Oh Where, Oh Where Has Our Callie Cat Gone?

Oh where, oh where can she be?

Our beloved Callie is missing. I am heartbroken. We have searched the entire house over and over, shaking the treat bag as we go and calling her name. We have searched her favorite hiding spots and places she could be trapped. All the cabinet and closet doors are open. All day she has not come out for food or to use the box.

All we can assume is that she slipped past us as we were coming and going and got outside. We are not sure when — sometime between 8 pm last night (5/14) and 10 am today (5/15). We live in the country — there are predators and other dangers for a rather spoiled and protected house cat to face.

We have contacted the agency we registered her microchip with and they sent out an alert. I printed out a poster they created for us and have several of those out. We called our Vet and visited the local shelter. Our neighbors are looking for her. We have pretty much done all we can for now.

I am sensing nothing from her. Neither is Bob.

If you live in the Grove OK/Grand Lake area please keep your eyes out for our cute little calico with white paws and a white tummy.

UPDATE: Callie was found early Sunday morning (5/17) and is now recovering at home. For more details see https://espirational.com/2015/05/17/callie-cat-is-home/
