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.

An Adventure

Last night I received a call from someone saying he had a black cat in his apartment and he thought it might be India. He said it had green eyes and looked just like the picture in the Craigslist ad. I asked about the kink in her tail, and he said he was not really comfortable around cats and didn’t want to handle it. We were just finishing dinner so I said I would come over and see if it was India. I didn’t think it was wise to go to a strange apartment all alone, so I called Holly and asked if she would go with me. The kids stayed home with Geoffrey. We got to the apartment and the guys who lived there were very nice and showed us the room where the cat was hiding. She had wedged herself between the hamper and the wall. She seemed too small to be India, though after two months she could have lost weight. But I felt her tail and it was straight and true. It wasn’t India. Nevertheless, we couldn’t just leave her here. She was a very sweet and well socialized kitty, but she was conf...

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...
