We moved to a new city 6 weeks ago, and only started letting our cats out last week (after several careful, supervised visits to the garden beforehand). We have 3 cats, and the boy in particular is a total homebody - never out for more than about an hour at a time and always underfoot, squawking for food and love and tickles. He is crazy about his sister - they are always snuggling up together and licking each others' ears.
This morning he didn't come find us for breakfast as he normally does. He has form for wandering in and out of other people's catflaps, so I thought he'd probably just made a friend somewhere and would be home by lunchtime.
But it's dark now and no sign of him. We've put flyers through people's letter boxes in our road and the road behind; we've put posters up all around the neighbourhood. We've walked up and down the streets calling for him and looking under cars and shaking boxes of treats.
I'm terrified that something awful has happened to him. I don't know what else I could be doing. Can anyone think of anything?
I know it sounds mad to be so worried after only a day, but we're so new to the area I'm worried he's got lost and won't find his way home.
