ReikiAnge Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 That's really, really fab news Kathy, I'm so pleased for you all I wonder if he's been shut/stuck somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyM Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 That's the only thing I can think of What's odd is the time he's been gone though - he must've got trapped a while after going missing, as our old cat Fiver was trapped for 3 weeks and nearly died, and he was a cat that was used to fending for himself if necessary. This is utterly mad! I'm in shock. Anyway, I have to get back to him, but I wanted to say a huuuuuge thankyou to everyone who supported us through this.

chasta Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Fantastic news Kathy Welcome home Dodge Oooh Im all teary now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyM Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thank you all so much!! He has perked up a bit since he came home. He's incredibly thin and pale, and I suspect he's been quite dehydrated. His miaow is very quiet and dry, but it picked up through the night when he was wandering round mooing for more food. His back legs are quite wibbly (they're lanky and skinny) but he managed to jump on the bed this morning for a love. No obvious injuries, but his nails are quite worn down. Normally alarm bells would ring for RTA with that, but there's no other signs and I imagine he's been trapped somewhere and trying to claw his way out. The other two seem completely bewildered, but Grace hasn't left his side since he got back! This thread can be locked now and I'll give updates on RMF or in the CAOA bit. Thanks again, all of you! Oh hang on, it;s in Reunited LOL - doesn't need locking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Liz Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 So glad the boy is home, and that his Mum never really gave up hope even if she typed it her heart said other things. Now he just needs a good once over and lots of spoiling and a bat from the girls and all will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslass Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thank you all so much!! He has perked up a bit since he came home.

Normally alarm bells would ring for RTA with that, but there's no other signs and I imagine he's been trapped somewhere and trying to claw his way out. When my Dylan came home after 7 weeks, Kathy, he had lost a third of his body weight, apparently, and he probably did hunt, so goodness knows what your Dodge must be like, poor little thing. Just keep an eye on him for a few days (as if you wouldn't - what am I saying?? ) - Dylan had a couple of odd episodes in the first week home; he'd fall over on to his side and lie there, dazed...but the vet checked him again and couldn't find anything wrong. He's been fine since, but it was scary at the time. I assume it was just his poor body getting used to food again. Give him a big cuddle from me. Believe me, I know how you feel. Liz.

KathyM Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Thank you all so much Liz - you've got it spot on there, I don't think anyone *really* gives up hoping, even if they believe they're unrealistic in doing so (as I did). I had a strong feeling we wouldn't find him when we were out looking and in that respect I suppose we were right, because he found *us* I love him so much I very much still hoped he would come back (although I didn't *expect* it). Other Liz (lol) - he really is very very thin, but not ill with it thank God. He is a bit wobbly on his back end, but he managede to jump up into bed for a snuggle. He's doing a fair bit better this evening too, his full "moo" has come back. It's been all go here! Edited March 17, 2007 by KathyM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Kathy, absolutely delighted he's home, wonderful news. Mac was away 5 weeks when he went missing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
