In Memoriam.
I wanted to let you know that our cat Gus (the black one) got out of the house last Sunday about a week and a half ago now. I'm starting to accept the fact that he's not coming back. I was in denial for a week, but now I keep thinking about how sad I am! I've had him for 4 1/2 years so I (we) are grieving. Brian sad he was the best cat he's ever had...he spent a lot of time in the beginning trying to find him and I just thought "silly cat" hoping he'd just come meowing at our door, but no...he's in cat heaven.
Here are some fun things I'll miss about Gus: his loud purr, how he liked to hide under blankets and the edges of our couch slip covers, how he'd noisily wipe his paws on the litter box after he'd finished doing his business waking us up at night (preparing us for life with a baby), his head butts, the time he fell fifteen feet from a ledge to the floor by our front door, how he loved the birds, how Joy (our other cat) and he would play and groom each other, how social he was always showing himself to our company before Joy would, the way he'd come running when we opened cans of tuna (and any canned food for that matter), how you could only rub his head or his tail if you didn't want to get bit, his cute meow and etc.
Thanks for listening.

Oh Sarah, I am sorry. It sounds as if Gus was a very important part of your family. Thanks for the memoriam. Anj

Words of hope for you and Gus, Sarah.
Our associate pastor and his wife left on vacation and had their daughter staying over and one of the cats got out. For days, they went all over the place looking and calling. Then nearly two weeks later, their next door neighbors came over and had found the little guy in their basement. He had somehow managed to get in through a basement window and their cat's littbox and food were down there, so he just hid out there and used the guestroom, so to speak.
If Gus doesn't come back (but I hope he does), just keep thinking he may have found a happy place to be.
