The DG Pet Issue: Ariel & Angel
Posted February 4th, 2008 by Discovery Girls
The February/March issue of DG is all about pets! You met Alexis and Pippi on Friday—today, find out why Ohio Discovery Girl Ariel’s cat is an “angel”…
“I named my cat Angel because she was so cute as a kitten—she looked like a little angel! Angel has her own personality: She likes to take piggyback rides, and she loves to cuddle and lick peoples hair! One night I couldn’t find Angel. The front door had been left open so I was really worried. (Angel is an indoor cat!) So I went out into the dark night with my dad and a flashlight to find her. We didn’t. I came back into the house crying but I continued to search inside the house for her. I checked all the places I could think of and finally found her sleeping peacefully under my bed!”

SCARED
yesterday i thought my dog was lost because my mom and i just got back from the grocery store and we had opened the front door and kept it open as we unloaded groceries. my dog ran out the door and he normally will follow us to the car or run around my front yard. All of a sudden my mom goes “wheres teddy?”(teddy is my dog) and i got realy nervous because the last i saw him was when he ran out the door but then i kept calling and five minutes later he ran out the door turns out he was inside all along!!!!! sarah

mulder
my cat Mulder, loves the out doors, but he runs away when he does. We went outside watching him carefully, but when i came out from gettin a drink, he was gone, i freaked out and we searched every where-except in side- when we went inside, (crying) we closed a drawer, we then looked down and there was Mulder, peacefully sleeping.
my cat
my cats an indoor cat too.she can climb ladders and sit when you tell her to and open my bedroom door. one time I slept in for school and she knew so she woke me up in the nick of time.
Lost kitty! :(
A couple of years ago my cat got out and she was missing for a week then one day we found her on our yard,when my mom went to pick her up she ran away! Eventually my mom got her inside. She had car oil all over her body,and she looked like she had been kicked! That was about 3 years ago and shes still scared of visiters!
My little kittys
Ohhhh! that is SO sad. Well, I know how you feel. when I got my first cat at 8 years old, everything went fine for the first year. but one day I wasn’t paying enough attention to him, and he just kind of walked off and we never came back! I was (and am!) heartbroken, he never came back and that was in July. we put up flayers, talked to everyone and even checked in their garages to see if he was in there but he was not. But I found this little kitty at the gas station on day and someone had just left it there. she was wild and she didn’t come neer me but I kept coming and feeding here twice a day and talk to her so she would get used to my voice. and after a while a got really close to her, but she ran off. and when we were in the gas station on day, the woman said that a another lady who worked there caught her and took her home. I lost all hope of having a little kitty to play with to get my mind off the other cat. but one night when we came home there was a message about a little kitty and the lady who had caught her said that I could have her! I couldn’t wait to get her home! after a few months, I got a cat as a present from my dads boss. both cats had a great time playing together. but one day the cat from my dads boss, disappeared and never came back. and a day later my kitty disappeared also and never came back. this was about a month ago. I have been praying for all my cats to come back…and I hope you do to.
Love, true sister at heart
I feel SO bad for you! I
I feel SO bad for you! I have 2 cats at home (one for my sister and one for me) and my sisters cat (Puss) always likes to run out the door when we get home and I have been dreading him running out into the woods and never coming back! Luckily we live on the 3rd floor of an apartment so he can’t get too far. But one time my cat Shadow got out and I was SO scared! She is so fast and skiddish so she would just run as fast as she could and if I tried to pick her up she would run even faster! Luckilly I got her back inside before she even took 3 steps! But I am still scared!
omg im sooo sorry
thats sooo sad i hope you find them. maybe try a dog or a caged animal like a hamster! i have one he gets out of his cage but we got a cage with no side bars and maybe you should hold your cat(s) how every many you might have and walk around your neighbor hood so they know how to get home thats what i did with my kitty!!!!!!! i really times 10000000000 hope you hind them. about the hamster they live 3 to 4 years so maybe a longer living animal!!!
my hamster gets out of his cage and my cat finds him and she will not eat or hurt him
So Sorry :(
I am very sorry about your kittens. My cat wouldnt run away because she hates the outdoors. Very sorry hope you get a new cat and I will pray for you kitty’s too! Hope they come back soon :) - A Animal Lover :)

I feel soo sorry for you…. it sounds like you had some bad luck with cats. i got a cat for christmas from ashelter and she was found in a abanded apartment….but she didnt live up to a year she died when she was a few months old. when my mom told me i cried and we bought chocolate
cat
My cat ran away too but never came back. At school everyone was making fun of me cause it happend 5 years ago
Sad cat story
I had this cat that was really cute and soft and loved to cuddle he was brown and like sort of an orangeish color and we named him Pumpkin and anyway he went outside for a couple of days like normally did and one day when I went swimming with my friend Pumpkin came back and my sister was so happy but then Pumpkin just died in her arms my dad had to come and get me from swimming and he told me all about it when he was driving me home it was so sad I cried for two days strait thats how mush I missed him when he died.
awww
awww… thats sad. i noe how that fells. my bunny sort of died the same way.
thats horrible
i would cry to if my cat died.
hope your ok
love cat lady.
I know how u feel
I had a cat named Snickeres he was so big and fat but i loved him so much! Then one day I was walking home from the bus going home alone and I saw my cat run across the street to see me and the rest is history he got hit by a car.I cried for a whole week becuase I had him since I was in 1st grade. The funny part is he would chase dogs I called him an attack cat.
: ( Sorry...
Its cool to have animals and all but you start loving them so much and then one day, they die. It is so sad. I love my dogs so much and if anything like that ever happened to them I would be so sad…..
I feel bad for you….that poor little cat
Awwwwww...
That is so sad! I am so sorry that happened to you, but i’m still glad you had found her/him! Best of luck with your cat! I wonder how she got oil on her, and why would anyone kick her?! Again Sorry! Jordan :(
Lola's Lost! :(
I’ve always wanted a puppy of my very own and last I got my chance. I named my little puppy Lola and I loved her soooo… much but one day at my aunts and uncles I thought I lost her I was really scared and worried we went outside and didn’t see her then back inside I found her in a pile of laundry!!!!!!
The Worst Day of My Life!!!!!!!!
About 3 years ago, when I waz in 3rd grasde, I had 2 kittenz. Mazy and Misty . Mazy waz my favorite kitten. She waz a spotted black and white kitten. Misty didn’t like that much (atleast not as much as Mazy did). She waz a striped black and grey kitten. It waz late at nite, on July 4th.My mom, brother, and I, all went out to see the fireworks. They were amazing! When they were done, we went back inside. Mazy and Misty usually slept with me. I found Mazy in a dining room chair. We couldn’t find Misty anywhere. We looked all over the place. Outsid and in. We couldn’t find her. I sat down on the floor in the laundry room. Then, all of a sudden, Misty came out from behind the washer! I told my mom that and she said she banged on the washer. Normally, it would scare them. I thought, maybe the kittenz were playing a tick on un(somehow)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jasmine
my bunny
I totally know how you feel. My bunny, Cottontail escaped from his cage once! But we found him under the deck. Thank goodness! Madeline
cool!
that is good!
teddy
one day my dog teddy ran away when I was 5 years old & he never came back & im 10
Puss In Boots
I once had a cat named Puss In Boots bcause her fur was white around her feet and it looked like she had boots on. She was a outdoor cat and one time when we went on a 3 day vacation and left herthere asking a neighbor to feed her. Well we come back and Puss In Boots was not there which was normal so we did not really know until the next 3 days we waited and watched for her to come back but……………….she never did. I still cry every time I think about her,mostly considering we had a kind of woods in our backyard. I am trying not to cry right now.
