I called his name, and he meowed. I came closer and offered him some treats, and he ran away. I called Jim on the phone, frantic, then went over to where I saw him run. I kept calling his name, over and over. He was meowing but keeping a distance. I sat down and kept repeating his name, and he finally came to me.
I scooped him up and ran to the street. I saw an SUV with a female driver and asked her for a ride. I'm sure I sounded nuts, but I didn't care.
He's thin, dirty, and a little confused, but who cares?!? He is home. I made a vet appointment for Wednesday night to check him over. He's in my lap now, purring away. Jim took this photo, which is now my favorite.
Thank you, thank you, for all of the support, purrs, and love you have sent us during the past 11 days. It kept us going. We are so thankful. I made myself some promises if he comes back, and I plan to honor them. Stay tuned in the coming days.

I sound like a broken record, but I am so, so happy for you. :)
I can't tell you how happy I am for all of you!
On Thanksgiving Day, I think I know a cat who will have a turkey of his own! I am very pleased to hear of Tucker's rescue. It only goes to show you, that you must persevere and never give up! I definitely increased "security" around here, after hearing Tucker's story. I have confidence he is only cold and hungry, and a bit shy, but he will recover quickly. Hopefully, he will be satisfied, and not try a stunt like that again!!!
Concatulations!!! What a great early Christmas present! Sending purrs to all of you. XOXO
Thank heavens you found him!!!! I can imagine how frantic you have been and maybe losing hope after so many days. I am so profoundly happy that Tucker is safe and sound at home where he belongs!!!!
That is a beautiful picture of you and Tucker and your smile captures the joy of his return. I was on pins and needles reading your story of how he was found. He knew you would find him. Big hugs to all of you.
OMC!!! This is jus the best news EVER. I can only imagine your relief. Oh Sweet Tucker... Bless you.

That's wonderful news. I'm so happy for you. It must have been dreadful while Tucker was lost, wondering how he was. Be a sweetheart Tucker and don't go walkabout again, your humans were worried sick.
Oh, Tucker...If only you truly could put pen to paper or paw to keyboard and relate your "adventures."
Don't. Ever. Do. This. Again. :-)
We're so glad he's home, safe and sound. Purrayers answered, in this case. Fantastic!
I'm so, SO happy to see that Tucker's back where he belongs, safe and sound in your arms.
I am over-the-moon thrilled to see Tucker back home in your arms! This has made my week!
