have you seen this cat?

People have been asking about Luna, so I thought I would give an update. Unfortunately she hasn't made her way back home. I put up lost cat flyers all around and in doors around my apartment, I've called the microchip people, vets around my complex, and continue to walk around my complex daily looking and calling for her. One of the maintenance guys that pick up trash found her collar yesterday near my apartment. It was a break-away collar so I'm hoping she's ok. 

Rebecca asked if I was going to get a new cat, and I think the best thing to do is wait until I move. As long as I live here, she still knows where home is, and she might show up. But when/if I move, I guess that's the end of that. Hopefully she shows up soon though, it sure is quiet and lonely around my apartment without her. It was sad, the other day when I was grading papers I looked over ready to pet Luna (she always sits right next to me) and then I realized she wasn't there to pet. I'll let you know if there are any other developments!

Luna has been missing since Thursday. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. I have walked around my apartment building yelling her name, looking into bushes (I'm sure my neighbors at this point think I'm a peeping tom), and shaking her food bowl. She usually comes when I shake her food bowl., so I don't know what to do. Here are the possibilities of where Luna is:

1. She is on a grand adventure killing birds, and enjoying being outside.
2. She froze to death like a cat popsicle since it has been freezing here the past few nights.
3. She was killed and/or eaten by one of the animals living in the Greenbelt which is behind my complex
4. She is over me, and found a new home to live in.

Either way, I'm sad, lonely, and worried about her. I would ask everyone who reads to be on the lookout, but the only people that read this don't live in Austin. When I got back from my long run this morning I thought I saw her in the bushes and I got so excited and sat down and said, "Luna! Come here!" The cat walked over, and it was a fat, ugly cat. I turned my nose up at it and walked away. It was a really mean trick. In case you forgot what my lovely Luna looks like, here she is.

I guess my afternoon will now consist of making and hanging fliers around my complex. Come home Luna!
