STRESSFUL WEEKEND

Yesterday afternoon Blue was nowhere to be seen when it came time to feed him and we realised we had not seen him since breakfast. He often curls up somewhere snug so we had not really noticed he was not about.  

We checked around our section many times and contacted a few neighbours and were really worried as it not like him to miss a meal.




This morning there was still no sign of him so I found this photo taken a few weeks ago, edited out the grandson he was sitting next to,  and put it up on Facebook as well as making a flyer.  I then visited a few of our neighbours as we thought he must be locked in somewhere.    I nearly didn't go to a house a couple down from us as they don't have a shed or garage but went anyway.  He hadn't seen Blue but while we were talking we heard a plaintiff meow.  Blue was under the wooden deck.  We searched for a way into the space and decided a plank would have to be removed. I went to get Doug to come and remove it but by the time we got back it was already removed. We could see Blue in the distance.  It took a few minutes before he came out and then he just shot off home.  

He was hungry and thirsty as he must have been in there for about 24 hours and is staying close to home.

What a relief.
