6. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses

I had a cat very similar in color and coat to Smurf - I called him Smokey.

Smokey was a cool cat. He'd jump onto the backs of the horses, usually behind a saddle on a horse being ridden. He liked watching TV and loved to ride in cars. One day he disappeared - we think he got into one of our clients' cars and rode off with them. Unlike most cats, he'd ride quietly and watch the scenery go by, then would jump out quickly when the door was opened.

Since that was long before microchips, we did what we could to look for him - put in a missing cat report at the animal shelter and checked regularly everywhere we could. Our clients watched for him in their neighborhoods but never saw him. He was such a smart and sweet cat I'm sure he would have found a new home where ever he ended up but I missed him so much!
