Yes, Houdini is our youngest.

This is a recent photo:

She disappeared Monday. We last saw her Sunday evening.
We've been training her to go outside safely for 3 weeks or so and she was doing very well. Sticking around us and keeping company with Weezie who is her best friend. We have two cat doors she uses very well. She is mostly indoor, with a little outdoor. I train all our cats for some outdoor, because of our summer home, where they are going to be outdoor more than here.

Then poof... didn't come home. It has been complicated. Today I found a young man (young teen) who says he thinks he saw her on Wednesday near his home. I was at our Farmer's Market which is very close to our house, and showed Houdini's photo to everyone and gave out cards to those who said they'd help.
So tonight we're going to the area this young man indicated and are going to coax her out with food. I offered him a generous cash reward if he could find her for us too.
She is microchipped but I don't think easy to catch, because she is so timid. We think a dog or some animal chased her and she got too far away to get back. But some people today said they had cats take off and come back weeks later, so we are hopeful she is still alive and safe somehow.

This whole week has been a blur of pain and anguish for me!
