my cat disappeared about a month ago and I haven't seen it, nor has anyone else. my kids are so sad, they just want to know what happened so there is closure. Sorry about yours. I hope it finds its way home to you.

I hope she comes home!!! If she does, have the microchip put in her. It's inexpensive and really saves you a LOT of worrying. I'll say a prayerfor you, too. It's terrible to lose an animal.

It's easier for a dog to find his/her home, but maybe not for cat. Anyway, bless your cat. I hope and believe that she will find the way back home eventually.

I've heard of a story where a cat returned to it's home 10+ years later. I hope yours turns up soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. My cat ran away for a week but every nite I called him and left food on the porch. Then one day I was calling him and he came running thru the field up into the house. If your cat is in heat she will stay away until its over and when she comes home she will be thirsty and hungry and will probably sleep for days. Don't give up hope, every nite call for her, believe it or not but cats no where their house is, their like a dog. They scents of smell are amazing. I will keep you in my prayers, God will bring her back to you. If your still worried try animal control, local vets and so on, some people are kind enough to keep the pets but leave info with the officials, just so they don't give your cat to someone else.

i hope your cat comes back soon. My cat has been missing for a week and it is not the first time. Sadly, some well intentioned person has been feeding her and that is why she has been staying away from home. I am going to put up photos of her and an appeal to please not feed her as she has her adopted sisters who miss her very much - Twinkle a rescue cat and Daisy a rescue dog! My missing cat is called Susie and we all miss her so much. She is tagged and has a collar and tag alert on it along with a bell to protect the wild life.

Best wishes for you and yours x

Its unpredictable to tell the truth.
Im going through the same thing right now, my cat summer went missing and that isnt like her. I knew she was happy she was my baby girl and it has been 16 days that I havent seen her but I still belive she will turn up one day.
Dont give up on your cat.
Good luck

If she has not been injured, she will probably come home. Cats sometimes get locked in people's garages or garden sheds. There are also pet finding services such as helpfindmypet.ca or .com if you are in the US. They use a database of phone numbers and an automated call service to let your neighbours know to watch for your cat. The microchip idea is a good one, too. Let your local SPCA or animal shelter know she is missing in case someone turns her in. Best wishes

My cat just recently turned 1 year and is a outdoor/Indoor at night and now has decided not to come home and sleep outside overnight. We live in the country and I figure he loves hunting at night however I am afraid he will get attacked by another animal. I am not likely this recent trend by him but don't want to make him live indoors all the time. I guess I must deal with the fact if something happens to him it happens. Must be a growing stage that hopefully doesn't last to long.

Our cat has been missing for 5 weeks, not unusual for her to go hunting in the fields for 2/4 days. Likes to live outside in the warm weather. We live France and the local hunters say there are no dangers for a cat in this area.

So I understand how you feel.

we live in the mountains in new mexico..my cat has been missing since saturday, and its unlike him. he always comes home by like 1030...there hasd been an owl in our yard which scares me. yesterday morning I walked outside and there were 3 wild boars in the yard. deep in my heart I feel as if hes alive. im gone all day at school and I dont know if he comes home. food has been out and it seems like some was eaten today, so im praying its him. whats weird is we have another cat here, it was my grandmas and I moved in a yr ago. the cat has never warmed up to me, hated me for a long time. even the cat I brought here after a yr they never became friends. very depressed cat. she never came in my room or nothing. now that charlie has been gone, she wants to be near me all the time. sleeps with me, she sits in my lap, I have a feelin she knows charlie is gone and is comforting me. its so weird
I am in the same position as you because my cat has been missing for a day now and has not returned. She is 2 years old and 9 months and she is also desexed. She has gone missing before but only for one night but she did go far but that was 2 years ago when she was just a baby and somebody took her to the vet and luckily she is mircochipped and was returned. She has never been gone for this long I have walked around the neighbourhood and even gone into the bush (forest) calling her but still no sign, I am really scared and I hope she comes back.

my mother taught me this and it works...take everything out of your vaccuum, pretty much whats in the bag, and spread it all around your house, or wherever you live. your cat will smell it and find its way home. we used to live across the street from the woods and our cat came home a day later. Cats have excellent scents and if they smell the house that theyre used to, they will find their way home
It's scary when it happens -- mine went off yesterday and hasn't been back, which isn't like her. So there is no telling if she's on her way back, if she's been hurt or killed (by car or animal) or if someone picked her up thinking she was a stray (she lost her collar a couple of days before and I hadn't yet replaced it, now I feel guilty about that). I so hope your cat comes back. I've had cats do this and come back after a few days. I hope my cat comes back, too -- I've been wrought with worry. She is such a sweetie and we'll be so sad if something happened to her.

Reality -- I had a cat come up missing, I asked all around in the shelters and Vets offices, they told me that it was reported that people were stilling animals and selling them to laboratories as test animals, I hope this is not the case for mine or yours. But understand the dangers out there of your animals, as you would if you had a young child out there playing and a Registered sex offender lived in your neighbourhood.
After I heard that people did this I had all my animals micro-chipped.

Your cat might come home, but it depends. It does happen frequently that displaced cats show up late at night asking to be let in. If you hear them at the door, then just let them in. You might want to have a humane trap there just in case you don't hear them. The trap should probably be placed wherever they left your house unless they are very familiar with some other egress in your house.
If you have an indoor cat, you can train them in advance to associate humane traps with food. And, you can put a Cat Flasher on them. It's just like a tag and it will set off a bright, flashing light making it easy to locate them (just change the battery every six months). Get the Cat Flasher at http://catflasher.com/
Good luck to you!

One week after moving house, my cat went missing. A few days later, I found a dead cat that looked like her and I thought, in my tears, that it was her and buried her in the garden. Every day after the "burial", I went to her tomb, calling her name.
Then 5 weeks later, I found her body under a tree, just 15 feet from the cat flap!!! Poor Kitty!!!Why didn't she show up? How did she die? from hunger and thirsr? If I had checked carefully the body of the dead cat, then I would have continued to look for you and left out food for you. What tragic coincidence!!!

I am in this boat right now. At 1 am I am sitting up after my 2 year old kitten went missing 5 days ago. She has gone out at night before, but always under her favorite bush waiting to be let in in the am. I have called all the shelters, put up multiple fliers, and combed the neighboorhood. I just pray for her safety, wherever she is. And I hope she comes home soon. She is microchipped, and I have put out a kitty amber alert...just need her home.

my cat has been missing since sunday, it is now tuesday.
there is a big dog across the road and I am scared that is has driven her away.
or that a fox has got her.
or maybe someone has taken her in and hasn't seen the posters or just doesn't want to give her back, I have no idea what to do?!

At this point, all you can do is keep looking, keep checking with the pound, keep posting fliers and talking to neighbors, etc.
