| Have you asked your neighbors to especially check any place Spaz might
have accidentally gotten shut in, like a garage, basement or storage
shed?
Also, recheck the animal shelters frequently (like, every day). Around
here, the shelters recommend that you visit in person, because descriptions
over the phone are somewhat difficult if they have a lot of cats, or
they might have a volunteer who is not very knowlegable about cats
and confusion happens.
Yes, it is not unusual for a resident cat with access to the outdoors
to run away when a new cat is introduced. My neighbors' cat
disappeared for two weeks under such circumstances. You may find that
Spaz is lurking nearby. It's a good idea to keep the resident cats
indoors for a few weeks until the cats adjust to each other.
Please let us know what is happening.

2977.2 | What & where? | STAR::CHARRON | | Mon Oct 23 1989 17:44 | 11 |
| Re: .0
What general vicinity are you located in? Can you provide a
description of Spaz?
I live in a wooded area of Southern NH and have one of those
houses that "lost cats" seem to "find". If that's in your radius, I'll
keep a lookout.

| Just in case Spaz is lurking around, put some food out on the steps
and then keep an eye on it. Just because someone's eating it doesn't
mean its Spaz so have a look every now and then. Maybe you'll catch
him. And if you do, keep him in until he adjust to the new cat.
BTW - Isis spent the first three days we had Dundee bapping him
on the head with her paw and did the same thing the day the poor
little guy came home from being neutered. And they're the best
of friends now.

2977.4 | I'll try anything | SALEM::BAILEY_K | | Tue Oct 24 1989 12:22 | 30 |
| RE: .1
We checked all the neighbors. One has three huge barns and we went
right through them all (nice way to meet the new neighbors!). We
also put fliers in all the mailboxes around for about a mile in every
direction with a description and phone number and offering a $100
reward. We've also walked around in the woods near the house
calling him.
My sister-in-law is home today and she's going to call all the shelters
and vets again. Good idea.
RE: .2
Spaz was lost in Candia NH (near Raymond, Auburn, and Hooksett).
We live near the Charmingfare Golf course and Goff Chevrolet.
Spaz is a 5-year old, neutered, male orange tabby with copper eyes
and a pink freckled nose. He weighs about 14 pounds (not fat,
just big), and was wearing awhite flea collar.
RE: .3
I put some food out this morning and asked my sister-in law to look
out for him.

Thanks everyone - I'll let you know what happens.

2977.5 | Local Police.... | AIMHI::SJOHNSON | | Tue Oct 24 1989 12:23 | 9 |
| You might also call the police dept if you haven't already. They can
be very responsive also as they have a Animal Control Office. I have
had pretty good luck w/ them in Merrimack, NH.
Where are you located? I'll keep my eye out if it's near here.
I hope you find him. I had the same thing happen about 4 or 5 months
ago. To find out 2 days later that my poor Kitty was trapped inside
our covered boat!

| Did you say Candia? Better check Elaine's house :^) !!
Seriously though, any cat who is lost in Candia will eventually
show up at E.T.'s inn. If you are a cat, that is *the* place to
be!!
I hope you find Spaz. Please keep us updated as you're doing.

2977.8 | send mail ! | PENPAL::TRACHMAN | ExoticSH=Persian in Underwear | Tue Oct 24 1989 13:35 | 7 |
| Yes,
Where exactly in Candia do you live? I"m about 1.5 miles from Goff's
- off of 43 North. I'll keep an eye out for Spaz - maybe send
me mail with your phone number and address in case I spot him

2977.9 | possibly? | GIGI::GOLDBERG | | Tue Oct 24 1989 13:37 | 12 |
|
I don't recall if someone said this already, but..
Maybe call the vets? Some people find lost cats and will bring
them to the vets, thinking they will remember or know of the cat..
*Sometimes* the vet may keep it for a few days..
Good luck!!
