The House Feels a Bit Emptier…
Our big beautiful Bruce has been missing since Sunday. He is declawed (he came that way from the shelter) and very docile and trusting. He must have slipped out of the back door. I fear I will not see him again, despite his ID chip.
It hasn’t really sunk in with Ian yet, largely because Bruce is fairly reclusive. His idea of being social is sitting on the other end of the couch while ignoring you. Sigh.

My guess is, barring misfortune, he’ll be back. Jaguar was declawed, and he spent most of his time outdoors. He had his back claws, so he still climbed trees; but he had difficulty getting back down. I don’t know if there are any trees around your place, but you might go looking for him a bit. Jag spent one night and all day the next day in one once.
My parents’ cat got out once and spent several days away before reappearing. It’s a cat thing. I think it’ll be okay.

Ugh. I hope he turns up.
