I'm hoping this is a false alarm.
Sort of posting it, thinking it MIGHT pull on the statistical strings of the universe.
Pasta Man hasn't been seen for 2 days, since Thursday morning.
That's about the longest he's ever been gone before.
A week ago, a neighbor told me a predator got one of his turkeys, and that judging by the small pile of feathers, there was not much struggle. = Mountain lion or Fox.
Pasta Man saw or heard his mother and one or 2 of his sisters & brothers get eaten by a mountain lion, about a year ago.
But he sucks at climbing trees, and the only way he can win once a mountain lion sees him, is to use his knowledge to hide in a man-made space near home.
Anyway, he had a FANTASTIC life, so far. Never knew a moment of cruelty, probably.
My feeling is that he's gone, but it's possible that the neighbor's caged female cats are in heat and he's trying to mate with them through a wire mesh fence with 1x2 inch holes.
