Yesterday Neko was a good girl, blue all day.

8/8 Recap:
AMPS 115 +6 182 +9 123
PMPS 133 +3 168 +9 109

No PJ part last night like Elise mentioned, but instead it was Theo that kept us up late. He escaped outside last night. He's semi-feral, I saw him several times but he kept on running. He did this once last year and we managed to herd him inside. Not this time. He's still missing - any spare "come home" vines are appreciated. Sorry Neko, a condo hijack.

Poor Neko got consigned to the back bedroom so we could keep the house doors open for Theo in case he wanted in, but at the same time keep Neko inside overnight. I put her memory foam bed there so she was happy enough until just before breakfast. First thing this morning she was out helping me look for him. Well, maybe it meant finding a blade of grass or two. I'm hoping that seeing/hearing her will draw him back. He hasn't eaten this AM but if I leave food out for him, Neko will probably get it. I don't think she's missed having him around. :roll:

The beans best laid plans have been disrupted. We had to skip rowing - lack of sleep. I might have to cancel seeing my parents. Theo's kind of a one person cat and that person is me. DH won't be able to lure him when he's outside. He's such a different cat outside than inside.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Oh, Wendy, I am not happy to hear this news! I hope Theo will get sensible and get himself home. Does he know where he is when he is outside? Stu used to get out and go roaming. Once we looked for him for hours, shaking a bowl of kibble. He finally sauntered out from inside a bush 10 feet from the back door, where he had been all along. I hope for a similar resolution to Theo's adventure. Come-home vines for him!

Neko, make sure your brother gets home, OK? And don't eat all his fuds!

Hugs, scritches,

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

oh wendy, i hope theo comes to his senses and comes home soon. that's so worrisome.

i know what you mean about him being different inside than outside. we turned punkin and felix into indoor kitties, 90% because punkin also reverted to being a street cat when he went out. He went on high alert outside, and when he came inside, it would take him a several hours to begin to relax again. He exuded anxiety after he came back in. we restricted him before he became diabetic, but when that happened it was even more important.

the last 10% was because he was too effective at catching birds and he'd leave them on the front porch as presents. :roll:

sending "come home" vines to mr theo! i hope your day gets back to some degree of normal. :YMHUG:
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Oh no :sad:

Have you tried popping a can of food open outside? If he is withing ear shot and hears the 'pop' he may come running.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

adding our Come Home vines....

and let's make it quickly Theo.....



my fatherinlaw's cat was "accidentally" let out and it took 2 weeks for him to find his way home..... but they do figure it out.... ( this cat had never been outside)
Theo at least has experience and it's so much easier to be fed.....
Come Home Theo....
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Oh no Wendy, how horrible - so you have been up all night searching? nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile :cry: Sending tons and tons of "Come Home Now Theo" vines!!! I had this happen when Tiger first came to live with us, DH felt sorry for her and would let her out :-x until I finally got it through his thick head to quit it!

I hope you don't have to miss your parent's special anniversary party, congrats to them! But I sure hope Theo comes home SOON!!! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

In the meantime, thanks for answering my question re:acro/IAA; it is a question that is in the back of my mind for Tiger. And also, since this is actually Neko's condo, good girl Neko, stay surfing safely for Momma Bean until Theo comes home! You hear that Theo? - C'mon Home!!
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Awwww Theo, come home mommabean misses you!!

Sending lots of come home vines to Theo
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Oh, Wendy, so sorry Theo's out and about. Lots of come home vines from here.

Does he know how to a) get home, b) get in once he's near? I once left a trail of dirty socks for a wandering escapee to follow to the yard. And once scattered pungent litter as a this-way-home trail marker.

Most often, although EDID, an escaped fearful cat will hunker close to home. Under bushes, under cars. Up a tree. Of course, maybe he's just out exploring and will saunter home in his own good time.

So from here to there: GET THEE HOME, THEO!!!

Sending COME HOME NOW THEO!!! vines your way Wendy.

:YMHUG:
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Hi Wendy,
I'm sending lots of come home vines to Theo. I hope he makes his way back soon!! Good luck searching today. Keep us posted.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Hi Wendy,

I will say a prayer that God will lead Theo back home. Do you have any hiding spots? When I lost a cat, she would hide under our porch. I also called their name and put out food near our steps.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Oh no! come home dear Theo..hopefully he is close by and will come back soon. My brothers kitty went missing for over a week and he found him in a neighbors garage that he got trapped in when they left for a short trip. Sending come home vines to theo..
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 - civie missing :(

Sending lots of come-home-safely vines for Theo. Come on, Neko...call him back home. You know you miss him and your life isn't complete without him. Holler at him so that he comes home. Good luck, Wendy!
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

Thank you so much everyone for your vines and prayers. :-D A short while ago DH went outside to start working on a rowing shell and yelled at me upstairs - "bring Theo's food". I quickly rushed downstairs with breakfast - thank goodness it was kangaroo his favorite. He was hanging around the bushes at the front of the house. Originally I called him but that made him more skittish so I just stayed quiet. Then I got DH to get a ceramic food bowl, spoon, and can of the good stuff. Not sure what did it, but he got over his fear and approached. Then sauntered in the side door without eating. :roll: We quickly closed the open doors. Other than being famished, he's not acting any different. Last time he was out a year ago (for 3-4 hours not overnight) he hid under the bed for a while. This time he was rubbing on DH's knee, rolling and exposing his tummy and now he's giving himself a very satisfied bath. Even Neko had to sniff him the once over and normally she could care less about him. Maybe she really does care just a tiny bit. :lol: I went to do that +3 test, shaking the treats bag and Theo came running. I can't count how long I was shaking that bag outside last night and this morning with no sign of him. :roll: I also had his litter box outside so he could smell "home". And I'd just pressed Print on the Lost Cat poster when he showed up. :lol:

Anyway, back to Neko, she's given me a permission slip, along with Theo, and I can still make the ferry and be up on the island for lunch.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

Thank goodness Theo came to his senses and came home!!!

Glad you are still able to make it out to the ferry on time!
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

And because of Theo, I was the first in line to not make the ferry. :roll: So I'm cooling my heels in a park by the bay, with wireless. As I told our rowing coach, he is so grounded - no late night TV for a week! :lol: Oh well, I'll get there in a couple of hours. There are worse places to hangout.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

I'm so glad Theo is safely back home. How scary. I'm glad you get to visit your parents today. Happy Anniversary to them.
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

I'm glad he didn't stay out any longer....

I'm sure Neko will whack him once or twice while you are out.... :lol:

Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

Just seeing this but I am SO HAPPY Theo is back and you can still get over to see your parents.

Have a great time!!!
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 -+3 242 - Theo's back!

Enjoy your visit with your parents and try to make it to the head of the "go" line on the way back!

Good boy, Theo! Good girl, Neko!!

Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 +3 242 +9 142 - Theo's back!

Hi Wendy ~O)

I hoe you enjoyed the visit with your parents. Sounds like a good time, and I hope you are also enjoying/having the great weather we have.

I am SO GLAD that Theo is home. Always such a worry when they take off like that. I can remember once when Elsa was gone for 6 days. Not fun, whether it is 6 hours or 6 days. I am glad Theo is no worse for wear either.

Enjoy your evening!
 
Re: 8/9 Neko AMPS 141 +3 242 +9 142 - Theo's back!

Oh thank goodness Theo is Back!!!! (naughty boy!!) :-D :-D Don't you just hate when you are the cut off for the "Next" ferry!!! :roll: (been there, done that :roll: ) But I am so glad you were able to make it for your folk's special anniversary, how awesome is that! And Neko was such a good girl, I hope you are having a wonderful time tonight!
 
+9 142 PMPS 137
Neko did a nice safe day - easy for DH to take handle. cat_pet_icon The brat, aka Theo, is safely ensconced purring in my lap. Needless to say we'll be keeping an eagle eye on him the next little while. He is so black and white/Jekyl and Hyde when it comes to indoors and outdoor. And not street wise at all. Neko on the other hand, does have outdoor privileges cause she's such a good girl. Doesn't hurt that she's food motivated. When I was going around the yard this morning shaking the treat bag, she was happily following me around. :lol:

The time on the island was good. Missed lunch over there but I did take over some supplies. DF was thrilled to see the blueberry muffins and fresh cherries. DM was checking out the local peaches. I also took DM down to her beloved garden which she's been missing. She can get around by a cane for a bit now. I did a little work around the tomatoes and we found that the CSA people have not been diligently picking the zucchinis. :shock: I might have to go up again when I can spend some serious time in the garden. And I did get more blackberries today. :-D

Thanks all for visiting today - I'm wiped. We did not get much sleep last night so I'm hoping Neko will let us hit the pillow early.
 
I bet you are exhausted after looking for Theo .....and just not being able to sleep for worry.

I'm so glad your mom is moving around with a cane. I bet she will enjoy the fresh produce.

Hope Ms. Neko lets you sleep tonight.
 
I'm just no reading your condo Sunday morning. I'm glad Theo returned and that you made it for your parents' special day. By today you must be exhausted. I'm glad your mom is doing better. When my mom had the same injury she wouldn't use a walker or cane. She was just as stubborn so many years ago as now, lol. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday!
 
Oh thank goodness! I'm so happy that Theo is home and behaving himself!!! Glad you got to spend time with DF and DM and glad Neko had a good day, too. Hope you were able to catch up on your sleep.
