Ashar Update

Well I couldn't sleep for worrying about Ashar. I posted on loads of groups asking for advice and there was a lot of great advice coming back at me. So much so at 5am I was wide awake and went out to try get my kitty back.

I had taken some food out before and I went down and called Ashar's name and he came running. He wasn't going to make it easy for me though so I went walking off in the oposite direction to see what he did. To my amazement he ran in the door and up the stairs. WOOHOO!!

So we spent the next couple of hours laying on the room floor having a massive love-In (Lots of fuss and cuddling) Of course I included Pica so they both know they are very loved cats.

Needless to say that DD and DS were over the moon when they got up to find Ashar curled up in the corner.

Losing another cat

I am so angry at myself for risking letting the cats out already. I thought they would be able to cope but it seems not. Ashar has decided that he doesn't want to come back inside at all. When we call his name he comes running and meowing his head off but then he stops short and runs off the other way. He keeps diving under parked cars (There is a car park for residents out the front) and when we try to slide in and get him he darts off under another car.

Pica is fine, he isn't bothered about going out, only to do his business. I don't know what to do as Ashar has been out there for 24hrs now and hasn't had any food.

I couldn't cope with losing him like we lost Jason

Cats - They never get it.

Every morning as soon as I come downstairs, my 2 cats Pica and Ashar start running round like mad things.
I go into the kitchen and they are following me round and meowing their heads off.
I open the fridge and they are there looking up at me with their pleading eyes.
I go to the front room and they are there under my feet, I get up again and it's off to the kitchen they run.

Thing is, I never have any food in at that time of day. In fact I don't ever feed them in the morning until about 11am after I have been out to buy the food for them.
Still they never learn and to them everytime I go to the kitchen it must be feeding time.

I love them to death though and they get their food in the end.
