Yvonne’s comments from the Gentle SPECTRUMS group.

I can't remember specific stories. I just know over the years I've heard that cats were missing for years and returned. If you Google "stories of cats missing after 3 years" a bunch of real stories come up.

Thank you for your kind words about Trudy. It sure does take a long time to miss them. The cat in my picture is Geiger. A handsome little guy who lived until 18 and I still miss him. I never took his pic off my profile.

Take care, Carolyn. I'm thinking about you.

I've heard many stories about cats returning after a long time. I will think positive thoughts for you. Glad to hear Marigold is doing well. Wow, 20? That's wonderful. Happy Birthday to Spirit.

No, there were no signs of anything wrong with Trudy. Just one day we found her lying by her water bowl. It was like she couldn't stand up to take a drink. She was totally limp. In fact when we got to the vet, he thought he might have to give her anesthesia to take the x-ray, but she was so limp it wasn't necessary. My first thought was that she ate something she shouldn't and had a stomach ache. But, they ran blood tests and x-rays and it was all bad news. The worst. She did love being in Florida though. She was even a trooper during the incredibly long drive from NY to FL.

The virus is scary and we mainly stay inside, except to get essentials. We moved to FL because both of our families live here. No one in our family lives in NY any longer, so it was an easy decision to make.

Take care of yourself and I'll have to check out the rest of the discussion group. You did a great job with this group. Thank you for letting me know about it.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear all this, Carolyn. My hugs and sympathy to you.

I've had a few changes in my life since last we talked. We retired from New York and moved to Florida. It's been weird since the virus started a couple of months after we got here and has gotten worse in recent weeks. We've mostly been in lockdown.

Our three cats came along to Florida, of course, but in April my beautiful Trudy got sick and we lost her. They did bloodwork and x-rays and discovered cancer, kidney failure and other things wrong. I was in shock because she didn't show any illness until one day when she just couldn't move anymore. My Kit and Cookie are doing well and have adapted well to the move.

I'm always trying to stay positive with my books and shows. I was thinking of creating a cat group but I'm not sure if I will go ahead with it. I already have my cat mystery group.

Take care.
Yvonne

All is well here! We "discovered" Schitts Creek on Netflix thanks to the virus and being locked down. I love it!

I love this show! I'm waiting for Netflix to get the last season.
