Pleuntje is back!!!!
Jenne, I hope you are feeling as good as I do now!
Last evening I received a phonecall from a man that told me he had seen a white cat somewhere, two times. And because he had seen my flyer he thought he should call me. And for the first time in these last four weeks I felt some kind of ‘believing this could be it’!
I went to see him and he showed me where it was. So this night I went there to sit there, it was 2.30 am pfff, with a pillowcover, snacks, light etc…everything needed to catch her…..
After two hours in which nothing happened I was so cold and bored that I decided to go home. But what I had not done until than was shine with my flashlight. I did not want to scare her off by doing that. But that moment before going home I thought I need to look first otherwise its stupid to go without checking that way. And there she was, my beautiful girl, hiding inside a worldwar 2 bunker I was sitting on the entire time, calling and whistling. As you said, she didn`t make a sound.
I put down the plate of food right in front of her and talk to her soothingly. She started to grown, that sounds like a cow. That means she`s a bit scared, so I backed away and sat myself down a little further from her. Than she came out of her hidingplace. First I thought she would run of. She didn`t touch the food but still growled. Than she walked towards me, I think she recognised me before I did her. This kitty is so much smaller, thinner, but after 4 weeks that`s normal.
She started to stroke her head against me, so much and miauwed but with a strange sound, not like I was used to from her. I talked to her and walked towards a bowl of dry food. From this she started to eat. Then she came back to me, clearly happy with my presence. At that time I thought about what I would do next. Stuff her in the pillowcover? I could easily pick her up, but for a short while than she resisted. But she did follow me when I walked away.
Jenne, She followed me all the way home, miauwing in her strange voice!!! I opened the door and I swear she remembered because she knew her way and walked right through. Next thing I did was check if it was really her by holding her underneath the scanner I have that is used to open the catdoor only to Babushka and Pleuntje. It peeped and I could be sure!
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I already thank you for your help? I don`t think so…..: THANK YOU!!!!!
A very happy Caroline and Pleuntje, Ooltgensplaat, the Netherlands
