My fiancee is moving back to St. Louis today. Her cat has been missing since 10:30 this morning (it's now 3:00 PM here). The move is already stressful enough for her, she doesn't do too well with major change; it doesn't help that she just left a great job in order to be with me. She was already stressed out about our wedding plans and the prospect of looking for a new job...man this is awful. It sucks not being there, I couldn't take off work, so I'm just trying to console her over the phone...
I think I might buy her that puppy I've been thinking about, sooner rather than later (if time goes by and the cat doesn't show up, that is)

hahaha, mr.d... i was worried about that, though obviously not enough to stop me.
hope your lady finds her cat, gramme.

wait a sec, is she actually going to leave without finding the cat? i can't imagine doing that, sorry. i've moved plenty of times and i know the stress, but she should stay & post flyers, contact the humane society, and check with all the neighbors before you just move on to a puppy without a second thought. no sympathy here.

(Jul 24 06, 14:45)That's a lot of assumptions there!
1. Yes, she has to leave as someone is moving into her apartment and she has a job interview here on Wednesday.
2. She has already made/posted fliers, which is why she left jsut now instead of six hours ago.
3. She has friends in her apartment complex who will keep looking for the cat.
4. We're not 'moving on to a puppy without a second thought'. We were planning on getting a dog eventually, and we'll keep hoping the cat turns up.
Geez, tough crowd...and for the record, I hate cats but love my fiancee. So I'm bummed for her sake. Last time I'll ever post something like this.

sorry for adding to your stress. i have found so many abandoned animals over the years and volunteered with rescue groups and I've seen how people move on and leave animals behind, it's just very sad...I just think I'd put all plans on hold, personally, and find a place to stay until i found my cat because it's more likely the cat would respond to her voice than to anyone else... But i hope your girlfriend finds her cat, sounds like she is trying to do so.

We didn't lose power at home or at the office, but it seems everybody else did. My fiancee's dad's office just got power back. I think something like 500 k people lost power. Coming from the East Coast, I can't believe how much the whole thing paralyzed this area.

you could really balance out your karma with the cat by getting a dog from a shelter rather than an inbred pure bred.
oh...and you'll go a long way with your fiance if house training isn't one of her new tasks. ;)
