YAY!!! Oh I’m so glad! Silly kitty. Good on you for having him checked out by the vet, glad he’s in good shape. 
Hooray for happy endings!
I lost a lot of my stock pics in a computer meltdown. If he’s feeling up to it later, I will take some and post. Right now, kitty is sleeping. 
I was reading this thread, afraid to see where it ended. I’m glad you got the little furball back!
I suspect that somewhere in the back of little kitty mind, someone else is clearly to blame for him being lost in the first place!
Yay! This news made my morning!
Hooray! I’ve been following this thread, hoping for some good news. Congrats on the successful capture!
Yes, I’m feeling so much better myself. Thanks for posting the good news, QN.
Thank you for letting us know! I have been reading about Rex and wishing him a safe return. Give him a scritch from me
Don’t worry, he is practically overdosing on cuddles and scritches. He is just beside himself with happiness to be home. He got into bed with me at 5am, and couldn’t settle down. He tried approximately 127 different cuddle positions, and kneaded me almost to death. I think the switch on his purr machine is stuck in the “on” position.
Question: It’s been 14 hours, and he hasn’t peed yet. Does anyone know if I should be worried? He has had a fair bit of water.
Ahhhh, I’m so glad he’s home safe.
Yay, he’s home!
His weight loss may be as much attributed to dehydration as to lack of food. I wouldn’t worry about his not urinating unless it went on longer. Could you give the vet another call, to ask the question?
excellent!!! i’m so glad to hear he is home. both of you sound very happy to be back together.
OK, I feel weird updating to talk about this, but Rex finally did pee sometime in the wee hours this morning. It was a mixed blessing, though, because he loves to throw litter when he gets to go in a fresh, clean box. So he threw half the contents of the box onto my bedroom carpet, and then came bounding back into bed, demanding cuddles. He’s lucky he’s so cute.
Pics when I get a free moment–probably Friday or Saturday.
Yay! So happy for you.
We lost Cookie Monster for a few hours a couple of months ago - a houseguest left the back door open - and it was awful. She had gotten out of the garden and was too stupid to come back. We were very lucky that her eyes shone in the flashlight we were using, and she was too scared to move, so we were able just to pick her up. It’s a horrible feeling.
The peeing thing was probably nerves. Cookie can’t pee when we’re travelling anywhere - she’ll hold it for up to 24 hours.
Awesome news! (well I mean baout the cat returning and well, I guess about the peeing). Have you considered one of those covered litter boxes. We have one like this (Booda Dome).
His usual box keeps him from tossing stuff over the side (mostly), but I had to buy a cheap litter pan for him while he’s confined in my bedroom, away from his sister. And cheapo pan is shallow. I won’t be using it anymore, once this is all over. Now that he’s widdled, I am going to reintroduce them soon.
Like there’s a better time?
