  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We've lost Aggie and can't find her. I've done everything I know that usually calls her from whatever hidey hole she's in...to no avail.

Mike's out driving around looking for her.

please pray that we find her asap. I can't bear to lose another part of the family this soon after losing Oscar.

Kae,

Do you feed this cat wet or dry food? If it's wet food walk
around the backyard or nearby the house with a can opener. Click it as if you're opening a can. If it's dry
cat food, walk around the same areas while shaking the bag of food. She's been gone overnight and is
probably hungry. These sounds should bring her out of hiding.

Thanks everyone!

Zec, we've done all that and no luck. We have both wet and dry food sitting out for her right now and I put a pile of catnip on the porch. I've rattled dishes (the sign that gooshy food is coming!) the food bags, everything I can think of. I even took Xander out on a leash hoping that he'd be a bit scared and cry to get in...maybe that would kick in the "locator cry" instinct. Nothing.

We're getting ready to head out and get supplies to make posters and leaflets. One of the ladies at Church works for the Shelter so I'll talk to her tomorrow and see if anyone dropped Aggie off. Shelter's closed now. :(

I'm so sorry you're going through this! :hug:

The encouraging thing is that cats are not like dogs, who get lost easily. It seems they can find their way home from just about anywhere. They seem to have some sort of built-in GPS. Maybe when she gets good and hungry, she'll turn up.

I'll keep praying for you and for her.

Thanks Joyful!

We got our supplies and some extra stinky catnip. Tomorrow I'm going to call our Nature Center and see if we can borrow a Hav-a-heart trap and I'll call around to shelters.

I'm putting up notices on Craigslist and Petfinder and I'll call the local shelters and vets on Monday.

Thanks, Quilty!

I just put breakaway collars on Xander and Willow with their rabies tags and microchip tags. That's one thing I'm happy about, Aggie's been microchiped so, if she goes to a shelter or animal control, they SHOULD scan her. I'm just sorry I didn't put their collars on before this happened.

Just had a discussion with God telling Him how angry I am that He's not jumping to my will...even though I KNOW in my heart that He doesn't work that way. I confessed to Him and let it all out...tears and all.

And He sent me this via Twitter:

Rule over your sorrow and bend your mind so that you may willingly be obedient to God in your anguish.—Melanchthon


Dear Heavenly God,

I know that You aren't the author of the theology of glory where, if I say the right prayers and do the right things You will answer me when and how *I* want You to answer me.

I know that You are the Author and Perfecter of my faith and that Your Theology of the Cross says that You'll be with me no matter what I am going through and that You will help me through it. You'll never give me more than I can bear even if I think that I can't bear this at all. I know that all things will work for good according to Your Will. Even if I can't see what good it'll bring...or even EVER see what good it will do...I know that it WILL be good.

Lord, grow my faith because only You can.

Amen.
