call local vets as he may have been taken there if injured. Then do a social media blitz of local forums to ask people to check sheds and garages.

Of cours he'll saunter back in his own time and you'll just have to wondet what hes been doing. x

Omg your poor thing you must be frantic. But I'm sure he's just off adventuring or has got into somewhere he shouldn't (she'd or garage). Once you call round the vets, maybe knock on some neighbours' doors and ask them to check? Have you a local Facebook page for missing pets? Keeping everything crossed he strolls in soon.

He's on lost sites and got a shared post going round Facebook

Make sure you speak to neighbours - that's what helped us in the end. Ask local children to keep an eye out when they are playing.

Thinking of you and the lad.

PS - remember, though, he was feral for a while if I recall?

He'll have street smarts.

4 years stray. I do think he's stuck
Checked main road and no sign, have scrambled through as many hedges/bushes as I can but a lot is not accessible
Can't hear him and that's worrying me

Not all cats do. In fact, he may have reverted temporarily to old behaviour patterns and just be hunkering down somewhere.

I hope so. My gut instinct says he's ok but can't get home
I only have today to look for him but I've trawled everywhere Sad

Think about his curfew for when gets home, then. (I guess he'll be grounded?) Smile

Yeah, but you know he'll come back all sweet and innocent with those big eyes. You'll be putty.

Flyers now on the road he went missing on, stuck to lamp posts and offered reward
More neighbours aware, prayers to st Anthony
He's definitely 100% not been hit by car as I've been up and down the main road constantly and nothing
Searched a bit more

I'm sorry and I hope you find him soon.

Any chance of a delivery van nearby? When. One mine missing, there had been a Tesco delivery and I was scared dcat had climber inside.

At night go round with a torch - shine it in bushes, in gaps and cracks, under sheds etc. In case he's stuck somewhere.

I'm sure he'll rock up, with the "an' wot?" face.

Do you take a torch out with you, when searching? It makes their eyes reflect in the dark, so you can spot them more easily.

Could try putting some used litter/vacuum emptyings in your garden so he can smell his way home. It's worked for other posters on here.

I'm sure he'll be back, from the photos you've posted, he's obviously very bonded to you.

I wonder if he's gone on an adventure with his friend? Hope he's home soon.

I hope he's home soon. It's so worrying when they go missing. Harry has done it twice in the 8 years we've had him but I think I've aged years each time. Fingers crossed he strolls in as though nothing has happened Flowers
