For the last eight years Ella has been part of our family. She came to us in the first week we moved to Perth and accompanied us here to Orange County. She has been Daniel's constant companion all that time, usually sleeping with him on, or in his bed.
Unfortunately, 4 weeks ago at about 9pm on Sunday night, Ella wanted to go outside. She didn't come back in that night and we haven't seen her since.Around that time we did see 3 or 4 posters on lamp posts around our neighborhood for missing cats. Also, there had been warnings of Coyote sightings in the area. I guess it's time to accept the obvious and say goodbye.
Not all that long ago, I got these shots of her lounging on a ledge outside our house. I think she was really enjoying living here. Ella is, and will be missed.

it's a sad day when ur hairy friend goes away... the b00f™ still misses tOny!
the b00f™ and his bro Dan had a similar experience when Norbert (otherwise known as Norb, stinky or Chicken - cause he was a scaredy cat!) did a dissappearing act. He was a funny little bugger and there hasn't been a cat since - although the batcats, Batman and Robin have been a constant source of fun, stinkyness and hair... it took 2 little furry stinky noisy annoying rodent like creatures to make up for the one Norb!
Just don't make the wrong choice of a longhair over a shorter hair cat on your eventual replacement - the bloke was way wrong about longhairs shedding less. Flippin morons and he works with animals for a living?
BTW, we wont be getting a cat or dog as the wife is allergic to cats and other stinky animals... the b00f™ is lucky she puts up with him!
Hey Mark - I know how traumatic this can be... We've had some near-disasters with Duma as well, and it's crazy how emotional we can get about these things! Thoughts are with you, mate.
Hi Mark. Ella is a beautiful cat. We lost our boy Sherpa a few weeks ago as he was unwell and we had to make the decision to put him to sleep. He was a really cool cat!
