Dear trhays57 I am thankful to you for your kind comment. You can understand the suffering of losing a loving cat. Your experience of missing Elton and his arrival after a month really gave me hope and comfort. Kind wishes and love for Elton.
Praying for Peeno's safe return. Maybe you can take a little hope and comfort from this - my Elton was missing for an entire month, and then one day, there he was at the window! Much thinner but otherwise perfect. I certainly Peeno is not gone for a month and am sending all of my positive thoughts your way.
