Missing

We've had some extreme weather lately, and a couple of days after the really bad storm last week (not the night of the storm), almost all of the cats just seemed to disappear.

Over the last couple of days most of the cats have reappeared and they all seem ok, though sort of spooked. Hansel, for example, still spends most of her time on the roof now. And when she comes down to eat, she stares down the driveway at the street, scared.

But two of the cats still have not shown up: Mouse and Dina. Both of them have lived here since they were kittens and are now pretty old ... 10+ years ... and Mouse has a permanent limp. I'm afraid something has happened to them. Here are Mouse and Dina, who look a lot alike ...

I'm afraid some bad thing, person or animal, came down the driveway during the night, sacring all the cats, and did away with Dina and Mouse. There are a number of unsavory people hanging around in the neighborhood lately, and there have also been coyote sightings around here and they are known to have killed and eaten cats. I'm so worried about Mouse and Dina :(

I'm sorry they have gone missing! Hopefully they are still alive and will come back. I wonder what scared them!

Thanks, Katherine. It's been almost a week and all the others have come back but still not them. I'm worried that whatever it was will happen again.

Maybe wild animals of some kind?

There have been coyote sightings around here and reports of them killing cats.
