My cat has gone missing

Hi Jugs..so sorry to hear Kitty has gone missing. I just want to give you some moral support in that cats just do this now and then. It is not unheard of for them to be gone for a week sometimes more. My cat used to do this about every couple of months. She'd be gone for days and days and I'd loose so much sleep worrying about her not to speak of crying all the time..Then all of a sudden, I'd hear this very loud Meow at the door and she'd be home. Usually she looked a mess, was very hungry and tired. She would eat and then go to my bed and sleep for a couple of days! So try not to worry too much. I often had wished I could put a little camera on her so that I could see where she'd been!! Like you mentioned, the possibility of her getting locked in somewhere is also a possibility and if thats the case, hopefully someone will come home or hear her or something soon.. Hang in there, She'll be back. I'll say a prayer for her just the same,and ask God to keep her safe on her "adventure". Have you checked with your local shelter just in case she got picked up? Let us know how things turn out..

Is he a boy? I have also a male cat who always leaves the house and gone missing for 2 to 3 days, he'll come home to eat and drink will go away again. I discovered that there was a female cat somewhere in the neighborhood who is in heat and my cat is there watching over that cat and taking his time to have some private moments with her. LOL ! Don't worry, he'll come home as soon he gets hungry.

I hope you find your cat. Do you have a picture you can upload? Perhaps a member on here is from the area you are and may see him. I hope you find your cat soon. Perhaps he/she will return home.

Sorry to hear about your cat. Hopefully, he's just roaming the neighborhood and will show up for dinner. I wish you the best in finding him.

Good Morning dear Jugsjugs , first of all i care to say that i am a pet owner myself of both cats and one Puppy whom i trully love and treat like a human been ( Just the puppy ) , i have to be more precise SEVEN cats , and the youngest of these seven creatures is a biig wanderer (Bebe its he's name ) , he's got now two years and he's been always coming and going , i mean the first time he dissapearred i panicked and started looking everywhere for him , i even made some postcards and putted them on trees in my neighborhood and the Bistro's , the first time he went disapearring he went for SEVEN DAYS and then he camed back , actually he had made a habbit off comming and leaving , i think he probably is in the heat periods when he does soo and wanders after females , hence he is not the Alfa male in the SEVEN cats pack that my Step Father has ( this was happening while i was still living in my parents house , now thank god i only have One Puppy , wich is i dont know what i'll do if she went missing ). I am trully sorry to hear what your going trough ,and i hope for the bottom of my heart that your cat its just wandering in the neighborhood , and hope that no accidents happened to him/her , hence i know how it feels to loose an animal that you cherish . I suggest that you give him a few more days before you start thinking that he might of had something bad happened to him and that he comes back home , unharmed and HUNGRY , and that this will serve as an adventure without any incidents. Try to keep up a good morale and try putting post on the streets(If you have any recent photos with it ) , maybe someone found it. Have a nice day dear Jugsjugs

Aw jugs I am so sorry to hear that your kitty has gone missing. I have four cats of my own and would probably go insane if one of mine went missing. I suggest putting signs up everywhere and to continue doing what you are doing. Also maybe call a pet rescue place in your area, something like that. Good luck and I really hope you find your kitty.

It's a terrible feeling when your cat goes missing. One of our cats got missing once as well and once we found out where he was it was hard getting him inside. In this particular case it was because he had gotten into a big fight with the neighbours cat and he daren't come back in the garden because he was affraid to run into this other cat. They never had a fight before the timing was bizar, as they moved the next day so he didn't have anything to worry about (but he didn't know that). We could pet him and pick him up as usual, but once you headed toward the house he would be histerical and start scratching and twitching to get away from you. Finally we got him using a special cage that drops shut when the cat gets inside. Once he was indoors again he was happy and his old self . He never went outside again though. I wish you the best of luck, cats can be pretty unpredictable so he might just be out on your doorstep within a few hours. Let us know how everything works out, my thoughts will be with you.

Is this the first time he has gone missing? A cat I once had made a habit of disappearing on occassions. How old is he jugs?

Is it a tomcat? We had several occasions where toms have taken off and about the time we had pretty bunch given up on them they came back. Remember cats have a mind of their own. About all you can do is be vigulant and stay on it. I will be thinking of you and hope you get him back safe and sound.

I share your wryness. I hope your cat will come back. He may went out for romance.

I know first hand how terrible it is when a beloved pet is missing. One of mine climbed out of a window when we were away for a weekend. My husband and I put up posters, walked all over the neighborhood asked all the kids if they had seen her, called all the shelters, etc. She was gone a long time, over a month, and I had given up on her. Then one night she was on the front porch crying to be let in. So even if yours is missing for awhile, she still might come home.

so sorry to hear that, hope he come back soon

I know cats on o.'s own knows how to find road to home.So don't worry.And now is that period.The mating season.

firstly,i feel sorry for you.you must have a strong bond with your cat.once in my fgradma's neighbourhood,we got a flyer with a few pictures of a cat and a reward.it was a huge reward..it make me stunned a few moment and then i thought this cat must really mean a lot to the owner.maybe the cat lost the way back or someone might have took her.but i pray the best for you..you love it and i know she love u to.don't worry,she will come back soon

I know many people are superstitious ..Every time I had a black cat and let him outside, always ended up that he never come back or worse. I will pray that your cat comes back.

Once my brown cat has gone missing for 3 /1 days. I went round all the nearby roads calling her name and asking people for that cat. My hope was that, cats recognise co-cats and people by smell. If she smells my foot print, she may recognise and remember us and come back. After 3 1/2 days of waiting, she came back on early morning, as if nothing has happened and was in a hurry to eat her food. May be she did not eat for so long. I heard, they go out missing when they get heat. Hence do not get panicked. The cat will come back soon.

I really hope you and your cat will see each other again. Maybe he was lost. He got out of the house and do not remember returning because he could not remember the place. I hope you continue searching for him. and pray that God lead his walk towards home.

I am sorry to hear that Jugs, it is really uncomfortable feeling when your loving pet is missing. I have experienced that too when our orange tabby was missing just for one whole day. Were used of him as our alarmer because he wakes us up every 7am and ask for food. But that Sunday was different, we wasn't around and we keep on calling his name around the neighborhood and he wasn't there. We prayed that night asking God to give him back to us. The next morning he came back to us, just got late one hour because we heard him meowwing at 8am. But we hug him so much and talk to him like "where have you been Brando?" we keep on searching for you, you did not show up. He keeps on answering us back meowing. Hope that your cat will be back to you safe.

Yes cats are great animals. though nt loyal. i love the soft movements it makes while walking. Its ferocious and a miniature tiger

I hope you can find your black cat again. Cat in my village can back home alone, Cat can remember the way to go home. So don't worry your cat will be back.
