RE: OT: No longer missing cat

I only had time to read the cat messages and I want to suggest that you
leave clothing with your scent near the house.  My son's cat came back to
the clothing that he left around. I think Kitty's idea of sitting on the
lawn and waiting is a good one. I waited with an open can of cat food. Make
sure that no one disturbs you. It may take a while.

Good luck!

Well, you're more than half way there.  Won't be long...she's going to get
hungry.
BTW.  When you feel she's around, but you don't know exactly where, consider

just sitting down on the lawn and waiting calmly.  She might come to you.
It's the quick movements that are scaring her.
