Whew…..it’s such a relief! One of my beloved kitties disappeared several years ago, and like you, we searched and hung flyers and desperately tried to find her. She was gone several days and then THERE SHE WAS at our back door! Oh the jubilation was amazing! Once we got her inside and got on the floor with her, we noticed a “musky” odor…..like an old garage smell, if you can imagine. Clearly, she had wandered into a shed or something and had been locked inside. She was a little thin, but other than that, she was her wonderful self. All that said……YAY!!!
