Just a little while ago, a very kind woman pulled up in her car, and guess who she had with her? My missing kitty Ophelia!
The lady, Debbie, found Ophelia about six or seven blocks away from home, playing with a group of boys. That’s about half-a-mile from home and close to the woods that I searched for hours several times over the weekend.
I wonder if Ophelia has been outside the whole six days and nights that she has been missing? It’s been rainy, then bitterly cold and snowy. But she has a very dense coat.
She still seems quite plump, so I wonder if someone has been feeding her? By the way, the photo at the top is of another tortoiseshell cat–Ophelia is much more round! 🙂 The only attribution for the above photo is “Parade.”
But she is very tired. And thirsty.
After drinking from the forbidden water glass on my nightstand, which I let her do since I promised myself that if I got her back i would never stop her from doing so again (I’ll just wash it a lot!), she curled up in the middle of the bed holding onto my hand and fell asleep. Her little paws were twitching.
I wonder if she is dreaming about her adventures? I wonder what they were?
OH MY GOODNESS! I wish you could see the smile on my face!! Yay!! I’m so glad to hear this. Samantha and I are simply jumping for joy right now (and I’m also letting out a sigh of relief). Hugs to both of you!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Love and licks,
puppydoc and samantha

Yaay! She’s back from her adventures! They say cats dream about their favorite activities, which includes hunting and stalking, so the paws could be twitching because of that!

Thank you, Janet! 🙂 I must admit that on that 6th day that she had been missing, I had given up hope that I would ever see her again even though people told me stories of cats that came home after weeks, months and even years of being missing.
Truthfully, I don’t know how I would have held up if a stranger had not spotted her, seen a flyer, and brought her home! It still gives me pause when I think of her having been outside in the below-freezing, snowy, windy, weather, and with coyotes in the neighborhood that prey on cats. Ophelia is a lucky kitty girl! 🙂
