PETS DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR

Janine from Timberlea

I've lived in Timberlea 12+yrs now & over that time the amount of cats that have gone missing, is totally out of the ordinary 4any neighbourhood. Pet cats who have a home, food, warmth, love DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR. Personally I've had 5 cats vanish in the time I've been living here, aswel as a week stay at vets 4 one that returned home so sick, he's lucky 2still b alive. We had alot of strays having kittens couple yrs ago, & the visiting Tom's were out of control. Very sad 2C wat happens when responsibility of desexing isn't been done in time b4 young cats come in2 heat & having babies, were they can. I've found Afew litters of kittens on my door step at times & have always feed them, making it safe 4them & getting human contact, so they can b handled & taken 2 kitten Inn when old enough. Unfortunately on a couple of occasions, oneday there's 4 beautiful healthy kittens getting feed.... The next day GONE... never 2b seen again. I really want 2cry thinking about it. The last family a couple of yrs ago we kept a close eye on. Having help from daughter-in-law while she was helping at SPCA.... getting mother, son, daughter(who had kittens, now has been missing couple mths) all fixed & kittens went 2 kitten Inn.... No longer do we have Tom's crying.... Young female cats being raped & unwanted babies being homeless.... BUT OUR LOVED PET CATS R STILL VANISHING... As a cat owner 50ys I BLOODY WELL KNOW OUR CATS DON'T JUST LEAVE THEIR HOME & DISAPPEAR WITHOUT ANY TRACE. Even road kill leaves a body behind..... I have my own thorts as 2wat has happened 2them & even by whom in my direct neighbourhood.... Unfortunately there is nothing we can do 2protect our cats but keep them inside...
TO Cat Haters out there..... There r responsible cat owners out there, who dearly love the company of their feline friends & stress out when they don't come hm EVER.....,
