Hi -- please contact Seattlekaz1@gmail.com if you have seen the orange cat again in the 90th St area. Unlikely to be Ralphy but I would like to check it out. His uniqueness is big multiple toes on his front paws. Thanks --

I think I might have seen this cat sleeping next to someone's front wall on the sidewalk. Near the corner of 90th and 5th Ave NE (just south of Northgate). Ran away when I pulled over so I couldn't confirm it was him.

I am so sorry. I have seen your signs and checked around my house, inside the garage, etc. I wish you the best of luck!

Seattlekaz - I posted your lost cat info about Ralphy over in the myballard.com's classified section, too. After a month, who knows if he could've wandered or possibly been picked up and taken to this area...

Never give up hope! Right before I moved to the Seattle area, my kitty decided she needed a little adventure in her life, and was gone for almost two months before I drove back down to Eugene to get her back. I was so lucky she still had her collar on with my phone # because they didn't have chips back then...I just had my old phone # forwarded to my dad's home, and was so happy to get "that" call.

We'll keep our eyes open and hope everybody else checks their garages and other places where a kitty might get locked inside. >^..^<

Terrilyn, thank you so much. I wasn't able to directly log into this forum until now. Ralphy is still missing. Not knowing what happened is awful but I keep hoping he will come back one day, or that someone took him inside during the big freeze a month ago. I so appreciate you taking the time to look . . . all of my neighbors have been so supportive.

Any luck finding your boy? I run in the area and have been keeping an eye out. So sorry to hear about this. Heartbreaking.

We posted this on the home page last Friday, but Suzanne asked me to post in the Lost Pets section for her, too:

Ralphy, a large orange striped tabby, disappeared from his Phinney Ridge home on Thursday. He has multiple toes on his front paws, a tag on his collar, and is chipped. He likes to wander near North 72nd Street and 2nd Avenue NW.
