. I’m wondering how your kitty came to be missing for 8 months?? Wow, and returned, too! That sounds like a miracle to me! Many blessings,

Hi Madaglan,

Thank you for your prayers. I find your words very helpful in that they are very hopeful, and that is exactly what I need right now! Your kitty’s story is amazing and I am so happy he is still alive and still with you. Let’s pray that my kitty is doing a similar thing as yours did! God bless you, friend!

We had a bit of a Miracle in a return cat several years ago. We thought we found our friends kitty but it was dead. So, we buried it with all due pomp and circumstance. But when we walked back to the house, there was Mary’s Cat sitting on the doorstep.

Keep hoping! Miracles happen.

Hello, Dr Jill,

Thank you so much for your prayers and the Rosary. Every prayer helps so much. I know what you mean about your kitties being the closest family you have right now–that is how I feel about my two kitties, who are brothers. The only living relative I have left is my 23 year old son and my two kitties, so yes, I am quite devastated right now about Frankie being missing. God bless you, friend!

Hi Marie,

This story is so wonderful! It gives me much hope, and that is what I am sorely in need of right now. Many blessings, Marie!

Hi Rosadel,

Thank you so much for your prayers. Everyone’s prayers help so much and mean so much to me. And by the way, your name is lovely! Many blessings, dear.

Thanks offtopic, but “Rosadel” was originally my maternal grandmother’s name, forged from a compromise from her family because part of the family wanted to name her “Rose” and the other part wanted to name her “Adel”. Though spelled Rosadel, it’s pronounced Rose-Adel.

To keep this on topic, I have one cat, Stuart at home. He is white with grey patches.

Laurel,

Thank you so much. I’ve had a pretty rough day missing Frankie. I looked all over again today and went to some more neighbors to see if anyone has seen him and no one has. I even hiked way up into the forest behind my closest neighbors’ home and there was no sign of him up there either. I am at a loss and just have to keep telling myself that Frankie is in God’s hands. (easier said than done) but do I must. I always said I wouldn’t know what I’d do without him and now I know. :crying: and

God bless you, Laurel,

Geraldine

NightRider,

Your cat is in my prayers. I have asked for intercession from Sts. Anthony, Francis, and Gertrude of Nivelles (who according to the Catholic.org Saints Index is Patroness of Cats).

Thank you so much, Dr. Colossus, especially for the intercessions. These are some awesome saints! I’ve been praying to them, too, of course. Many blessings to you.

Thank you, dear Rosadel! and yes, it is nice to know St Gertrude of Nivelles is the patron saint for our sweet kitties. Many blessings.

Hi NR,

Sometimes in the winter cats will wander…don’t lose heart…I will join in your prayers for his safe return.

Unless it wandered too close to the Curmudgeon Clubhouse…
