"...Take another little piece of my heart..."

My cat, Mischief, is gone. Our son who was pet/house-sitting while we were away remembers seeing her sometime around mid-week. We've been home since Saturday evening and there's been no sign of her. Mischief was not a wanderer. To our knowledge if she wasn't in our yard she was up in a nearby tree. If you didn't see her one minute she'd surely saunter up the next.

One year...

Mischief has been with us for one year. Now she's gone. We went to the Humane Society where I was certain we would find her - but we didn't.

Funny, the timing - the neighbor's dogs kill my kittens - Animal Control comes out and issues warnings - we go away only to come home and find our cat is gone. So, in the 4 months since this neighbor came to my door with the message that her dog would kill my cat, we've unexplainably lost 2 devoted cats in addition to the 4 helpless, 10-day old kittens. That's some run of bad luck.

We miss you, Mischief.

Sonya, I'm really sorry to hear about Mischief. However, be the better person and just "turn your check". I know easier said than done. You know in your heart who did this but there is nothing to prove otherwise. I know you all are devastated. Another kitten will solve the problem!

Call and let's arrange lunch once Darell gets home from school to sit with the kids.
