Hurry home, buddy :(

Huffelpuff Van Whiskersface, the first kitty that khristle and I ever got together, is missing. He went missing some time between Friday morning when I was putting on my shoes and Sunday morning at 3am when Crystal asked "Hey, have you seen Huffy recently?" He's a bit of a loner/skittish cat who likes to find a good hidey-hole and stick with it, but we know of all his hiding places here in the apartment. And we can always get him to come out of hiding by jiggling the bag of Friskies and/or going "KITTYKITTYKITTYKITTY!!!"

But today, no Huffy :( We figure he must have got out Friday afternoon and has been wandering around outside for two days now. We both feel terribly guilty that we didn't even notice he was gone till two days later :(

This is the same cat that saved my life once. NO KIDDING! The heater in our apartment malfunctioned and set a ox of stuff on fire in our livingroom while I was dead asleep, and he kept jumping up on the bed and in my face and making a terrible racket (which is VERY unlike him) till I got up and realized there was a fire!

We rescued Huffy from the Humane Society during our first Christmas together. He had been segregated from all the other cats because he had a little respiratory infection that made him all sneezy and raspy-breathing ("Huffy" was a term used to describe his breathing). He locked his big gold eyes on me and it was love pure and simple. We petted him and he licked our hands... then he climbed on to Crystal's head and we adopted him.

Thank goodness we had him chipped! We're putting posters up all over the apartment complex now, so all we have to do is sit and wait!

Hurr home, buddy... we miss you!

A MOST TRIUMPHANT RETURN!!!

The Huffelpuff Van Whiskersface, back in his Natural Habitat.

We had done all we could do. All the "Lost Cat" signs had been posted. khristle had done not one but TWO searches of the perimeter while I sat in near-paralytic depression over the possible loss of our beloved Huffy. And now here I had come in to the computer room to see if I could find anyone who ould deliver a Mourning/Depression Pizza after 11pm. Suddenly we heard a frantic Meowing from out the window computer room window (we live on the second floor) and THERE HE WAS! Huffelpuff Van Whiskersface runing around the little yard out there as fast as he could, meowing as loud and fast as he could muster! I yelled at him to hang on and he aknowledged me by jumping up and down and screaming "MEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOW!!!" even faster than he had done before!

So now he is back! Our other cat (Joey) can't stop sniffing and hissing, but Huffy just dismisses these acions now; HE has spent an ENTIRE NIGHT outside! He's no pansy any more!

Thanks to everyone who expressed concern over our missing cat :)
