I am working in Grand Junction, Colorado. There are not as many leaves here as at home, but the leaves are still hiding my cat! I am mad at the leaves and sad. Elwha is still missing and it’s been a week. I have had food and the carrier out for him, put up posters on Facebook, contacted the shelters and vets, and searched and searched.
The carrier failed and the door popped off when I put it down. Elwha ran. Sol Duc was still in it, so I put the door back on as fast as I could! Then I left the carrier and went after Elwha, but could not find him. I kept going out and searching, including at 2 am.
Maybe he will show up at home. It’s only 1215 miles by car.
We had another cat who disappeared and we thought was gone. The hardware store called us a month later and said, “We have your cat.” She was thinner and scared to go outside. Elwha only goes out in carrier or with leash and harness. There are prairie dogs and a canal with low trees and bushes behind the building here. I don’t think he’s there, but I am still putting food out. There is another stray tiger who now comes out to study me from a distance.
Anyhow, I wish the leaves would send him back.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: leaves.

Oh, no! I hope he finds his way back to you.
Oh, no. I hope you are able to post good news soon. Between the shelter/vet notices and leaving things of his out on the porch…I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
That was my first guess! Then Grand Mesa. Damn, I’m good (once in a while). π€£
Litterbox? That’s the recommended method around here for letting lost cats know where home is. I hope he comes home, Poor little guy.
Since I have two cats, I didn’t put it out. I put a bunch of used litter out and some in the carrier and have been putting food in it every day. But I suspect it’s the other stray that is eating it.
I thought you’d figured it out.
Cats do that, they see an opportunity and acquire a new owner.
