I set to work creating a leaflet which I hoped would lead to Hazel being found by someone locally.
It didn’t feel like it would be successful and I was preparing for life without her, but doing something was better that doing nothing.
At times like this one tends to question their actions, not only in terms of what could be done, but also what could have been done.
Of course, there’s no point in ruminating on past mistakes- the steps I could take now to try and get her back were all that mattered.
And so I went off and printed out those leaflets.
Little did I know how little they would matter ..read more

It was now Sunday morning.
Hazel had been gone for at least two whole days and a night.
It was time to take further action.
Having not been in this situation before, I looked online for advice.
Some of this advice included leaving pungent food in favoured spots and checking sheds and garages.
But we’d already tried attracting her with the promise of food and she certainly wasn’t residing in a shed or garage.
It was time to take further action.
So what could have happened?
Well, she’d been either taken or was trapped somewhere.
She could have been injured in some way too perhaps or involved in ..read more

The end of summer heading into autumn was a relatively quiet time.
Hazel seemed to her enjoy her newfound, albeit limited, freedom and her urine issues ‘dried up.’
But in late October, she went missing.
Not Returning
Hazel had taken a shine to the outside world.
This can be problematic if you intend for your Bengal to primarily be a house cat. Dr Yuki Hattori mentions in his book ‘What Cats Want’, that many cats who experience the outside world will then relentlessly demand to be let out.
In Hazel’s case, this took the form of miaowing and pawing at the relevant exits.
This particular day sta ..read more
