The Cat Came Back!

[enduringplum]

This evening, Kira just reappeared. My dad called to say he thought he saw her outside as he was driving off, so I went to have a look while trying to convince myself it was just the orange tabby stray in the neighborhood (so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it really was just the stray). I didn't see her, so I called for her and she came running, meowing like she was trying to tell me all about it and just generally seeming a little freaked out. She was dirtier than usual and a bit thinner, but otherwise looked alright, so I'm not sure where she was or what she was doing; I still tend to think one of my neighbors was keeping her inside, because I've had that happen with several of my cats.

I'm going to keep her inside until I can get her a new collar and name tag and I'm going to make an appointment to have her and Musashi, my Siamese, micro-chipped. Our black cat, Sterling, is already micro-chipped and it really makes me feel better, although he's never disappeared on us.

I spent all day calling around to different animal hospitals, wandering the neighborhood calling for her, and paying a vist to our local SPCA; tomorrow I will have to give them a call to let them know she found her way home. They had a lot of orange cats that had been picked up recently, but none of them looked even remotely like my Kira Cat. I can't tell you how relieved I am that she's home with us again; I honestly have not slept since the day after Thanksgiving, when I noticed she'd been gone for an unusually long time. Now, she's sleeping next to me on our computer desk, purring to herself the way she always does.

It's good to have Missy K back!

Yay, what a relief.
