However, when our guys are missing, you can never go through the grieving process because we are still looking for them hoping for a miracle. So I feel for me at least, I don't think about the what if's that could happen when their time comes as I do with the what if's that can happen if I open the door and let the guys run in the backyard without a leash on or someone standing out there with them, keeping an eye out. Reading on YT this is the way most of the little guys go missing. They are let out right before bath time and don't have on their collar, so no ID. They have been let out hundreds of times before this and no problem, but somehow a space gets in the fence somewhere, and they are so good to find it. Sorry to add a different view on this post, but believe me, a missing baby is just as gut wreching as losing one. I have done both.

...this is why I still cry over my 1st cat after so many years..someone must have taken her away, I couldn't find her
