ELLIE CAME HOME! 2 months missing

[CorgiPaws]

Thanks everyone! I was half expecting to be blasted for her having gotten out in the first place.

I woke up to Ellie on my pillow. I probably wouldn't have woken up, but I couldn't stand the stink, so I got up and gave her a bath. What a crappy welcome home for a cat, but it had to happen. I am taking her in later today to be vet checked. She is seriously obese (NEVER was before!) if I didn't know she is spayed, I'd half suspect she's pregnant, but I know she can't be.

I'm just so dang glad she's home, and in perfect timing for Christmas, too!

I'm so glad you found her safe again. I had a dog disappear when I was a kid and it's a horrible feeling to not know what has happened to them.

I'd have them check her microchip while she's at the vets, just to make sure it hasn't shifted horribly out of position or quit working entirely (can that happen?).

Give her lots of hugs from all of us!

She's probably been eating Friskies or the Wal-mart brand of food.. that stuff bulks up cats like there's no tomorrow!

Or sitting around smoking and eating potato chips....

Vet check went well. She's healthy, but my vet also couldn't believe how fat she was! Fecal and urine came back clean, so no worms or anything like that. Just... fat. Fat fat brown cat.

Happy reunion! About the weight gain-- this is a little different scenario, but when I had my Lab many years ago I had to leave him with my dog-walker as I was traveling out of town for a few days. When I came back, he had ballooned up at least 5 or 6 pounds.

I should have known: this woman LOVED to cook, especially with very fatty cuts of meat. She made a couple of trips (with Luke in tow) to the butcher (who fed him scraps), and then went home and cooked ham, bacon, sausages, roasts... did I mention bacon... and fed Luke a LOT of these greasy things along with his ordinary food.

When I went to pick him up, my jaw dropped. "How could this happen, in just 4 days?!" She told me what she did, and then just admitted that she couldn't resist his pleading eyes, and the drool.

Okay. As much as they loved each other, he did not stay with her after that!

Thank goodness Ellie is home.
Now the family is complete again!
