Nothing Yet

It’s been several days and I have not caught anything in the trap, not even a rodent. So I’m going to freshen the food and move it to a different spot. Hopefully I will have better luck.

Gratitude

It has been a very trying month without India. We miss her terribly. But this post isn’t about her. It’s about you. The community has been incredibly supportive during this difficult time. People have been very kind to us, and have sent messages of encouragement. I have had a couple of calls about cats who have not been India, but I’m still glad to receive those calls. They mean that someone has heard of her and knows she is missing. It means that someone cares about us and wants to bring her home. And that is a very great gift. Thank you so much for your kindness and continued watchfulness. Please keep us in your thoughts and keep looking. I know it’s entirely possible that she was killed by a coyote or some other predator. But I’m not ready to give up yet. Thank you for continuing to encourage us.

India is Missing

This blog is dedicated to finding my black cat, India.  Check here or on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Searching-for-India-the-Black-Cat-257465531445956 for the latest information about India. India is a black cat. She is missing from the 1700 block of 34/35th Streets in Bellingham, Washington. She is 7 years old and weighs about 12 pounds. In strong light she is actually black with darker black tiger stripes. She has a very, very slight kink in her tail that cannot be seen and must be felt. She also has about 12 white hairs on her chest. When we came home on the evening of 5 November, India darted out the door. We tried to catch her but she was too quick and she ran and hid under the motorcycles. It had snowed the previous day and there were still several inches of snow on the ground and it was freezing outside. With the cold weather we were sure she’d be ready to come inside when we went to bed. We called but she didn’t come. I called twice more in the night but s...

Search Dog

Yesterday was a very long day for us. We had heard about a cat-detecting search dog and decided to engage their services. The dog wouldn’t be able to find India specifically, but could smell if a cat was hiding under a deck or in other places we couldn’t see. A big thank you goes out to all of our neighbors who allowed the dog to check your properties. We looked all over the neighborhood for her, but we were not able to find India. However, all is not lost. The dog is also able to smell where an attack has taken place, and he didn’t find any sign that India had been the victim of a coyote. Additionally, they didn’t find any coyote droppings. I think my next step is going to be to set a humane trap and see if it attracts her. I have no clue where she is, but I think she is still out there. There are plenty of stories about cats who have gone missing, but there are also many stories about cats who have come back after a month or two. One neighbor had a cat missing for a year who fi...
