Tq, Prince... Yes, did most of the stuff. Printed 100 posters, placed them at the guardhouses, playground, pet shops, neighbouhood restaurants... patrolled the drains etc. Checked the nooks, corners, cupboards, rooms, attic. Skiboots ALWAYS responds to my whistles. Only got a call from someone who wanted to give me a kitten -- I sill have two purries -- Skiboot's mom and bro. (Also a couple of strays who insist on being part of the family! Cats sure can talk a lot) I know they miss him too. My heartfelt thanks for your concern. And will keep you all posted. Tq
