{{{juliebird}}} God, that's tough.

Should I also check local vets in case someone picked her up?

I think that's a good idea, and you can also call the local shelter and let them know she's missing. But I wouldn't give up just yet - cats do this. There is every chance she's holed up somewhere nearby and will pop up at the door soon.

Hugs to you both.

Juliebird, I'm sorry to hear your cat has gone off and I hope she comes home to you soon. Meanwhile be good to yourself.

{{{juliebird}}} I hope you find her very soon.

Juliebird, don't give up hope, she's probably just found another nook somewhere. My friend's cat, who had never been outside before, got out and went missing for two weeks once, and was found in the basement stairwell of a house a couple of doors down.

Good luck.

Are you sure he is not inside. I once called my mother in hysterics because I couldn't find my cat-- I was sure I had let him out. It turned out I locked him in the attic!

Also, cats do do that and you should call the shelter, vets, and maybe ask your apartment neighbors. Maybe she went into someone else's house.

Thanks, everone. I really need all the positive vibes I can get right now, because I've been crying off and on ever since I got home.

What really made me lose hope is that the black and white tom that's always beating them up is still here. So why take my Ply and leave the tom? So I have this horrible feeling that maybe my next door neighbors did something.

I just need to remind myself of my parents cat that disappeared in the middle of a blizzard and showed up the next spring all fat and happy and smelling of a woodstove.

call the local shelter and let them know she's missing

that's a good idea that I hadn't thought of, thanks, brenda.

Are you sure [s]he is not inside.

I definitely scooted her butt out the door the other morning. But I have checked all the closets and under the kitchen sink and under the bed (it's a very small apartment), even though whenever I come home, and she's in, she always rouses herself for a massage. She doesn't care about the wet food like Nunya does (screams for it when I walk in the door, brat), she just always wants touch.

Timelies all!

Come-home-soon-ma for your cat, Juliebird.

Pete -it's amazing how many Seattle nurseries have websites and yet - don't list the plants that they carry. I guess stock can change so quickly. But I would suspect that houseplant season is year round. Sky Nursery which is in Shoreline (don't know where that is) has a nice list of good air cleaning houseplants:

Yes, we seem to have a lot of companies that were excited to get on TEH INTERNETZ and then did sod all with their site. ETA: Of course, I could include myself in that description. ahem.

Anyway, I figured asking Plei is the smart option because she's usually just so damn clued in about these things.

Juliebird, I hope she comes home.

Pete, Sky (across from a certain Fred Meyer that I'm sure you're familiar with) should have it. I don't really do house plants, but their selection is good.
