Darrell & Sharyn

So last Wednesday night, May 27, there was a miscommunication in our house and our front door got left open for about 3 hours. Darrell is the one who noticed and found Zedd outside in the front garden. Poleeko was not to be found. I spent awhile wandering around calling his name. About 11:30 pm, I opened the front door and noticed him under our neighbor’s porch. I went outside to try to coerce him inside and then Darrell went around so we could try to chase him back into the house. Poleeko just flipped out and bounded along the side of the house and over the blackberry bushes into the wooded area behind the house. That was the last we saw of him. About 1:30am, there was a big cat fight outside and that was it. We haven’t seen Poleeko or heard him since. We have been looking at the shelters and what not, but we are pretty sure that he will not be coming home. So as sad as I am, I feel super sad for Zedd. He spent the first few days yowling at the windows and then he spent a few more days moping around. He is slowly adjusting to being the only cat.

So, here are some of my favorite photos that we have of Poleeko:

I really miss this guy. Now we can leave things out and they don’t disappear underneath our bed. He really was my cat and he loved to be near me. I hope that he found somewhere safe even though my rational brain says that he didn’t make it.
