Scooby Doo where are you?
Scooby Doo was last seen on Friday morning, when he exited the garage to eat his breakfast. Since then we have not heard him meow once. I know I have offered on more than one occasion to post Scooby Doo to a good home (or even a bad home) but we are missing him and his crazy antics. We have called him and searched the vineyards, but he is nowhere to be seen.
Scooby Doo
Mrs Sensible is convinced he is no longer with us, as in maybe he has gone to the cat heaven. Luigina, the nice old lady who lives next door, suggested he may have moved house again, she pointed out to me that “Scooby Doo used to live across the road, maybe he is now living further up the road”
I told Mrs Sensible that Luigina thinks Scooby is still alive, but just living with someone else. Mrs Sensible said “maybe he has moved back home” “What across the road with the Hounds from the Baskervilles!! highly unlikely I said.
Nice cuddly friendly cat loving dogs. AKA Hounds from the Baskervilles
Mrs Sensible is going to go and ask the neighbors across the street, if they have abducted seen their cat. I am sure it will be an interesting conversation, because at some point she is going to have to tell them, that their cat has been living in our garage for around 4 months.
Gilda, the short legged but incredibly fat dog was also questioned. We know she has a habit of eating anything that is left lying around. She is the only dog I know that can eat a yard of grass and not barf afterwards.
The only reason her stomach is not touching the floor, is because she breathed in when she saw the camera.
So, on a more serious note. Have you seen the cat that lives across the road our cat.

If Scooby Doo has left home, it solves the problem of kidnapping him when we move house in June. We have been trying to think of a way to tell her real owners that their cat likes living with us and we want to take him to our new house.
If I know Scooby Doo, he has found a warmer garage.

Somebody may have accidentally locked him in… happens all the time. Let’s hope he escapes. Although, I do see your point re. upcoming house move.
Gilda reminds me of the dog I grew up with and loved so much… though he was a tad trimmer 😉

I think most dogs are a tad trimmer than Gilda. There are only around 12 houses on our road, so I might send Mrs Sensible door to door.
He has disappeared before, but normally only for 24 hours. We are a bit worried 😦 Even though he is not really our cat.

I hope he turns up…

hopefully scooby/scabby returns soon. if not, i am going to imagine that he is living on a farm with green rolling hills and lot of mice and no dogs. or he has upgraded to another garage nearby.

It is strange that he has disappeared, we feed him, the garage is warm and Gilda stopped chasing him from the garden.
We keep shouting his name out the window every so often.

Wow, really!!
I have been packing boxes ready for the move.We don’t officially move until June, but we will have the Keys in April, so I have started.
Maybe he has gone off in search of lodgings! He will have heard Mrs Sensible and I discussing whether we should / could take him with us.

Oh no! I think Gilda looks suspect and may have eaten your scabby white cat. Wishing for a safe return.

MMM, Gilda does look guilty doesn’t she. Mind you she is always guilty of some misdemeanor.
I wonder if Scooby Doo has taken offence at being called a Scabby White Cat and decided to move house.

He is quiet quick on his feet. Gilda couldn’t catch him, I missed him with the broom after he scratched me, so I doubt a fox or a car caught him.

Hey, I am trying to help some English teachers here who have had some trouble concerning an English competition here. One of the issues was the use of the word fable as the root for the word fabulous. I never knew they were connected til now. Is that news to you? I know it is not a normal use in American English. It seems as if the test was written unfairly to trick the students, and maybe have been given to some in advance to peruse. I am going to write to them after I look into it more and get answers from you and other UK English speakers in case it is just my poor American English. Thanks in advance!

I have just asked Mrs Sensible and she said Fable, without any hesitation, but then she is Italian and sensible and very clever.
I have only been learning English for 52 years, and I didn’t have a clue.
I would complain and stamp my feet because it was obviously a trick question.
PS I will be back in bloggo land next week, I have been very busy this month.

Oh no. Poor PN. I could tell you had fallen for Scooby Doo’s charms. Rattling the food bowl brings mine back, but it depends how far he’s gone. I think that it’s “cat on heat” period, so if he’s not had the chop then he may have gone off to hunt down an italian kitty to serenade. Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be back soon.

Cats are perceptive and Scooby Doo is no ordinary cat. Perhaps it is as Beth pointed out that he has realised you are moving and moved on himself. The Diva knows when we are packing for a holiday because she keeps jumping into our bags and laying there and then following us around. Maybe Scooby Doo has done the same.
I hope he comes back because I think he’s found a place in your heart 🙂

Have hope. My grown daughter has a cat named Sugar who skipped out the door in the middle of Canadian winter. She was frantic. We put up posters all over the neighborhood. There was much searching, calling, pestering folks in the search. My daughter gave up hope about week three ( I gave. Up hope day three thinking the wee feline was an furry Popsicle) and on week four gave away all the cat equipment. Easter morning , now into week five, she received a call that someone one block away spied her cat. She was skinny, dirty and smelly and found under a neighbour’s deck. No less than the resurrection. 🙂
