No -- we haven't seen hide nor hair of him. Raechel is being a
trooper and hasn't cried hardly at all when she's with us but she *does*
talk about him when she's with her friends. One of her friends made R a
paper hat with a picture of Cheeto drawn on it and R has it displayed on
her nightstand. She sleeps with Cheeto's little blankie at night, so we
know how much she is missing him. She told DD that she will let us
know when she is ready to get another kitty. That's probably because
she doesn't want to give up hope that he will return and thinks that
once she agrees to get another kitty, it means she has given up hope
that Cheeto will return.
I need to show her the link that Bruce posted here about the cat who
ran off and was "gone" for SIX years. The coule who owned him had
moved, had a child and gotten several dogs and cats when the "found" the
first cat. He had apparently shown up back at his old home and someone
in the 'hood had been feeding him for two years. The wife had gone back
to the 'hood and was driving around when she saw the cat sitting on a
fence!!! She brought the scoundrel home and he is fitting in quite
nicely with his new siblings :-))). CiaoMeow
