Oh no! (((hugs))) I hope he found some nice people, but gets tired of them soon and comes home.No... Kitty is still gone. I've pretty much just given up hope.

But now there are a couple of men who are great friends, but who cannot reisit teasing and prodding and otherwise getting the doggie I've worked my ass off to get trained so she won't snap at people, un-done. I need to know how to train my friends!
I like that idea. It works on puppies.Have you tried biting these men?
I like that idea. It works on puppies.
Is there something wrong with people? Seriously, everyone I know knows I've been trying (and succeeding!) in training my dog not to be aggressive. Much as I love them, some visitors just cannot resist teasing her, poking her, etc. WhenI was around my own family, it was tough enough (different dogs, different location). But now there are a couple of men who are great friends, but who cannot reisit teasing and prodding and otherwise getting the doggie I've worked my ass off to get trained so she won't snap at people, un-done. I don't need to know how to train my dog at this point, I need to know how to train my friends! Somehow I think that if I had a mastiff, no one would bother him. By some men (I'm sorry, no women have done this) consider a small dog to be something to tease and terrorize.
Oh, by the way, I have, on occasion, been known to tell men teasing my dog to take it outside).

OK, I'm tired and frustrated. Naw, not really. But Rosebud had her second seizure. We've had her for 18 mos or so. My husband found her spazzing out and picked her up and gave her to me (a real good reason to have smaller dogs). I babied her out of the attack. Because she had an attack once before, I just stopped and talked to my vet. Seems I lucked out and got another dog with epileptic tendencies. My husband swears he is never getting another dog. The fact is that he is the one who adopted Rosebud, not me. On top of it, guess who she wakes up in the middle of the night ... obviously, me. Well, it is O'Dark thirty, a load of laundry is done, Rosebud went outside and came back in, got a snack, and went back to bed. I on the other hand, am here writing. Bleah. Did get a couple of columns done. And I will stretch out the effing leg.
Addie said:Skittle I hope it is your kitty. But if it turns out not to be your kitty, are you willing to take him in? Sounds like an abandoned cat if it isn't yours. In need of a good home.
That's a good thought. If it's not my kitty, and the cat is friendly (as in, able to be caught), I will certainly take him/her in and make some found kitty posters. I'm glad you suggested that.
