Any cat owners ?

Post by candymancan »

Hey guys, my cat has been missing for 2-3 days now. Her buddy is still here "my other cat" but shes gone. This isnt like her she is usually always by the door or around the front of the house. Was just wondering is this norm for cats ? Or should i start making flyers and putting em out. She has a collar and a name tag as well as being chipped.

I dunno, im pretty worried and cant sleep and its all i think about, i went out today to look for her but nothing. We had cats prior to this who died around 15 years old from cancer ect 2-3 years ago, they were always outside cats in the same house. And they never were gone for more then 24 hours, we do have fox outside which is why i never wanted to make them out door cats, but someone decided my opinions were not important. They have been fine being out and indoor cats for the last 4-5 months but now shes gone

Female cats very rarely stray away from their area (males wander more). Do you live in a rural area?

We have, well, quite a few cats. We have some that are indoors only (All rescue cats), and then we have some feral cats outside that we have had spayed and basically take care of. And even they stay within a 100 yards or so of the house.

But we have had some cats suddenly show up out of nowhere. And after posting an ad on facebook, found their owners which have all lived within a 1/2 mile of us. Sometimes they can get spooked at night, run off in some direction, but then not know where they are.

So, yes. I would start looking around. If you have a local facebook group, post up there.

Sorry to hear this, if there is a predator in the area she very well could be gone.

Great news. One of mine took off and found him a year later. So for all those who lose a pet, never give up.

Glad to hear you found her.
You don't own a cat, a cat has decided to use you for such usefully things at feeding them and protection from the weather in return they will occasionally allow you to hold them and scratch their itchy spots

Howdy cat lovers! We have 7. Cats, not FSJs. We had 7 FSJs once but the herd got thinned out because they ate more wallet than the cats!

I have a cat. Can't say that I own it. That's not how cats work.
