Paint Girl has been very sad that her "angel" cat, Domino, has been missing.As I drove through Paint Girl's neighborhood today, I scanned every yard and ditch, hoping I'd see that white and tiger-striped spotted cat sitting in someone else's yard. I would stop, call him, he would walk up to me, I'd pick him up, put him in my car, and take him home to her.
As I groomed My Boy, let him graze in the field, picked rocks from his pasture, and cleaned his shed, I kept looking around the property for some sign of the white cat. I wanted to find him.
It didn't happen.But I did find this heart-shaped rock in My Boy's pasture. A rare find. And oddly symbolic considering the circumstances.
Paint Girl, don't give up hope that Domino will come home. Stranger things have happened in the world of felines. But no matter what the outcome, although it feels broken now, know that in time, your heart will stop aching.
And it will be there, in your heart, that your angel kitty will forever hold a place.
I had one car that was gone for over a month. We found her over five miles away, and she had to cross over several hills and a freeway to get where she was! She had lost about ten pounds-( she was chunky to begin with) but other than that,she was ok. I hope your sisters kitty comes back to her too!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of Domino today and hoping that I'd get to the computer and hear that he had come home. The hardest part of having a cat go missing is the not knowing part...it is SO, SO hard to not know where they are, if they are hurt or if they are trying to make their way home. My heart goes out to your sister.
ReplyDeleteGive your sister a big hug from me would you ? So tough having a pet missing . As I said to her my Rowdy cat used to wander off ,an right about the time I was giving up hope he would stroll up to the house like he was expected. I so hope theat it works that way for Paint Girl. Saying a little prayer for her and Domino's safe return
ReplyDeleteAwww...it's so awful when our lil' ones go astray...prayers that she finds her way back home.
ReplyDeletePG...your photos are wonderful BTW~~
What a nice post Pony girl....Love that rock.
ReplyDeleteAwwh...so sad for your sister... we lost our 10 year old dog like that..he just disappeared..whether he got hit by a car, or the coyotes got him, or someone just wanted him for themselves! He was so beautiful! I always like to picture him sitting beside someone who loves him as much as we did 'cause we never did find out what happened! I pray that Domino comes home to Paint Girl safely.
ReplyDeletePS the heart-shaped rock is a message.. you know!
I've been hoping all weekend Domino would come home. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteOh dear... we have animals that go missing for weeks and then wander back... not sure if PaintGirls home is in a built-up area, but cats are resilient creatures. Fingers crossed for a happy ending!!

Beautiful post. I talked to Paint Girl on my way home from work tonight, and it breaks my heart that she is so distraught over him being gone. I know exactly how she feels. I have been there several times, but fortunatly mine have come home. You think about them and worry every minute. HUGS.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lost Oliver I went out and called every 2 hours, 24 hours around the clock for 3 days. Then he came home in the middle of the night all by himself!!! Her kitty could still come home. Have they called all the shelters and vet clinics???
ReplyDeleteOh PG~M, that is so sweet!! My heart breaks for your sis, if anyone in this world deserves to have the joy of ALL of their animals safe and sound it's her...I really hope Domino is found...Last September my mini Australian Shepherd ran away, and 27 days later I found her walking across my road mot even a mile away!! Somebody had her, because she had been groomed...I really hope that's the case for Paint Girl!
ReplyDeleteI keep checking the posts to see if Domino has been found. That heart-shaped stone is so wild. We will keep thinking good thoughts here for Domino and Paint Girl.
ReplyDeletePoor Paint Girl. I, too, hope for the very best. Hopefully Domino will show up or be found very soon. It is terrible not knowing where your beloved pet is.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about PG's missing cat. (("hugs"))
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed for Domino's return-we all feel a little lost when our beloved beasts go missing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post PG for your sis. I hope he comes home soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for her. I an trying to deal with the loss of my Annie too. But there is still hope for this sweetness to come home. I am assuming she has put ads out. I'm sorry, I'm not much good to anyone right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post! I am sorry - I searched for a dog for two months. The longing to find him was so great!
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad and heartbreaking when an animal goes missing like that. Our Sonya (cat) was gone for a week one time, but came home. I thought for sure she was gone. Love the photos of your kitty -- I sure hope he comes home.....
ReplyDeleteHas she called the local shelters? I know that one of our barn cats went missing for 2 weeks before we thought to call. Sure enough there was a cat at the shelter matching his description! The little bugger had gotten his collar off one way or another. The shelter knew the cat was not a stray because of how well cared for he was so they just held on to him and were very happy to hear from us, even though it took 2 weeks. I hope your sister gets a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI had a cat that was gone for one whole month. It was right around halloween too, and I feared the worst. But he returned! all skinny and meowing and yowling like crazy. I had another friend have her cat turn up SEVEN MONTHS LATER!! I hope this is what will happen with Domino! That he returns safe and sound. It is too hard on your heart to have them gone.
ReplyDeleteOh no,I hate to hear that. I hope very much that her kitty returns soon. Sending good thoughts her way...
ReplyDeleteHope Domino finds his way home. Give Paint Girl hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat rock is awesome!
I know the feeling. I've had my barn cat disappear for weeks at a time and feared the worst. Then all of the sudden she'll show up looking for food and a quiet place to sleep and rest up from her adventures. I hope that will be the case with Domino.
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures of Domino and how you caputured the details. My OH and I found a heart work on the beach one time...we still have it, somewhere!
ReplyDeleteAww I hope he turns up! We had a cat that was missing for years and then came back. We never knew were he went.
ReplyDeleteThat rock is so pretty. Very rare find!
Hope the kitty returns home soon..... :(
ReplyDeleteOh I HOPE she finds Domino!! I wish her luck and I love the beautiful rock!
ReplyDeleteI hope Domino will be home safe and sound soon! I have been there and it is a horrible painful thing. She is a wonderfully caring person and I don't want her heart broken. Your photos of her boy are so pretty and glad you took them for her!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post--the words and the pictures! You are a great sister.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos.
ReplyDeleteInteresting rock! Hoping that Domino returns safely.
ReplyDeleteSo sad..hope he turns up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post. I do hope that Domino makes it home. Surely that rock is a sign.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh.....I hope Domino comes home soon. Hugs to your sister--I know how tough that is....
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures girlfriend. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
