[QUOTE=Ms. Pumpkin]  
UPDATE: After being who knows where for over a week, she came home!! Around 1 a.m. I thought I heard her distinctive “mrrrew?” And sure enough, there she was at the back door! She is awfully thin, and she has a couple small scratches that are pretty much healed(no inflammation or anything), but she is eating ravenously and prancing about and purring like there’s no tomorrow! Judging by the amount of time she’s spent on my lap/flopping on her back at my feet/headbutting me, I’d say she’s just as happy to be home as I am to have her back. 🙂

Here’s our [Ranger](http://www.fotolog.com/bwanabob/31464654). Despite the name, Ranger is a “she”. She is also 17 years old.
