I know it probably sounds stupid, but I'm a bit devo.

One of the strays, the little calico hasn't come to eat for the last 2 days and didn't see her today either.

I've gotten a bit attached to these guys and I think I need to take a little step back emotionally.

:(

I didn't expect to get so attached tbh man. Tougher than I expected.

There was a dad and 2 kids about 2 weeks ago that came to see what I was doing and they said she looked exactly like their cat that ran away but they didn't think it was her.

Hopefully they came and got her and she's having a chill inside life now.

Know exactly what your going through.

I'll bet thats whats happened. They took her to get the microchip and it WAS her. Or the dads gone "You know what, i "think" its her she needs to come inside".

I reckon so as well. She's quite friendly so hopefully she's living her best life indoors ❤️

Can you maybe get a little camera to see if she’s around when you aren’t out there?

Or maybe ask around to see if they came and got her (if it’s safe to approach people)

It's understandable, you get attached to these little fellas
