Dublin didn’t end up outdoors because he seized an opportunity to escape. A door didn’t blow open (though that has happened to us before). A window screen didn’t fall out. He didn’t slip out around our legs. He’s not a cat that wears a lead and harness—though that would be cool. He’s never had an… Continue reading Shoulder Cat

Home Day 3
We caught up on our Saturday YouTube videos today with Dublin hanging out on the couch. He kneads far more often than he used to before he went missing. He’s also smelling less like skunk. Also, he’s definitely catching up on sleep (we all are ;)) We’ve treated him for fleas, ticks and worms with… Continue reading Home Day 3
Home Day 2
As I type away on this update, Dublin is curled up on my arm, purring away. He’s happy to be home, we’re happy he’s home. Would the streets change him? When Dublin was missing, there were so many worries. One of the worries was some kind of traumatic event would change his personality. I was… Continue reading Home Day 2
Home Day 1
Dublin is home:, Day 1 🥹 Early start today. Dublin woke me up at 4am this with a loud, panicked meow. Roughly translated. “CHRIS, WHERE ARE YOU?!” Hello friends, today would have been lost day 12, instead, it’s home day 1. I had already started day 12’s update yesterday (read it at the bottom of… Continue reading Home Day 1
Dublin Is Home
Dublin? (that tiny meow) Friends, it brings me no finer joy than to let you know that after 11 days lost in the wilderness that is Chateau Estates (and without a single confirmed sighting!) I found Dublin at 7:20pm June 25th. He was just 116m (381ft) from home in the direction that he ran off.… Continue reading Dublin Is Home
Day 11
tl;dr; Still no sightings We saw a lot of things, but no Dublin. Another day, another walk about shaking a treat bag. It was bloody hot yesterday so our walk was later in the evening than usual. We spotted 3 skunks, it’s amazing how quickly a skunk can disappear in an impossibly small crack under… Continue reading Day 11
Day 10
tl;dr; no sightings. this is getting old, cat. come home. We had a visitor last night, this is either Salem or Simon, two black cats that live 2 houses away. I have more confidence that the camera detection works for cats. One of them recorded nothing, though. 🤨 We walked the entire neighbourhood last night… Continue reading Day 10
Day 9
tl;dr; still nothing it rained yesterday. We managed to get a walk in, not a single cat was spotted. Even the cats that like to be outside weren’t outside. Nothing but bugs on the camera footage last night. Weekends without Dublin suck. He is our YouTube snug bug, keeping us company while we catch up… Continue reading Day 9
Day 8 June 22
tl;dr; still no sightings We had a false alarm yesterday for a cat in the 60-90 area of Heritage. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a call for this cat on the same street. He’s friendly, but in a “you come to me” kind of way. Added this boy to the “Not Dublin” gallery.… Continue reading Day 8 June 22
Day 7 June 21
tl;dr;🥺 One week, no confirmed sightings. This milestone sucks. An unfamiliar cat was spotted outside of the area we’ve been mostly looking.An unfamiliar cat with white markings may have been spotted at a stray shelter nearby Maybe Dublin sprinted until he couldn’t anymore and is much further away than we think. As always, we thank… Continue reading Day 7 June 21
