This really has been a terrible week for those I love and care about.  First, my sister, who works at a convenient store, got robbed at gunpoint.  She's okay and not terribly shaken about it but I found it extremely distressing.  A day later, my brother was laid off from his job in New York.  He's got unemployment insurance but I worry him immensely.  Now, two days later, my cat, Sassy, winds up missing.  She was let out alone to wander around the yard for 15 minutes around 5 AM this morning and hasn't shown up yet.  She's an indoor cat who's easily terrified of people, so I can't imagine she'd go far.  We searched up and down the neighborhood but couldn't find her anywhere.  She's been missing for about four hours now.

I'm hoping and praying she'll show up at the door, scratching at it any moment now. I loved that cat.

This is just too painful.

FURBALL FILLED UPDATE

Things just got a whole lot brighter.  I left the door open all morning and Sassy just walked right in, shortly after the mailman stopped by!

I grabbed that cat and nearly crushed her, I was hugging her so hard.  She looked at me like I was deranged.  True, I always look like that but she was particularly suprised this time.  It's amazing how you can take things for granted, that things can seem so dark but, with a little patience and hope, they can turn around at a moment notice.  

One of the sweetest joys in the universe is one of relief.  There's nothing like seeing somebody or something you care about (a loved family member, a beloved pet) come back home safe and sound against great uncertainty.

I'd like to thank everybody who posted supportive comments.  I'm humbled and grateful.

I love that cat, even if she did destroy my scanner. :)

I used to work alone in this comic shop, and even though we didn't have a ton of money in the register I was always terrified of being held up. I can't imagine how your sister felt and I hope she is holding up okay!! Thank goodness she wasn't harmed!

I am also glad that your cat returned home safe and sound. Silly thing!

Thanks for the supportive comment! My sister's doing fine. She doesn't seem that shaken up by the whole thing. Me, I don't know what I would have done.

Sorry to hear about so much mess happening all at once. At least you got your kitty back, though; I can imagine that was pretty stressful. I don't know what I would do if I lost my dogs, I love the little monsters. ;)

Seriously, hope things take a positive turn for you & yours.

I'm so happy that you got your cat back! As an co-owner (my sister is the other half) of two dogs I can only imagine the terror. In fact a few years back one of our dogs ran out of the house when the door was open and managed to traverse around the whole town scared out of his mind and amazingly we got him back.

It is incredible how you can be having an absolute crap day and as soon as you see your pet it makes you feel all better.

Thanks for the support. Dogs and cats do seem to possess amazing homing beacons that allow them to pin point your home with great accuracy.
