As if we haven't had enough pet drama...Gable's cat has been missing for two days. We haven't seen him since Sunday. Now, a cat being gone for two days isn't the end of the world, but in case you haven't noticed, it's quite cold and our pets usually check in with us several times a day.
We called Hidden Valley's office and left a description and phone number and even visited the pet-finder lady in HVL. Our fear is that he is trapped somewhere and can't get back to us. We have the garage door open enough so that he can get into the garage and then through the cat door back into the warmth of his home.
After walking through all the woods, driving around calling and whistling, and looking in every crack and crevice, the only thing to do is wait.
Our hope is that he comes home after his big old adventure, full of stories of slaying birds and beasts. Our second hope is that some kind soul saw him in the cold and pulled him into their home.
If you feel so inclined, please pray for our sweet little Chad to make his way safely home and back onto Gable's bed. Also, we could use direction as to where to search or what steps to take right now to make use of the few hours of daylight we have left before the cold, cold night.
Thank you.

Hi Melanie,
This is Talitha (Rachel's sister) I'm so sorry your cat is missing. I will continue to pray that he makes his way home.
I also wanted to let you know that a lady I was talking to trying to find a home for your new doggie wants to send you a case of Iams dog food if you want it. She just needs your address and phone number. She owns a kennel and wants to mail it to you. You can either email Rachel or call her with your info and I will get it to her.
Awww...Chad looks like my Dinah. I pray safety, warmth and a return home for your little fuzzy.
Oh NOOOOO!
No more missing pets.
I feel for you. You know I do.
ugh.
If you haven't already, check with the county's humane society/pound. Someone might have seen her outside and thought she was lost and taken her because it's cold.
Thanks Helen and Talitha for your prayers. Chad coming home is pretty important around here right now. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, the pet thing and all, but it's ours and it's important to us.
Thanks again.
Rachel - I think we were posting at the same time!
I knew you'd understand after all you've been through with Savannah. I didn't think to call the animal control around here because I called the Hidden Valley police to check. Thanks for the tip - I will try that tomorrow.
Just prayed for your guys and your missing kitty. We have one that goes outside and I know how scary it is when they go missing. I'll keep praying that he comes home.
I know you must all be freaking out. If it makes you feel any better, cats can do pretty well outside in the winter. Our two cats are indoor cats, but we've had stretches where they've gotten out for a few days and they've always come back fine. I think they've enjoyed it even.
We'll be praying.
yes, i think if i were to lose a pet i would rather it be the cat. they seem to have an instinctual smartness to live in the wild.
