Being Asian with parents immigrated from a country where people eat animals that are not considered food in the US, I find the accusations of the neighbor eating a cat without any solid evidence other than his ethnic group a tad racist and offensive.

and you joined the forum to say that for your first post?!?!? I agree with what you're saying, but it gave me quite an impression... go through the questions and all that... brrrr...

LOL yeah.  I am a longtime lurker here.  Was trying to find the TTG announcment of their new KQ game, but ended up here.  I think I have joined the forums years ago.  If I did, I don't remember my login name.  The questions before joining did seem familar so I guess I did.

Being Asian with parents immigrated from a country where people eat animals that are not considered food in the US, I find the accusations of the neighbor eating a cat without any solid evidence other than his ethnic group a tad racist and offensive.  Despite my parents come from a country that eats dogs and cats, they are disgusted by it.  We even have two dogs.

I hope the cat returns safely, but accusing your neighbor of eating your cat can be dangerous especially if you spread that information to your offline friends and family.  Just that it is borderland paranoia.  We all get paranoid.  However, if you let your paranoia get to you, it will destroy relationships with your friends and family.  I lost a friend for being paranoid in thinking that she is ignoring me.  What I am saying is that don't think your neighbor ate your cat since you have no proof of that.  If you have evidence, then by all means.

Most likely, I think your cat just ran away and could be lost, taken away by a friendly stranger, or taken to the local pound.  I have seen lost pets all the time where they follow strangers home.  I don't know your cat too well to know if he is the type to get lost easily, but if he is, he might have latched onto a stranger who decided to take care of him.  If you haven't done so already, you can post up flyers around your neighborhood in case someone is taking care of him.
