I am Pleased to Announce:

Our wayfaring cat has been returned to us, safe and sound.

Just yesterday I was having the hardest time grasping that Cap'n Jack might be gone. I've expected to see him pop out from under a shrub or from behind a chair or from up a tree for a month now. And I had this huge grief over him that I couldn't let go of, because we never knew what happened. With Stones, that was so very final; I held him in my arms as the doctor euthanized him and that grief, although incredibly huge, had an end to it.

This didn't. And now I know why.

The people who found him have had him and been feeding and sheltering him for about a week, maybe a little more (he's still not telling me where he was the other 3 weeks). They were so nice and unlike the other people who've seen a grey cat and I had to go and wonder whether or not it might be him, I knew this was Jack the moment I saw him.

He hated all four minutes of the car ride home, by the way. That's my boy.

I am SO HAPPY for you! The Prodigal Kitty returns! I had said a prayer for you and I'm glad all the prayers and good energy that were sent out were answered, finally!

Dear Cap'n Jack:

You gave your mum many hours of heartache and worry and her LJ friends were worried, too. Jack, you were a VERY naughty boy kitty to worry us all like that! Your name should be "Weasley!" Or "Sirius!" You should know better than to go gallivanting off and mooch off the neighbors.

Stay home like a good kitty from now on!
