Title: Blackie is out!!! Now in....
Post by: Bazsmum on August 18, 2009, 13:32:38 PM
Let the cats out the back door this morning (as usual) into the yard (which is cat-proofed). An hour or so later I found the back gate was opened and all my cats bar one were in next door's garden... The "bar one" is Blackie my ex feral!!!  :scared:

I have no clue where he is as he isnt a cat that would approach you..... I know there is no chance of me seeing him in daylight and Im just hoping and praying that he comes home when it gets dark!  :wish:

Please send your vibes for him to return as I think this is gonna be a hard one to catch!  :( ;D

Thanks Kitty... I am keeping my spirits up today as I know I will not see him at all in daylight... Behind our house is a derelict house that a cat could get into and Im just praying he is there!  :sneaky:  :hug:

Will he come out for you at night? If you take torches out etc will he come out?

Everything crossed you soon have Blackie back with you Ruth - like you say he's probably just in the house behind yours.   

Hopefully he'll be back when he wants dinner  :hug:

No!  :(

Im gonna leave a few cats inside tonight and have the back gate open and the cat flap on "in" only and finger's crossed it will work!  :Crazy:

I will keep shouting him though as he will respond to my voice.... he wont come to me but he will pass me in a hurry so if I sit out (visions of myself sat soaking wet now!  :tired:) and call him later on this just may do the trick!  :sneaky:

Thanks Jane!  :Luv: :hug:

Thanks for all the vibes guys... I am feeling quite positive and I dont know why?  :shify: Could have something to do with all these wonderful vibes!  :thankyou:



I wont go look for him yet as I said cc but thanks for the offer of help.... Oo! I suppose if I were to look for him you could save me a good scratching!  :naughty: :evillaugh: :hug: :hug:

Hope he's back soon - when he's hungry hopefully?  :hug:

The gate to the front of my house somehow got open (maybe I did it, I don't really remember!) but, that would have meant it would have been left open all afternoon - none of mine had even noticed   :shocked:

It was the OH that noticed (I am now suspecting that Mr Magoo had left it open) as he had been working out the back!  :shify: ...and it went from all the cats to only 3!  :shocked: He is such a drama queen!  :rofl:

Hopefully Blackie has been with me long enough (coming up to 3 yrs) he should know what to do, especially being rescued in the first place from living feral on a housing estate.... I must give him credit and keep my hopes high! Im also thinking of Trigger's Tosker!  ;) :Luv: :hug:

I expect Blackie will want to take full advantage of his unexpected freedom, but I'm sure the novelty will wear off when he gets hungry :sneaky:

Well the good news is "Ive seen him" the bad news is he wont come in!  :tired: He has sniffed by my open gate, he has even came out of the derelict house at the back when I called him, ate some grass had a pee then went back in!  :Crazy:

Ive put his blankie just inside the gate so he gets a good whiff and some food near the back door to try and encourage him in the flap!  :shocked:

The main thing is I know he is ok so Im gonna go to bed soon cos I is proper shattered!  :yawn 2:

Thanks again folks for all the well wishes and vibes!  :Luv: :hug:

Post by: Bazsmum on August 20, 2009, 13:03:08 PM
Thanks again peeps!

Yes Gilly it is lovely when they have friends and Gizzy is Blackie's special friend.... Every morning when he see's him he "brrr's" and runs over to him and starts rolling on the ground!  :Luv2:

CC came over yesterday and went round to the empty house and Blackie came out of the hole in daylight and sat looking at her!  :shify: I have to say he has lost his feral like way as he was not as hidey as I imagined him to be.... Oscar was worse when he did one!  :evillaugh:

I took some tuna high life in a pouch round to the hole and put approx a spoonful on the brick, to which I watched him pop his head out and eat, once I knew I had his full attention I brought Gizzy, I kept putting a blob of tuna towards the back gate... I then went and got Gizzy and da birdy, so I basically got Gizzy to follow me and da birdy and Blackie just followed too!  :sneaky:

So I also think da birdy helped!  :evillaugh: :Luv: :hug:
