Smokey has been missing for nearly a week now, he has never been gone this long. The last time we saw him was on a Saturday morning where he was stuck on a tree just outside our house and he refused to go down. He can climb trees like anything and it was peculiar to see him stuck like that. Earlier on he was chased by our dog and I think that frightened him!
I took this photo using my mobile phone and here he was meowing very loudly. The funny thing is he was blowing funny bubbles from his mouth, lots of it and one of his eyes was swollen. It just did not occur to me that he might be poisoned at that time. I just thought it was a strange reaction being scared by a dog. After a few minutes, he jumped down when he realised that the dog ran away. I did not even think of running after him as I thought he was okay and wanted to hide from Blackie (the dog).

This photo was also taken from my phone, the last time we saw him:

Smokey is the cat on the right, my mum found it near a drain not far from our house :-(, and I think he's one of the most beautiful and smartest cat around! My kids miss him a lot and refuse to hear the D word! Matt wants to go around and stick missing posters of Smokey.

There's no easy way to explain this to the kids but I guess if anything, this is the best way for them to learn.
