For many years, we lived with our beloved cat 'swifty' in the Buea Road neighborhood in Kumba, Cameroon.
The environment was peaceful and ' swifty' had many friends. She would often disappear for a few hours but would eventually find his way home on the evening.
One day, due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to transfer Buea Road to the Fiango neighborhood.
We worried about 'swifty' as we felt she would have a hard time adjusting to a new environment. But we had grown to love him so much so that the mere thought of leaving her behind was scary.
That was how we took 'Swifty' along to our new house in Fiango.
The first few days were challenging but she quickly adjusted over the next few weeks.
One evening, she came home with an injured leg and her body covered in blood. This was a sad evening for us. we never had such an experience before. We wondered if she would
make it through the night.
Miraculously, when morning came, she was up and running. This made us so happy, but little did we know that the worst was yet to come.
Later that evening, 'swifty' did not return home. We searched and searched, days turned to weeks and weeks to months, but 'swifty' was nowhere to be found. We were only left with memories and pictures of our beloved 'swifty' to hold on to.
Its been 6 years since the mysterious disappearance of 'swifty'
What do you think happened to her?
