Where is my Neko?

Thankyou, that is very much appreciated. It would be wonderful if she came back to me. I am sorry to hear about your cat, sounds absolutely awful. I hope whereever she is, she is OK 🙁

I’ve seen a tabby cat a couple of doors up from me on Boddington. I know its a long shot but I’ll check out its markings next time I see it. I know how you feel -my cat was mauled & killed by a wandering samoyed dog in Broad place Kambah a couple of days before you made this post.

Today I got woken up by the sound of the doorbell. I ignored it hoping it would go away. Luckily the door was answered by someone else and there was a woman with her two kids standing there. The lady began by telling me that they had found a friendly tabby cat and the child remembered seeing my flier so they had fed him and brought him over in the morning. They brought out a big friendly tabby boy cat but alas, it was not Neko. Even though I was disappointed that it was not her, it made me think about how good people can be and how a kind gesture can mean a lot to someone else. Another man in the street asked whether she had been found and that he was keeping his eye out for her.

Jono: Yeah, it’s like Draco in Dragonheart…naming her after the name of the creature in another tounge 🙂 It’s such a cute word too. My friend came up with it.

Sina: Thank you for your kind words, she had a curfew going on but obviously didnt adhere to it on this occasion 😉

Ant: I like your roof cat story! I hope he comes down for cuddles and to poop etc though!

Crikey: No, cat kebabs haven’t been on the menu lately.

I’m prolly a bit of a hippy but I think being free and living is better than being forever trapped but I understand people have differing views on that. Wildlife is definately a legitimate concern.

I’ve dropped fliers everywhere around my house and put it up at the shops and rang the RSPCA and posted it on here, I don’t think theres anything more I can do but hope that someone sees her or that she just shows up again.

Did you check your local Chinese Restaurant?

So you named your cat.. “Cat”? I like it actually. It’s certainly better than a lot of the names you see going through vet hospitals these days – “Cuddles”, “Delta” (as in Goodrem), “Pikachu”, “Super Snuffle Cuddle Sparkle Pie” (or something to that effect) etc

I hope Neko comes back. And then I hope you keep her inside for good – it may seem cruel to keep her inside but trust me, it’s far better than her getting hit by a car, attacked by another cat (or a dog), or inflicting damage on native wildlife. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats as much as the next guy, but sometimes being a little cruel is in the best interests of the animal.

Our cat lives on the roof. He even gets fed on the roof (and he usually fails to repel teh magpies who are after his nosh).

Ignore bonfire, he obviously has no life and enjoys trying to rile people up on internet forums. Loser.

When you adopt cats as adults from a shelter, it can be difficult to keep them inside all the time if they have previously been outdoor/stray cats. That’s the case with my cat, but she is only allowed outside when I’m at home and I keep an eye on her. And 10pm is her curfew!

I don’t live anywhere near the Kambah region, but I really hope you find your kitty safe and sound!!

bonfire: some might say they wish that all inconsiderate jerks were eradicated.

Thank you for your kind words Jonathon, if nothing horrible has happened to her I expect she would come home, she has it too good to just nick off 😉

When I brought her home from the RSPCA and had to keep her inside for a couple of weeks to get used to the place, she would sit in the window ALL day. Staring out and watching everything that went on not moving her eyes away from the glass. For a while I thought she might just be one of those “windowsill cats” but it became obvious she deperately wanted to be free. She seized her opportunity and bolted out of the door and disappeared for a day but returned later for food and affection (cats are smart). I know I wouldnt like being inside all the time, I believe the need to be outside is ingrained into them and makes for a happier cat 🙂 I hope she is just out there having a good time and that her bells are scaring the wildlife away.
