For the past three days we have had some serious rainstorms. My entire front yard/driveway is a lake. I have seen many roads are well on the way to being washed out.
Because of this I haven't bothered putting out more food or checking on the cameras. Since all the plates are in the open all I will do is get soggy friskies - which nothing eats. I am hoping that tomorrow will be better so I can go check on everything and knock on more doors.

Due to last nights huge rainstorm nothing was at any of the sites. I replenished all the friskies and set the third camera back up again. I have no idea why it wasn't working - maybe the cold?
I set it up in the house and it took pictures right away. I know that the cat with the white stripe is still in the area because I was told by the lady who owns the house the camera is at that she saw him. So I can't abandon the area until I know for sure if it was him.

It is raining so there is nothing to note at any of my locations. I did put out food to keep the animals in the area.

The first camera still only has the tabby. The tabby has been there a while because he was just hanging out by the shed for a while.
The second camera still is not taking pictures. I took it home with me so I can figure out with the issue is. I was talking to the lady who owns the house and she saw the cat with the white stripe again a few days ago while walking her dog. SO this cat is staying in the area. I will not abandon this area until I get a picture of it. She did say that he looked at her when she called his name. but Roy was partially deaf. I am not sure if this makes a difference or not. I am thinking of putting together a mug shot and showing it to her. Getting picture of different tuxedos and seeing if she can pick out the cat she saw. She did tell me I can keep the camera up as long as I need to - which is a big relief.
The third camera got a black and white cat - but it was too close to the camera so I moved the food back and hope that will help.

The first camera had pictures of a tabby - which doesn't look anything like Roy! But the person said he did see the tabby and that was not the cat he had called about.
The second camera is not taking pictures. I reset it to see if it was the positioning. If I don't have pictures by tomorrow morning I will have to read the manual to see what the problem could be.
I went to set up the third camera on the same place I had it a few weeks ago. A friend had photoshoped the pictures and one of them looked like it could be Roy. There were too many areas that could wing either way. He had a stripe on the forehead, but it wasn't quite right, but the head was at a weird angle. The fur was way shaggier - but it is winter. The feet were right. So I put the camera back so I could be sure either way. The couple in the house were very nice to me and agreed that I could leave it until I was sure.

The weather is finally warmer so I put my cameras back up.
I found a newspaper online with lots of found ads. I will be calling them tomorrow. But since Roy has been missing for so long I also emailed to see if there is a way to search backlogs.
I am still waiting for a call back about the dogs.

I got a call today from someone who had a cat for months and they were convinced it was Roy. I drove over and it was very close. Same body and feet, white belly and chest. But the snout was covered in white - not just the little bits Roy had.
The camera at the house over the highway got a great picture of a black and white cat - it was not Roy. When the weather gets better I will not be putting it back there.
I called Steve about bringing the dogs up. Waiting for a call back.
