"Norman", Siamese, Lynx Point, San Jose

Search Details:

Norman is a six year old, primarily indoor only Siamese with Lilac point markings. He is wearing a collar with ID tags and he is microchipped. 

He has the use of a dog door  in a sliding glass door to allow access to the outside. 

He was last seen Saturday at around 2 PM inside the house. His people went out for several hours and did not come back until late that night. Norman was nowhere around. They started searching for him, but could not find him. 

The track we found led around the neighborhood for a few short blocks and then right to a local public park. Here it went around a bridge over a dry creek and then shot directly out of the park and into a hillside neighborhood and then down a very busy street for several miles. 

There are similarities to a cat walking and a cat being carried. Once we got to the busy road and traveled for several miles. I was convinced that Norman had been picked up probably inside the public park near the creek. I think he was initially chased from the house and found his way to the park where he was met by a friendly stranger. Though Norman is usually shy of strangers, I think he was so scared by being chased, eventually he may have been convinced this person could help him. 

The search was called off by Norman's people at the four hour minimum. They said they would continue to look for Norman.
