Old Tiger never showed up yesterday. I haven't seen him since day before yesterday, I'm worried

It rained all afternoon and into the night. And I had to chase the neighbors orange cat off my porch once. It’s not really cold, still I am always worried that he is trapped somewhere.

I sometimes think it's a weather thing.

Spooky disappeared for several months, this Summer, and she still disappears for days at a time so I'm not too concerned. She's so healthy and beautiful, I'm sure she's getting fed elsewhere, too. Finally, the one who looks like a grey version of Arthur showed up for yesterday's breakfast but not dinner. I haven't seen Pembroke and Snowdon's mom for a couple of weeks.

I wish they knew how much worry they cause us.

Positive vibes are on you way, from me and ALL of the kidcats.

He polished off about 2 1/2 cans of fancy feast. Then that night I had to chase a stupid neighbors orange cat off my porch and it rained pretty hard last night so he’s either being intimidated by a cat or waiting for the tunnel out of his little hidey hole to dry out. I don’t know I just hope he’s OK and you’re right, worrying doesn’t do anything. But I can’t help it. Thanks for your concern

7. The first thing I do when I walk on to the enclosed porch is do a head count

Top priority is to make sure Bronwyn and Rhian are present and accounted for.

It can be tricky because within seconds I'm being swarmed by a swarm of furry and very hungry kitten sharks.

I do sleep better, knowing they have all adapted to the porch so I know they are safe from any wandering predators. I've been looking up on how to tell the difference between dog and coyote prints. I know some have been sighted in the county

There is so much to worry about when our kits are loose in the outside world.

you, so of course you worry, especially with his age, and the weather. You are a loving and caring person.
