Missing Violet

Our little cat, Violet, has been missing for over a week. She is well-known at the post animal shelter, and when she goes missing we typically expect a call from them on the next business day. But we haven't been so lucky this time. She is micro-chipped so we are at a loss for why she hasn't already been identified. We are all worried about her well-being and hoping for her eventual return home. Last night Olivia said "I just hope she is fed and watered." Our big cat, Tiger, has seemed depressed without his friend and didn't eat much for the first few days after she went missing.





















I know that pets come and go, but pets for us have always been part of the family and have been with us for their whole life. One evening when I was crying about Violet, Faith suggested we make a sign that said "If you see our cat, Violet, please send her home." She drew a cute picture of Violet with big ears and big claws. This was hard to see after she drew "fur" on top of the cat, but it was a sweet gesture and helped me feel better.

Violet is a precocious but sweet little cat. We got her two years ago from friends who had a stray cat give birth to her litter at their house. Violet was the littlest and she is still so petite. Paul named her Violet after The Incredibles big sister. Olivia really bonded with her, and she has been Faith's best toy.

Because Violet gets away so often, we have hope that perhaps she'll get away from wherever she is now and either come home or be given to the animal shelter. We pray for Violet and miss her very much.
