Milo

[Erin]

My brother rang this morning and told me milo has gone missing :( robin has a cat flap but its always locked as he only lets the cat out while hes with them. He got up this morning and the cat flap had been broken open and milo and tinks food (which is kept by back door an cat flap) had been tipped over an was scattered all over the floor. Tink was hiding behind the sofa and milo had gone. Robin has been out calling him, put a litter tray and food outside but still no sign of milo. This is very out of character for milo,he never goes futher than the back garden and is never out for longer than half an hour at a time! Robin has rang around the local vets and is out walkin the streets calling him now. Please keep your fingers crossed that my baby goes home soon :(

[angieh]

Oh Erin I am so sorry to hear about Milo. Everything crossed for his safe return.

[dinahsmum]

Of course Erin, my thoughts are with you, obviously.
Hopefully he may be hiding somewhere, frightened, and might slip back when he thinks things are quiet

[yola]

Fingers and toes crossed that your little poppet returns safe and sound. Sounds like a break-in by a local thug-cat . . .

[Erin]

Thanks all. Yola i was thinking maybe another cat had broke in. Im going to go round after ive finished work and see if he will come back to me calling him. I just hope hes not hurt,poor baby :( the vets now all have both mine and my brothers numbers to cal5 if he gets taken in to any of them

[Elaine]

Poor Milo, are there any sheds or bushes he could be hiding under near by? As DM said he may just be very frightened by the experience and lying low until he feels safe to come out.
Have everything crossed for his safe return xxx

[Magenta]

Oh no! That's terrible! I hope Milo makes a safe return soon! *hugs*

[pinklizzy]

Hope Milo comes home soon xx

[dandysmom]

Oh Erin, so sorry to hear this! I agree he was probably frightened silly by the thug cat breaking in, and is hiding somewhere; sending lots of "come home" vibes. Do keep us posted.

[PoshPuss]

Oh dear :( hope Milo turns up safe and sound soon.
He must be very scared now.

[Moli]

Poor baby, hope he finds his way home soon!

[Leesy]

Poor Milo he must have been soooo scared by the other cat, didn`t know that another cat would have been able to break in like that:( , sending him lots of come home vibes.

[Erin]

Just back from my brothers, 2 hours of calling for him, shaking food and more calling for him, I got quite excited when I heard a little meow coming from the garden at the back, but it wasnt Milo :( a young tabby cat jumped up to see what all the shouting was about.
We have been and knocked at every house on the street but nobody has seen him :( People who had sheds checked them but nothing, my poor baby :(

I should have found a way to keep him and Tinkerbell with me, this wouldnt have happened then.

My brother said that Milos been very quiet for a few days now, and that he thinks its because a big black tom cat from down the road has been hanging around the garden. I saw this cat while I was out the back calling for Milo, hes huge!!!

I really do hope that he's just hiding out somewhere and he'll go home when hes due his dinner!!
:(

[angieh]

I sincerely hope so too Erin. Come home please Milo.

[dandysmom]

Oh dear, was hoping for good news by now. I wonder if it was the huge black cat that broke in and scared Milo so .... fingers crossed that he'll be home for dinner......

[alexgirl73]

Fingers and paws crossed here that he's home soon.

[Leesy]

Hope he is back home nice and safe soon.

[Mags]

Oh Erin, I've only just seen this, poor Milo must have been scared to run off like that :( ........ fingers crossed that he'll find his way back home very soon...(((hugs))) x

[random]

Oh Erin i'm so sorry, I hope he's back home soon. :(

[Erin]

Hes still not home, it was awful weather last night and its been bad today too. Poor baby :( Tink is crying out for him now so hopefully if he is just hiding near by he will hear her and go home

[angieh]

I had hoped he would have come home by now Erin. Sending loads of come home Milo thoughts.

[Elaine]

Oh Erin I really hope he comes home soon xxx

[Leesy]

So sorry to hear that he has not come back home yet, hopefully like you have said he will hear Tink calling him and come back home.
That BIG cat must have really given him a fright, poor baby:(

[dinahsmum]

Don't give up Erin - and don't beat yourself up either

[dandysmom]

Oh Erin, how awful. Still sending Come Home vibes .......

[Erin]

WE HAVE A MILO CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went right round my brothers after work, we spent hours again, walking the streets and calling out, the weather was awful. Anyway we had no luck so went back to his, had a quick drink before we had to leave to collect my nephew from his moms.
We went back an hour later to find a tabby tail and white back legs sticking out of an royal canin bag :lol: out popped a very dirty and very wet but unharmed Milo :D He immediately jumped down off the side and started screaming out for food, poor starving baby. So after a pouch of food he let me dry him off and give him a look over, he appears to be fine, there are no apparent signs of any injuries but im taking him to the vets to get checked over tomorrow just to be safe.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts :)

[calismum]

I am so pleased to hear this has had a good outcome - I hope the vet doesn't find anything untoward.

I'm sure after a good nights rest and a big feed he'll be just fine.

Welcome home Milo

[random]

Oh what brilliant news Erin i'm so pleased. x

[Moli]

Brilliant news Erin, what a relief to know he is home and safe...

[dandysmom]

Ahhh, we can exhale now! Poor baby, so glad he's home!

[Leesy]

That is such wonderful news Erin that Milo has returned home I am soooo soooo pleased that he has come back home to you safe and sound, you must be over the moon as they say.
Glad to see the ordeal has not affected his appetite;) .

[Mags]

Fantastic news Erin, so pleased for you and your brother that he's safe and back home again .......... Catsey can breathe again ;)

[angieh]

I am SO GLAD! Welcome home Milo. I am sure he'll be fine. Wish they could tell us where they've been.

((((HUGS)))) all round I should think.

[alexgirl73]

Oh thank goodness for that :D Brilliant news Erin.

[Erin]

Thanks all :) I have spoken to my Brother this morning, the little man is doing fine, and back to his crazy self so may not bother with the vets. He woke them at 6 this morning swinging of the curtains in the bedroom :lol: bless him

[Leesy]

Thats great news Erin and I think agree if he is swinging of the curtains don`t think he will need to go to the vets:lol: :lol:

[PoshPuss]

Great news Erin :D Glad the little tyke is home and wild as ever.

[Mags]

So pleased Milo is none the worse for his fright, Erin...

[dandysmom]

They do bounce back quickly, don't they! So pleased he's himself again!

[Elaine]

Brilliant news Erin, so pleased he is home safe and sound:D

[Phoenix]

Only just caught up with news :oops:

Sorry to hear Milo went missing but glad he's home again :D

[yola]

I'm SO very relieved to be reading this Erin. Well done Milo for coming home :) :) :) :) :) :)

[dinahsmum]

I'm so pleased for you Erin

[jan]

I only just found this thread myself and was holding my breath as I read through - so pleased for you all that Milo s back - gosh, our four legged friends really take years off us don t they! Quite amazing that a heavy cat can break in through a cat flap but have heard of it before - has your brother done anything to the flap to prevent it happening again? Jan x

[pookyandjo]

Welcome Home Milo!.. Erin you must be so relieved!

I'm with jan... only just reading through this thread... and am VERY happy that Milo has come home..... if only he could talk and tell you where he'd been... got me thinking about a big ginger tom that we have in our neighbourhood... he is an absolute brute... one without too much grey matter im sure as he constantly tries to charge his way through our steel mesh security door to get inside to our cats..he's a feral im sure... no collar and not fixed... have tried to catch him in a cage so we can take him and get him fixed but he's smart enough to avoid it!

[smudgley]

So pleased Milo is now safe at home Erin.

[Erin]

Thanks all :)

Jan, there is little he can do really, he has borded it up the best he can.
Milos fine bless him, still his crazy self :)

[Magenta]

I'm so happy to hear he's back!! That's great news :)
