Harvey has been missing since Sunday. You'll already know about this if you follow me on any social networking medium whatsoever, as I haven't spoken about much else. Suffice to say, my next pet will have a tracking device. In fact, when Harvey comes back, I'm going to put one on his collar.

We called the shelters, reported him missing to the council, and today we're going to doorknock the neighbours. Everyone agrees that this is normal cat behaviour. In conclusion: cats are jerks.

A partial list of reasons Harvey hasn't come home yet:

- he's still sleeping off the preschooler he ate on Sunday morning
- he joined a bikie gang, and is trafficking high-grade catnip
- he's whoring himself out for cheap 'nip
- he's fighting crime
- he has been kidnapped by a Clancy Brown character in order to blackmail us

So that's basically been dominating my thoughts for the last four days. Good times. Good WHERE IS MY CAT I WANT HIM BACK times. He's microchipped, so as long as he's found somewhere, I'll be called. BUT WE WANT HIM BACK SAFE AND ALIVE AND CRANKY. AND THEN HE'S NEVER LEAVING THE HOUSE AGAIN.

Other news:

- I bought A Dance with Dragons yesterday (and I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my shoulder lugging it home), but I'm actually so engrossed in Spoiled by the Fug Girls (...okay, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan) that I haven't cracked it open yet. Why yes, I do lack nerd cred!
- I did my taxes on Friday! Unfortunately, I haven't saved enough money to get to America this year. But I'll be getting enough back in my tax refund to go to Sydney for a K-pop concert in November, and to Brisbane for a visit when my new nephew is born in September, and also a new laptop and some other things. America: will have to stick around until next year.
- my secondment to the Feds has come to an end, and I'm back in the main office at work. People talk to me! I can go to the bathroom and kitchen unattended! I can use punctuation again! On the downside, they use a lot of big words in court, and no one swears.
- I am both writing my Avatar Big Bang (so far: 3000 words of Toph and Azula being wary and arguing) and editing my AU Big Bang (so far: lots of headdesking as I question my ability to construct anything remotely like a plot).

Good times. Kind of. HAVE YOU SEEN MY NOMCAT?

*sympathizes* I hope your nomcat comes back soon :/

[fahrbotdrusilla]

Oh, no! I hope you find him soon!

[trouble]

Oh no kitty!

My kitty went missing once for several days because I let Don's mother and that man she married take care of poor wee Euripides and Euripides was very put out and ran away and hid. But then he came back!

Oh, no! Come back, nomcat!

I hope Harvey gets bored of his jetsetting life and returns soon.

I keep hoping that a Twitter post will pop up with "NOMCAT IS HOME" or some such. Am worrying for you! (And, uh, cuddling my own cat, because I would be out of my mind with worry, too.)

I hope Harvey gets sick of Outside and comes home very soon.

Oh no! I hope you find him soon. When my cat was missing, the missing animal-organisation told me that cats are usually still in the area of your house, but hiding somewehere (especially when they don't go out normally). They also recommended using flashlights to look for them, even by day, because then you can see their eyes reflecting in a dark spot. Of course, Dido turned out te be locked in my neighbour's attic accidentally.

Come home Harvey. :(

I don't know if there's any more news on Harvey, but my favorite of my mom's cats had been missing for nearly two months and this afternoon he came up to the porch and they got him inside. He's thinner but seems ok. So, I guess I just wanted to say there's hope. I hope Harvey come home soon.
