I had just published an entry saying that "I'm Baaaaaaaaack" for my cat Prosper (she tells me what to write and I type and publish it here). But then one day last week, she got startled and ran away! She was missing for about 3 days and I was concerned.
Fortunately a neighbor saw her and told me. I quickly went out searching. The story is in my letter to Greenies below, because they had a part in her rescue! (I'm not getting any money to tell you about Greenies but I really do think they are great).
Hello.
I would like to share a success story and thank you for your
wonderful Greenies.
My cat Prosper has enjoyed them since she was young and when
she hears the sound of me opening the bag or just shaking it, she comes
running.
I love your product because of how it protects her teeth and
overall health, but a recent occurrence causes me to appreciate you and your
product even more.
Prosper is normally an indoor cat, although she loves being
outside when the weather is nice. I tie her to a leash and I’m usually sitting
near her. This past week when she was sunning herself I went in the house
momentarily. I returned to see my neighbor walking his bike over the steps where
she was under. He told me that he hadn’t seen my cat until he saw that he had
scared her away!
She must have been real scared because she broke her leash
and she was nowhere in sight.
Prosper was gone for 3 days and I was becoming very
concerned. I told neighbors, and searched the neighborhood myself and things were
looking dim. Being an indoor cat I knew she was no match for “outside” dangers.
Last night a neighbor knocked on my door saying he thought
he had seen her, and heard a tinkling of a bell; asking if she wore one. That
was the first good report I had up to this point. He told me where he had seen
her.
It was now dark. I shined my flashlight in a small crevice
under a neighbor’s house and called out for her. She meowed back! I could not
see her and feared she may be stuck and that I would need to call the fire
department. She seemed afraid to come out with my calling her.
I rushed back to my house and grabbed a bag of
Greenies. I called her again and this
time told her that I had her Greenies while shaking the bag. She slowly crawled
out enough where I could grab her and bring her home.
She’s now home and happily enjoying her Greenies every day
in a much safer environment.
Thank you Greenies!
Terry Scott and Prosper
