He is a sweet little boy with a great demeanor. He run out the door when I got home yesterday at about 4pm and I haven't seen him since. He has left before, but always darts back into the house to get food early in the morning. No such luck this morning.

I hate this feeling.

Update: He is home. I love you all.

1. Awhh that is an awful feeling. We had one cat disappear for 3 wks. Terrible ordeal

Here’s a site with lots of useful information on where to look and how to get them back..
Helped us a lot!

2. Vibes on the way! 💗💗💗

[Moostache]

3. Hope he returns to you no worse for wear...

[shenmue]

4. Hug

[CountAllVotes]

5. Put his litter box outside by a door he is familiar with

Hopefully he'll pick up the scent and return home (he'll get hungry too, maybe that will do it!).

It worked for me when Andreas took off. He was gone for two days and I tried this approach with the litter box there he was the next day.

Hopefully he'll come back soon!

6. Keep yelling for him

don’t give up!

[MLAA]

7. Here's are good vibes he gets hungry and returns very soon.💕💕💖💖

8. Did you try the nextdoor site?

You have to sign up for it and you may need to send in a postcard to verify your address but I have seen a lot of people get their pets back via that site. It’s a neighborhood social site. Nextdoor dot com

[Baltimike]

10. I just posted on next door and craigslist

He's been gone for 24 hours. I am sick

[LisaL]

15. There is a site called pet FBI where you can post your missing pets.

9. I've read some great tips online

From what I remember, they say not to give up...put up lots of flyers...maybe go door to door and ask to look around in the back yard...put the flyers within a (i think) 10 block radius...they can travel pretty far if scared by something...post on nextdoor....good luck!

11. Nothing feels worse. I hope he comes back safe and sound.

[Delarage]

12. Good vibes!

Cats are pretty good at finding their way. I once had a cat disappear for several weeks. I was worried sick.... And then she just strolled in like nothing had happened, hadn't lost an ounce, seemed fine. I was convinced she found a second family.

[LisaL]

13. Look around your home.

He might be sitting in the bush somewhere.

[BusyBeingBest]

14. Hope your kitty soon struts back into the yard, all nonchalant-like.

That's what mine usually did when I had indoor/outdoor kitties (now mine are indoor only). But still keep yelling for him! Sometimes they like being gone and I don't know why.

[BusyBeingBest]

18. Also check all your local shelters.

[3catwoman3]

16. Vibes, and lots of them, headed...

...your way.

Here’s hoping or a happy report real soon.

[Karadeniz]

17. He has probably not gone far, just a few houses away. Neighbors with thick bushes? Check them out.

Call and listen carefully.

[Blue Owl]

19. Come home kitty!

Usually they do...

21. Have you posted on Pawboost?

https://www.pawboost.com/

This web site has helped find a lot of cats and dogs in my area, and I think they are nationwide. Your kitty probably hasn't gone far; he's probably hiding under a porch or a deck, or he could be stuck in someone's garage. You might ask your neighbors to look in their garages or other structures. Years ago my cat snuck out on a day when it was below zero and was missing for the better part of a week. We were afraid he'd frozen somewhere, but one morning he turned up at the back door with a look on his face like, "What??" He had dried leaves in his fur and was very hungry, but he was otherwise just fine. Your cat will probably turn up on his own if he's not found first.

[Rizen]

22. Good luck finding your cat!

Cats are our babies.

[Niagara]

23. Most indoor cats usually don't go far while outside.

Place your cats litter box outside your front door, along with a favorite unwashed blanket/cat bed that he likes to sleep on. Cats have a stronger sense of smell than we humans and they can smell familiar smells from quite a bit away.


Also, put stinky food outside like tuna as soon as it gets dark. Bring a flashlight with you while outside and you'll be able to see his eyes reflect from using the flashlight.



If you can't find him after doing this, someone probably brought him inside with them. You might have to call neighbors and knock on doors, or make flyers and place on the neighbors front doors.


Good luck, I hope that you find your beloved cat. Please keep us updated.

24. Put some open cans of tuna or sardines, something really smelly that he will

smell. I bet he comes home.

[Maraya1969]

25. Oh yea, I've had two cats that literally moved from my house to the neighbors.

That's when I had outdoor cats and my dogs would chase them.

I loathed it but they were happy where they were. That is not to say not to get your cat back. My cats had to deal with my damn dogs.

But putting up pictures and talking around the neighborhood might just find him sitting on someone's sofa.

Come to think of it that's exactly what happened to a friend of mine's cat. She was going around showing his picture and the one house just opened the door and said, "That cat?"

And there she was!

[Grasswire2]

26. I am so sorry.

I know that feeling.

Is it cold there?

Can you make some fliers and put them here and there in the neighborhood?

What's kitty's name? I'll be thinking about him.

[Hokie]

27. Sure hope you wonderful kitty returns

Please keep us updated. We have an indoor cat who has escaped several times. He usually just wants to roll around on the on the concrete.

[Fla Dem]

28. So glad he found his way home. Did he just come back, or did someone find him?

[Baltimike]

29. He came back by himself

I love sleeping in the cold. Summer or winter. Always have. I like my sleeping conditions to be frigid.

It was cold last night, so instead of the ac, I opened a window. I must have opened it too much because even *I* got cold, and I was in the middle of a dream where I must have incorporated the window into my dream. I was talking to my father, and he's telling me to 'close the goddamb window, you're gonna freeze the whole house" And I am resistant to do it because I didn't feel like getting up and he was like "Close the damn window I said" and I muttered, 'it's not like I am going to peer out the window and see Maxley, that isn't how this works"

And there he was...that's exactly how it worked

[Fla Dem]

30. Wow, that's incredible. However it happened, I'm glad for both of you.

[Baltimike]

31. me too. I couldn't get that door open fast enough. nt

[3catwoman3]

33. That is rather eerie, almost like you were...

...getting a subliminal message from your cat - “I’m out here! Let me in!”

I’m sooooooo glad he came back.

[Niagara]

32. I'm so happy to hear this.

Oh happy day.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. Welcome back, Kitty!

They usually do come back, but it's such an awful worry when they run off. One of mine has vanished several times, only to turn up in the house. I have never been able to figure out where she disappears to, but I suspect she finds portals into alternate universes. So glad your cat came back on his own, but he's got a lotta 'splainin' to do.

[mnhtnbb]

36. We had a kitty--Mouse--who would disappear in the house, too.

I finally discovered that he was able to open a base cabinet door in the laundry room. He would crawl inside and manage to get the door shut behind him. All he had to do to get out was to push the door open.

Mouse and his brother, Simba, were both indoor/outdoor cats. Mouse would, occasionally, take off for a day or two or sometimes longer. He always came back. Lived to be 14 and then declined quickly when he got cancer. After he was gone, Simba didn't like to go outside much anymore. He just wanted to stay in and be around us. He lived to be 17.

[gratuitous]

35. YAY!

[mnhtnbb]

37. Yay! Happy to hear he's home!

[Totally Tunsie]

38. Oh, thank heavens!

You must have been sick with worry over your little buddy.

[rurallib]

39. So what was his story?

[Baltimike]

42. Here:

I love sleeping in the cold. Summer or winter. Always have. I like my sleeping conditions to be frigid.

It was cold last night, so instead of the ac, I opened a window.

And there he was...that's exactly how it worked

[Maraya1969]

40. If you haven't done it yet it's a good idea to get him microchipped.

[3catwoman3]

41. One of our cats loves to hide, and she's very...

...good at it. We have a rather old couch in our front room, and the batting on the underside has come loose. She crawls up in there to take a nap.

The only reason I know this is that she has a TILE device on her collar which I can beep from my phone. That is how I found her. I surely would never have thought to look inside the couch.
