Lost my Kitteh >^.^<

[Rolig Loon]

Kitties don't typically go missing, but I agree that they are most vulnerable during a sim crash, especially if they are no-copy items.  A simple sim crash is nothing to worry about, but if Linden Lab's technies had to roll back the sim to a previous state -- they do that sometimes if it's a serious crash -- then anything that wasn't in the sim in that previous state won't be there after the rollback.  They'd be rolling the sim back to before your kitty was "born".  That's such a rare occurrence, though, that I think you ought to exhaust other possibilities first. 

1. Check your Lost & Found folder again and look for coalesced objects.  If several things were returned at once, they may be there as a single lump, not as separate items.  See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Building-tips/ta-p/700041#Section_.1

2. Check the sim's garbage collection corner (extreme SW corner, at coordinates <0.0,0.0,0.0> -- underground).  That's where the servers put things when they can't figure out where they belong.

3. Contact Live Chat or file a support ticket (if you are a Premium member) and ask for their help.  Provide as much information as you possibly can.

Hello,

in addition to what Rolig said,

bring up the mini-map with CTRL+SHIFT+M and check it for lighter blue spots, which indicate objects that you own.

I'm sorry, I just had to laugh at this one..."Second Life ate my cat sofa"....OMG, only in Second Life could such a thing possibly even be said.

What you need is a rollback, but LL does not often perform them simply for lost items.  Still, it doesn't hurt to contact your estate owner, or file a support ticket with LL if you live on the Mainland.
