My missing indoor cat started out one day while mowing the lawn, i noticed this huge hawk that ive never seen before hanging in my tree.....he was so big i was going to stop mowing to go grab my camera but since i had plans for the afternoon and my yard takes 3 hrs to mow i kept at it. This was on a weekend, and when monday came my cats where out on the front porch where they like to lay in the sun and when i went to let them in only one was there....hmmmmm. I looked everywhere. I needed to head off to work so when i returned i then checked in the house, in closets, under beds etc..thinking i would find her, nope. Then i noticed the hawk gone, my cat is gone now....bingo, hawk must have swooped in in her Everyday for a week i would walk the fields, the woods, search in trees....nothing, not even remains. After 7 days i pretty much gave up my daily search. 11 days into her missing, one late evening i hear this pawing and frantic meowing at my front door, thinking i forgot the one cat left outside i open the door expecting to see remaining cat. To my surprise theres Topaz's face !!!!!!!! the missing/dead cat !!!!! I'm like wtf ! she looked good, although i could feel her back bone/spine pretty lumpy. She slept with me that night and in the morning i left for work. When i got home i decided to groom her...being careful as when i had checked her out i ded finf talon marks on her shoulders that after 11 days were scabbed over, but one of the combs tines broke open one of her wounds, ugh, white crap kept oooozing out, brought her to vet....she was severly dehydrated with a high temp. they cleaned out her wound, hooked her up with fluids etc... Topaz has returned to great health and most of all......she's home !!!! This is where wouldnt it had been great to have had a go-pro camera on her ?? Did the hawk bring her far away and when he landed to eat her up she then got away ? was she too heavy for him and dropped her ? Where did she hide all this time while her wounds healed ? She now has 8 more lives to GO !!!!
