Lost Kitty?

While we were gone on our trip, my Mom realized that she hadn't seen Aubrie's cat in awhile. Saturday, she looked all over the house and couldn't find her. She called me on Sunday and told me that she hadn't seen her, but I wasn't too worried about it because this has happened before. Well, Aubrie's cat has not returned and Aubrie is, in her own words, "heart broken". Tonight I had to lay down with her and rub her back and head until she fell asleep. She slipped a note in through our bedroom door that said, "Could one of you lay with me? I miss my cat and am heart broken. I don't think I will ever get over it, and it will take at least a week for me to stop crying." After that, I couldn't not go lay down with her.....so pathetic!:( This is the second cat we have lost this year. I'm beginning to think there are coyotes camping outside of our yard. I'm still praying that Maggie will return. She was so good for Aubrie. She slept with her every night, always came when she called her. She loved Aubrie so much. she would wait outside her bedroom every night while I read with Aubrie, and would run in and jump on her bed as I would leave. People say that cats aren't smart and that dogs are a mans best friend, but I beg to differ. She was amazing. For Aubrie's sake, I pray that she comes home!!!
