    Ask your neighbors to check any place he might have gotten
    accidentally shut in, like a garage, basement, or shed.  This is what
    usually happens to outdoor cats who go missing.  Please
    check the local shelters as soon as possible (some keep cats only
    a few days) and be sure to ask to see the sick or dead animals as well.
    Don't reply on a phone check with the shelters, go there in person,
    as there are so many animals that descriptions are not
    dependable.  Or possibly the animal control officer or police have a list
    of found animals.  Post notices on telephone poles in the neighborhood
    and leave copies with people for several blocks around and
    send them to local vets' offices.
    
    (I think that by 24 hours he was over the results of the shot.)
    
    Please let us know how things are going.
    

    Tell the kids in the neighborhood. They know every nook and cranny
    and every animals for miles around. Ask the kids if they will also
    talk to the kids at school.
    
    Let us know how things are going.
    
    Hope he shows up soon.

    Oh no! I hope he comes home soon! When Percy went missing I made up
    some posters and put them every where - local shop, petrol station,
    my windows etc. I posted leaflets through the doors of all the houses
    in the area. I serched *EVERYWHERE*!! Check out the neighbours sheds
    and basements. Asking the local children to keep a look out is a very
    good idea. 
    
    I hope he shows up soon - I know how you feel. Please let us know
    as soon as you have any news.
    
    
    Good Luck!

    You might want to post a reward too - say $25.  That will especially
    motivate the kids.
    

    Can imagine what you must be going through.
    
    I hope that Sean returns to you soon, keep us posted!

    One day I had burner repairman here.  After he left, I couldn't find
    Benjamin.  You guessed it - he had climbed into the repair truck!  
    
    The repairman was driving down the highway, and suddenly Benj crawled
    onto his lap!  Was he shocked!
    
    Anyway, this story might give you some leads - perhaps he crawled into
    the open door of someone's car??
    
    Good luck; I know it's agony when they're gone.

    Any news yet?
    
    Lisa plus Pookie.
    

    Thanks so much for all of your advice.  We tried everything that was
    suggested, but still no Sean.  I just can't imagine what has happened
    to him.  My daughter now is asking for a new kitten.  I still hope that
    he somehow finds his way home.  

    Don't give up hope yet! My daughter had an indoor only cat that
    got out in the middle of winter, in a storm that was followed by
    several days of sub-zero temps. After 2 weeks we gave up and got
    another cat. The day after the new kitty arrived her first cat came
    back!.

    Yes, don't give up! Keep looking! I know how much it *HURTS* when 
    your cat goes missing. Please let us know when you find him!

    sometimes outdoor cats have two homes.. i.e. another home they
    occasionally visit..  I think its kind of like a backup, in case
    something happens to their regular food supply!
    
    I had a cat about 10 yrs. ago who used to visit with someone else
    on a regular basis!!  if you alert the neighborhood, theres a chance
    you could find him in someone elses house!
    
    Good luck

    We haven't heard from you in awhile....have you any news about Sean?
    
    Worried...but still hoping that he's found safe and sound!

    We still haven't heard from Sean.  I never thought I would miss him
    as much as I have.  My daughter was very anxious to get another cat
    that we adopted a 9-month old male from this file.  He's a black and
    white long hair who is VERY friendly.  Shannon and he get along very
    well and she loves playing tag games with him.  Kapi is still a 
    little suspicious, but the introductory period went very smoothly.  
    As long as he leaves her alone, she doesn't even care if he is around.
    She remains her aloof self.  
    
    Shannon made a startling conclusion the other day.  She heard about 
    another cat in our immediate neighborhood that has disappeared.  He is
    also black and white.  As a matter of fact when we first moved in we
    used to let this other cat in thinking that he was Sean.  Then another 
    neighbor told her his black and white cat disappeared last year.  Not
    wanting to over react, I asked her to find out how many other cats have
    disappeared that were not black and white.  I'm usually not suspicious,
    but this does seem to be strange.  What do you think?
    
    In the meantime, Tyson (our new cat) will stay inside and play with
    Kapi.
    

    I hope you find him soon. Perhaps he and sneakers have been out on a
    wild night together and they'll both come home soon! I'm worrying
    for you too!

    There are an unusually high number of black and white cats in
    New England so this may just be coincidence.  I hope so.

    	I hope Sean comes home soon.  I was lucky, my Sneakers just
    came back last night.  'Tis the season for Tomcat prowling, so with
    any luck at all Sean's just out having a good time and will return
    when he gets hungry/thirsty enough.  Our prayers are with you and
    Sean!
    
    Bob, Smoke, Nova, and the recently arrived Sneakers
    

    Thanks for your concerns.  I still have hope that Sean will come home.
    I once had a cat that was stuck in a neighbor's attic for a month!  She 
    survived on mice (ugh) 
    
    Bob's note about Sneakers really threw me.  The other cat in my 
    neighborhood who disappeared last week was named Sneakers.  He also
    just returned home.  We saw him on his back steps this morning.  But
    Bob doesn't live in Tyngsboro.  

    re: .last
    
    Must've been a Sneakers' convention this week.  That explains it.
    
    
    Anyway, our thoughts are with you and Sean.  Best of luck.

    Sneakers always come in pairs.

    Hi!
    
    I hope I am not 'bugging' you - but was wondering if you had any news
    about Sean?
    
    Marilyn
    

    Thanks for asking.  No we still have not heard anything from Sean.
    Only time will tell now.  Thanks for your support.

    I am so sorry to hear that Sean hasn't shown up - doesn't sound good,
    does it?
    
    Keep the faith - sometimes they do miraculously 'show up' - I'll keep
    hoping the best for you and your family.
    
    How is your daughter fairing with the new 'kitten'?
