Bertie, come home

Bertie the black cat, who came to live here with us in April 2010, went out as usual yesterday morning. He didn't come back — not even for his five o'clock feeding. He's nearly 17 years old, and has been slowing down for the past couple of years. He eats and eats but can't seem to gain weight. The sun is just coming up. I need to go walk around the hamlet and see if I can find him.



These are some photos of Bertie that I've taken over the years.

  2. Walt and I have talked to several neighbors this morning and nobody seems to have seen Bertie yesterday or this morning. Something happened between noon and five o'clock yesterday because he didn't show up for his afternoon feeding. I think he's gone, but who knows where or how.

  4. oh no poor Mr B.....maybe he's just closed in somewhere by accident since maybe there are more people around than usual due to holiday? I guess he never really goes too far or do you really know

  10. I cannot believe he disappeared :-( - he has his friend, Tasha, there and both you guys! He must be on an adventure or else somebody felt sorry for him and took him in for the night... (hoping).
