In 2006, my husband and I told our 13 yr old grandson that we would foster his beloved Siamese cats, Scooby and Scatter, while he was in Japan 3 years with his Navy dad and family. The two cats fit in well with our existing cat and dog and all was well. We went to visit our kids in Japan in November 2007 and the day after we returned home, Scatter, disappeared. We hired a pet detective, printed hundred of fliers, canvassed the neighborhoods, searched all the shelters and posted diligently on Craigslist. Many false hopes along the way but no Scatter. Time passed but hope never did.
