Has not been seen for over 24 hours.
Which would be fine, if he wasn't 17 years old, and suddenly so skinny and his hair has gotten all horrible. He is also a bit barmy.
He has always looked much younger than his age, and so it seems like he got horribly old over night - so much so that on Wednesday I had a delegation appear at my door from the business behind us who were concern he was sick.
Why haven't we taken him to the vet you ask? Well because he is really old. And cats get skinny and their hair falls out and they basically get exactly like Clawed when they get old. And he has not been in any pain or anything, so what was the point? He undoubtedly has stuff going wrong with him, but I thought until he seemed unwell or there was an actual reason, no point to put him through it - he loathes going to the vet.
But he didn't turn up yesterday afternoon, and I haven't seen him all day. So after the wookie and I got the small down we went on a bit of a hunt, but we haven't spotted him. I am a bit worried, because next door is abandoned, so we can't actually get around to really have a look. And I hate the idea of him being sick or dying alone. My poor fella.
I have this horrible feeling that he has gone off to die, and we won't ever find him, or he has wandered off and can't find his way back, cause he has gotten lost.
Hope I am wrong. really really hope I am wrong.
