Yeah, last Friday our cat ran away. He’s never done this and I was scared that he’d get hit by a car. The good news is that he’s now back in the apartment and he’s alright. Thanks to my sweet husband and all the help from my Twitter buddies. We had search around the apartment complex for days and nights, hoping to spot him. I contacted SPCA and my county’s animal shelter that he was lost and visited them to see if he was taken in. I placed a post on Craigslist and posted flyers.
How did we catch him? We used a humane trap and followed some tips we found and heard from others. Centsible Life offered a helpful advice on Twitter. She told me to leave out his litter box out. I did so and included some of his favorite wet food. The next morning he was there waiting for us.
Enough with my week, here are some carnivals and posts I enjoyed and wanted to share.
