I apologize in advance for this depressing post. I don’t know why I’m writing this, but I just don’t know how else to let this out.
Late Monday night, after I had already gone to sleep, my fiancée opened our front door to bring in some things from her car. My year-and-half old indoor cat slipped out without her even noticing. I went to feed her and my second cat the next morning, but she was nowhere to be found. It was very unlike her to miss any kind of feeding. I immediately knew something was up.
I woke up my fiancée, and started tearing apart my apartment. She wasn’t in any of her normal hiding places. We then started searching our throughout our giant apartment complex. We have been searching ever since.
Since she went missing we have bought three humane cat traps, bought a live feed camera for the front door, have put food out, and have searched periodically throughout the day and the entire night. Nothing has worked. We have caught three cats, and have attracted eleven to our door with food. Not a single one has been mine.
Ever since I got this cat, her and I have been inseparable. She follows me everywhere, sleeps with me every night, and laughably spilled scorching hot coffee all over me and my equipment a week into working from home during quarantine. This was after she got way too excited for pets. Simply put, I have never had such a strong connection with an animal.
I am beyond discouraged - I am at a point of devastation. Normally, I am not an emotional person at all. Before the purchase of these two cats (we bought her and her brother at the same time as a bonded pair) I was never even a cat person. Now I can’t eat, I have barely slept (maybe four hours in the past three days), and nothing I have done has made any difference.
I’m trying to stay strong for my fiancée, but I’m growing more and more pessimistic with each passing day and each unsuccessful search. It is a feeling of hopelessness I’ve never experienced. Like I said, I apologize for this depressing of a post, but I just needed to get this out.
