Hi, I'm Adrian and I live in Adelaide, South Australia, I'm 52..
On Friday eafternoon July 23 2010 I had to take my cat Tommy to the vet which is around 2-3 miles away but as I got there somehow he escaped from the cage as I was taking him from the car park to the vet.
He was frightened and ran and jumped a fence and disappeared and I spent hours looking for him.
The very next morning I went back to the area calling for him with no luck..I printed some flyers with his photo and put them everywhere in that area.
I miss him so much and I am so devastated I cannot sleep or eat and it feels like I will never see him again even tho I have done all the things to help him being found like calling the Animal League, lost ads in papers, flyers etc..
He wasn't wearing his collar and isn't microchipped, he is 5 years old and desexed.
As I live alone he is my world. he purrs loudly and is very affectionate..
A valuable lesson for me was to keep his collar on but he hated it so I let him get his way...
I'm sure I feel no different to everyone of you reading this who has also lost a much loved pet but as I live alone I just felt the need to put my feelings out there over the internet to my fellow cat lovers..
Waking up at all hours thru the night with a hollow feeling in my stomach and shedding many tears over worry and negative thinking isn't helping but I try to find hope anywhere I can and reading success stories on this site has helped..
I am not after any sympathy as I am well aware there are millions of other things in the world far more important than me and my lost Tommy..
I just want to share my feelings with someone who may understand..
Thank you from Adrian.
