She had a collar, but an old phone number on it.
We searched he house afraid she had died, we searched the yard and drove around the town. I even called the city department in charge of picking up roadkill, nothing.
We were pretty sure she was gone for good.
Last night we out for late night ice cream, it was a kind of last minute thing. On our way up the driveway We saw a cat running in the dark, and we were not sure. She was near the door front , and she ran behind the fence when I got too close, but I coaxed close enough so I could pick her up. Her collar was gone but you could see where it had been and she had lost a fair bit of weight. We gave her a full tin of meat and she ate fast and run under my bed to sleep. She is scared and thinner, but definitively healthy.
my wife and i are very happy indeed
