Iktomi

[cornerofmadness]

I got the usual parental call tonight (now that mom has free calling after 9pm on her cell phone she likes to call every night there's not something she wants to watch on tv) Well tonight it was my dad on the line and I'm thinking uh-oh what's wrong? My dad never calls me.

Iktomi's missing. Turns out my cat's been missing for a week but they didn't want to tell me and upset me. No one knows where he is. THey've put up flyers and dad's checked the woods and the sides of the roads. All we know is that he's not lying dead in any of his usual spots.

The vet told them that it's not unusual for male cats just to take off and come back months even years later. It's happened to most of my friends who've had male cats. Heck it happened to Sharon and I and SPike the cat in FL. So I'm not giving up on Iktomi yet. I'm hoping he'll come home. My parents are still looking for him. The only thing we hope, this close to Halloween is that someone didn't take a black cat to do terrible things to.

Or, whenever the deer or bunnies chase him out of the woods.

exactly. Our land is posted so likely no one shot him as a rabbit

Which is a good thing, because he doesn't look very-rabbit-like.

no but cats tend to jump thru the woods like rabbits...and hunters seem to just hate cats (because they kill birds/rabbits)
