Thank you everyone for your kind and funny comments and support!

What gate is that?? Also, what's his name? Whoops, see his name, Chicken. Who'd thunk??

[Jonesy56]

His real name is Theodore, but we lovingly call him Chicken-cat because that was all he would eat when we adopted him 12 years ago! He survived being left on the side of the highway at 4 wks old when his mother was hit. He almost lost his front leg to a copperhead, and was stuck in a 6 inch drain pipe for 24 hours 2 winters ago. (We had to hire a Kabooda to dig him out.) I'm hoping he'll survive this, too, and learn to love living inside! Thanks for your interest!

Oops, the map tags in the advanced editor don't seem to recognize bluebird or blue bird. I'll try madhatter to get close look a block or so north for blue bird. good luck

I think BlueBird is Gate 1, but I am not positive

[Jonesy56]

Yes, Bluebird is Gate 1, right on Redbird, left on Bluebird. Thanks!

Jonesy56 - Wow, what a story!! Good luck, hope you find him. You gotta keep looking for him. Sometimes they're only a few feet from you. Leave some food and water out. That may tempt him.

We're on Blue Bird, but near Wild Rose. We'll definitely keep an eye out for him. We're feeding another stray (female black and white) right now, so he might find us.

[Library Lady]

Wow! If he survived all that, he'll be fine.

Is he still wearing the hat????
- Sounds like he should have 4 more lives left... so hopefully he'll return to live them out with ya....

Jonesy, if you haven't already, please contact the local shelters and vets and animal control. There's a sticky at the top of Pets lost and found forum that has some numbers. We'll all keep a lookout! I haven't seen many tuxedo kitties so he should stand out.

when we 1st moved there, our cat also left...stand outside at night , when its quiet and call him.....and wait...do it over and over until he can find his way to you... we could hear our cat from far away...it took a few hours, but she found her way home.. Cant hurt to try.....

[Jonesy56]

Thanks, MoeMoe...I've been doing that! I guess the neighbors think I'm crazy, standing outside at night hollering "Chicken!"

[Jonesy56]

I was thinking of putting some flyers up. Does anyone know of any rules about that?

no rules, go for it....just curious...did you just move from someplace he could be trying to get back to? I think thats what our cat had been trying to do at the time....just a thought hope you find him soon. Dont give up.

Great suggestion!! I've done that myself.

[LFE]

A nice rule of thumb is to keep them current or remove outdated flyers....

I have occasionally dusted a 3+ year old thread and reposted the link
HERE
It gives some hope to those who've been missing their furry friends for a long period of time. Let's hope Chicken is found soon

Great news!!! Keep an eye on him. He probably wanted to see what he could be missing.

I'm so glad!
