But when the thought that she could still be out hangs on forever. Don't give up hope yet. I have a friend who's cat was missing for 2 months and it was fixed as well. They had even gotten a new kitten, but due to allergies had to get rid of it. Then after 2 months the cat showed up again. Don't forget my cat Wildflower who disappeared while we were in California and I thought she was gone and dead only to hear she was still alive 4 months later. But when one disappears the not knowing can hurt so much more. I pray that if she is still alive, she will find her way back to you. You stories here of all your cats is so wonderful, but I am sure it helped to write about them right now. I am so glad to be back here on the internet. Sending you the biggest hugs.

My tears are falling for you this morning because I am so very sorry that your precious Poppy has not returned. In time you will find that acceptance.... But I have no doubt whatsoever that if she is at the Rainbow Bridge the gate was open for her and she was met and welcomed by those who arrived before her and Poppy told them all about how you are doing and the wonderful life you shared. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-1048157725255028912013-04-28T19:56:00.053+12:002013-04-28T19:56:00.053+12:00Hi Jenny and Susan, lovely words, thank you so muc...Hi Jenny and Susan, lovely words, thank you so much, No microchip, no neighbours have her, the mystery is too hard.Happy memories always in my heart.Jean.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
