Well, it's been a fortnight since Muzzy left us and we've now given up hope of him coming back...he'd never been out longer than three hours before.
House feels oddly empty now, I'm really missing him coming and snuggling up to Len and I while she's feeding...His purr always sent her straight off to sleep, he used to sit on my bump and purr while I was pregnant. The dog is a bit lost too, no one to play with! At least, no one who can keep up with him anyway...
It's partly because of the cat, partly the fact that all my pre-baby friends have vanished into the ether but I am feeling increasingly isolated. I tried a couple of different Mum and baby groups, but all the local ones seem to enjoy ramming God down the throats of babies who can't even talk yet. Gods, this makes me sound really quite sad and pathetic....not my intention!
Have been on housework marathons lately...it's disturbing....I made plum crumble for dessert this evening earlier, the housework thing is mainly because I have Len in a sling and housework makes her go to sleep!
ARGH! Not making much sense, just feeling lonely really...

Aww I am sorry to hear this. It is a long time, but cats sometimes move out when they decide something isn't quite right, or are otherwise just feel like wandering, and it may not be the accident that you fear. I used to have a wonderful cat I adopted from a friend, a most eccentric Burmese tortoiseshell cross ... when she was about 12 she disappeared from my friend's house. Two months or more passed and she was given up as lost, but one fine day she suddenly was there in the garden, a little thinner, rather cross and scratchy for a while, but back. So don't give up hope. C to join the laughter, sharing simple shreds of feeling |

My cat (kitten as she was then) went missing for six weeks - think she wandered away then couldn't find her way back. We printed off some leaflets on the puter...posted them through local doors and a couple of weeks later got a call from someone who had spotted her after having read the leaflet. So what i'm trying to say is don't give up! tigerlili The only ones who fail are those who do not try. |

Mine recently went missing - not because he wandered off, but because he escaped on a trip to the vet's. Three months later, someone saw a poster we'd left in a local shop, and phoned up to say they'd been feeding him for a couple of weeks.

I know how you feel on the lonely bit hun, I went through this too. All my friends that had said 'oh I'll still come to see you' all disppeared my dollys two now and most have only seen her a small number number of time and thats with me walking about not them coming to see me. It'll take a lil while but you'll learn you work around it, find new baby friendly friends that will suprise you. But sadly its the curse of the new mummy..

Sending hugs your way, don't really know what housework is though!! My cat Dan was missing for 2 weeks and just turned up one day. I expect you've done the usual, got in touch with all the relevant agencies and lost cat register, put posters up and through peoples doors. I found 2 cats and reunited them with their families, one had been missing 9 weeks and the other one a year!!! So don't give up hope.....xx She's so pure, Moses could'nt even part her knees.....Joan Rivers on Marie Osmond. |

I haven't been blessed with children, but maybe you need to find another new mum ... shame about the bible bashers, perhaps try other places where mums congregate. You need a friend at least as much as you need a cat ... to join the laughter, sharing simple shreds of feeling |
