My cat has ran away.

damn straight. and it decided that it wanted to do something selfless such as sacrifice itself to me for my breakfast.

 

Cook some curry cat.

 

Definitely put posters up and that.
Cats do get scared and hide away for days and days and days at a time.

Go out and go calling for her ( they have a much wider roaming territory than youd think)
He might meow for help eg he mightve ran into a garden got chased by a dog and is now hiding in some bushes scared to come out til its dark.

Try and find out from the local kids playing in the street if theyve seen her.

Sometimes stress disorientates them and they panic , so its very possible someone else
is looking after her and she cant find her way back.

Notifiy the local vets ( they can check her tag if shes chipped), and the cat /animal welfare charities.Put adverts in the newspapers.
ANd maybe promise people a reward for her safe return.

Sometimes they do daft things like jump on trucks that go across the country and wind up with new families.I know thats bad , but if that happens maybe that was the way it was destined to be.

I make jokes up about most things but I know if someone harmed my cats , Id do really unspeakable acts of violence to them.
A couple of my boys have gone awol on occasion but I found them.Hope that happens with yours

Good luck

 

my daughter's kitten went missing for about three days. i put posters up all around the neighborhood, and a neighbor found her under a car not too far away, terrified, dehydrated and starving. she was so happy to see me, she crawled up onto my shoulder, meowing and purring bigger than dallas. the neighbor was very gratified to see the happy reunion. poor dishes ate an entire can of tuna that day, and drank about a gallon of water. she's not let us out of her sight in the years since.

 

i had a cat that was shot by a kid several times with a pellet gun. he disappeared, he was very sick. then one day i went to look for the kitten at the pound and put up a poster. there, in the cages, was a cat that looked almost exactly like frank, but much bigger. it'd been about 6 months. i started to pet him, and he had a pellet stuck in the top of his head. i just about had a heart attack. i raced home to find my picture of frank, to compare markings. it wasn't frank, and i cried all over again, because not only was this cat just like frank in looks, but in personality. but i know that while dave would let me bring frank home, he wouldn't let me bring another. i was heartbroken all over again. we were too poor then to pay the $30 to adopt a cat if it wasn't frank. i still get sad, thinking about that cat.

 

This is all very good advice. I hope with all my heart that you find your cat.

 

i'm sorry about your kitty
im pretty sure i read somewhere that
cats always know where their home is
i'm hoping that your furry friend is alright and that
he'll make it home

 

I hope your little buddy comes back to you. That really sucks. If I lost one of my little friends I'd be totally torn up about it.

 

My cat came back last night. she was on my bed and I hoped in beside her and started kissing and petting her after five minutes I realized that she was filthy, the last time she was that dirty was when she hid up a chimneyat a friends house she was also V thin. I went out and got her a tin of tuna which she ate V quick with out stopping. I took her to the vet today and he sorted out her sore leg(an infected bite) so with a few days of tablets she'll be fine.

to conclude thanks to everyone who was supportive it really helped me out during what now seems a silly period of worry but at the time was distressing week of uncertainty . Thanks a lot for your efforts.

 

Alright!!! That's great news.

 

thanks for that I wanted any one who might be worried to be able to relax. I know I get worried about people when they post their problems and hassels on hip forums.

 

I'm sooooo glad

 

Ha ha...best news today, by far!

 

that is very awesome news, my friend
