Just this evening at supper, Mr. FixIt asked if she could have gone in the cellar house when I was rummaging around in there last week! We made a beeline back to the farm but she wasn’t in there. No other buildings are open. She doesn’t wear a collar that could get hooked on something. We checked up and down the creek bank, up behind and under the barn and shed and in the ditches along the road. No sign at all. She just went away. ?

I think they know when it’s their time to go. My son lives out in the country and had a black lab that lived to the very ripe old age of 22. One day they let him out to do his business and he just disappeared. They searched for days with no luck. We all think he simply went out in the desert to die and spare them the ordeal of witnessing his passing.

One night he wanted to stay in on the porch, but I wanted to shut the pet door because it was cold and he had outside options (2 outbuildings) he usually stayed out. He seemed afraid, but I didn’t have a litter box or a cat shelter, it was just an outside porch and he had never stayed in on it before, so I figured he would be fine in one of his usual spots, and made him go out and shut the door. I could see nothing to be afraid of. I never saw him after that night, he must have sensed some predator I did not that was lurking somewhere around us. People think living in the country is idyllic but you often end up dealing with death more than in the city. We had a few animals die while we lived there over 17 yrs. An ancient miniature horse, some ducks, chickens, even two goats that I got that had something wrong with them and died so fast I didn’t even have time to call a vet-they were okay, then they were dead hours later when we got up. It’s hard.

After finding my cat trapped in the compartment of my motorhome three days after her not coming home and spreading fliers all thru the neighborhood, I have to ask…I do feel your pain because we did lose a 16 yrs old limping cat this past spring to coyotes. She was a great huntress and Tiger Lily wanted to be outside all the time!

The boy cats usually show back up & the mama cats don’t usually stay gone too long but the old ones sometimes just go away to die. Dogs will do the same thing. Of course there’s the possibility that another critter has attacked her & she’s not able to get back home. I’ve had that to happen to quite a few….some made it back home to die but some didn’t. I’ve sworn that I’ll not have anymore pets but somehow a neighborhood cat with kittens has taken up part time residence here!❤️
