My pet male cat is not coming home since two days. I am worried.

Oh no, I would be worried. But hopefully it is just a long time outer. But it is not safe at all. The sad times that my cats stayed out that long, they were unfortunately hit by a car. It was so sad. But since then we only let them out literally just for minutes. We let them out only for very short periods of time, a little bit before their meals (we give brekfast, lunch, adn dinner), so they are enticed to come in. And it has made them much more sensitive to outdoor weather, such as hot summer or cold winter days. They have barely stepped out at all this winter, thank goodnes.s I'd recommend starting to put up MISSING posters in your neighborhood and letting people know, so they can keep an eye out. That is how we found one of our cats. We also told the town pet control place for their help if anybody turns in or finds injured or sadly hit pets.

I've lost two cats recently and hope that your cat comes home soon. I know cats can stray away every now and then especially if they are wooing other female cats. But I do hope he comes home soon.

He's got his mind fixed on something more important than food - that female cat that he's after! He'll come back when he's ready to do so, but an intact male cat can go off for days on end, sometimes weeks or even months, roaming, patrolling his territory and looking for females in heat. There is also good risk that he will be injured in fighting with other males. If you want to stop this, you need to get him nutered. That will stop him chasing off after females and he will not be as likely to get into fights - at least not over a female. It's still possible that he'll get into a fight over territory, but there's no way of stopping that.

my guess is that he's found someone else to feed him - unless this other cat has taught him to hunt - so he may not feel the need to come home... Is he fixed? this other cat may be a female in heat and that will overrule hunger in an unfixed male.

There is no guarantee about male cats. Two of my male cats disappeared and when they were at home they were so loving and so attached to us. But I am told sometimes they come back but it is hard to face their absence. Just keep your fingers crossed. You could be lucky and he may turn up.

I remembered, when I was in high school I had a female cat. At that time my cat would come home late at 5 in the morning accompanied by another male cat. I would peep from my window, and saw how they looked and meowing at each other as if difficult to let go. Eventually my cat came back in. And I am sure yours will come home too. Just be patient.

Male cats can forget about eating when they are running after females. That is just natural. My cat was away for a long time and was very hungry when he came back. I took him to a vet and he neutered him and he stopped running away. The vet said that it is normal that cats forget about eating when they are looking for a mate. Also female cats can be difficult to get home in this same situation. My female cat was away for two or three days and when she came back, she was pregnant.

This is just why our cat, Morgana, is strictly an indoor cat. I love her so much and it would break my heart if anything happened to her or if she got out and didn't come back. All I can suggest is keep putting the food out and hopefully he will come home. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

We have had our male cats disappear for a week or better. He was un-neutered and was scoping out females in heat. Cats are survivors and will find food when they need it. Even if they have to eat out of trash cans they will do it. But as long as you have seen him, you know he is safe. He won't come for food or water until the other cat is out of heat. The only thing you can do to prevent this is to have the cat neutered (If he isn't) or not allow him outside during mating season. I get my male cats neutered faster than a flaming arrow as soon as they are old enough to get neutered.

It sounds as if your male cat has a lady friend that he prefers over the food you are offering, at least for the time being. My advice is that as soon as he does come home take him to the vet for a neutering operation. That should have been donr as soon as he was old enough, and you would not have had this problem.

...Hi Buchi_bulla, Happy 2010. Here's hoping that by the time you get this response your cat has come back home. My cat ran out the front door when I was getting the paper once, and walked off the porch and down the sidewalk, not paying any attention to my cries to come back. I was frantic, because I knew I could not catch him if I started to chase him. So I just watched as he kept going through the backyard and off on his journey. I got in my car, could not find him. The neighbors said he would come back, I did not believe them. This was Friday, It was raining on Sunday night when I heard this meow, I went to the back door, there underneath my car was my cat. I put some food in his dish, proped the door open, and went out to put some trash out. He came in the door, and I was a happy camper, and more careful after that. He will come home. Listen for him. Good luck.

Hey all animals including humans behave like that at some point in their lives.It is called need for companionship.And yes,it gets more important than food at times.Nobody wants to be held back and especially cats,they want their freedom.Don't worry,just give it some time,it will come back.Its a phase in its life where its learning,don't become an obstacle in its path....:)...Just make sure that you are around just in case it needs help!

Well quite honestly I don't hae a cat. I dont like cats, just kittens. My mom dont like cats neihter. My grandmother does and she had two kittens right now that just showed up at her house one day. She can't get rid of them.

have your love one back home yet? once my cats was away for almost three weeks. everybody said that he's gone to cats heaven but he wasn't sick and i didnt believe that at all. then he someday came behing the window and i couln't beleive my yes, but took him in with open arms. since then all my ctas have in-door cats i will never let them out again, unless leashed.

I do not own any cats but my mom does. she says some of her cats run off for days before returning home. I guess they go out hunting and then come back home afterwards. I hope your cat returns soon too.

Perhaps some well meaing person took the cat in. Did he have collar with his name and address on it? I would hang up some posters around the neighborhood and call your area animal control to see if anyone has reported finding a cat that meets your cats description. My cat used to sometimes go away for a couple of days at a time but he would always come back or one of our neighbors would bring him back.

Hello. Mine didn't come since December 14, 2009. I really miss him. But he's gone...Abuh is gone.He is a very good mouse catcher. For now, mice ran accross the rooms of our home and there's no one to catch them. Were could he be to rescue us......

A male cat will indeed behave like this, especially when there are female cats in the area who are in heat. Most cats will not starve if there a small animals or even scraps of food and such around the area, so hopefully, you cat will soon be home :)) Karen

Cats differ from dogs. Dogs if called will come back but cats won't. Secondly during the mating season, it will be aggressive and we can not make them to respond to us.

If I were you I would not worry too much. Cats in nature are really good hunters and they would be able to survive all by themselves. It'll be able to find its own food and will find a way back home that is if it still wants to be your pet.
