My cat ran away
Tiger's gone missing. He's a house cat but was a barn cat before I had him. He tore a hole through the screen window and jumped outside.

I was working outside and tried to catch him and couldn't. My daughter came outside and said he'd been out before and he always came back.

Last I saw, he was running towards the 7-11.

I guess I'll give him a couple of hours then go looking.

1. Keep us posted!
Is Tiger wearing a collar?

2. He should be fine. My cats used to go gallivanting about the town on
a regular basis.

3. O-oh. I cross my fingers that he'll be back soon!
Our cats at home sometimes went off for a week; they always came back, though, and Tiger will, too.
:hug:

4. We've spent hundreds of $ on a cat fence to keep our cat safe
We were tired of scraping our previous cats' remains off a busy road.

5. put some cheese out on the window ledge
maybe the mice will attract him back?

male cats (neutered yours yet?) will wander and come back. My old boy, bless his ratty self, stayed away almost 6 weeks one time. Then showed up again.

hope he comes home soon.

6. Our cats had collars & phone numbers
but it was our search that found their bodies.

8. Cat's back
I heard some ruckus in the front yard and went to look out the front door and couldn't see a damn thing because there was a huge ball of fur in the way. The front screen door window is missing. Tyger was sitting on top of the screen and blocking the front door window, anxious to get back in.

He's been asleep on my bed all day.

10. Right here's your problem............
"He's been asleep on my bed all day."


It's not your bed, it's his. And he probably ran away because he resents you for referring to his property as if it's yours.

You need a serious attitude adjustment, my friend. Or your cat will continue to have little respect for you.

Had an experience like that not too long ago. She was gone for two days. Happy to hear your little guy's doing okay. :)
