In the span of 9 months, we have lost a total of 4 cats.
#1st Case
My seven-year-old Persian, Tau Tau went missing overnight in August 2012. We believe he was taken from the roof of one of our cars where he loved to sit and sleep at night.
Our missing kitties. :(
Tau Tau, my furry companion, missing since August 2012.
#2nd Case
We adopted two tabby kittens: Dewey (Orange) & Elle (Grey) in September 2012. In February, on Valentine's Day, Dewey went missing. He usually goes out to do his business and comes back in the mornings. But he never appeared.
Dewey and Elle were kind, gentle souls who wouldn't hurt a fly. Who would harm them?
#3rd Case
Faith, a black & white kitten, was adopted in March 2013 (LAST MONTH). She was with us for barely a month, and then she went missing.

#4th Case
This is not a case of disappearing cats, but a case of CAT ABUSE. Elle is a vivacious kitten, not afraid to use her claws when needed. Two weeks ago, she had her dinner and went out to the porch as usual. Ten minutes later, she limped into the house and lay motionless on the mat. We sensed something was wrong and rushed her to the vet. Her stomach was smashed and we suspect internal injuries due to abuse, kicking or beating. She didn't make it. How did the perpetrator manage to catch and abuse her in such a short amount of time (10 minutes)?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD? I've always believed that we lived in a neighbourhood that was safe enough to have cats roaming free. But apparently, not. We have our suspicions of inhumane neighbours kidnapping our kittens (we have no idea WHY), or catnappers going about some funny business. Whatever it is, we have to get to the bottom of this.
Please let me know if you have any solutions/suggestions on how to go about this. I'm sick of cats going missing - it's heartbreaking. I really really hope they will return some day, but the chances seem bleak. However, this is not going to deter me from having cats - they have always been a part of my life and will always be.
