Lost cat, any stories of hope please?

[tiredvommachine]

My lovely cat hasn't been seen since Saturday morning :-(. He never stays out overnight and this is really out of character. I have added his details to our local lost pets FB page and knocked around the area asking if people can look out for him and also left his litter box out and some cover /food.
I know it's only been two days but I'm really sad and worried :-(
Anyone got any heartening stories about returning felines?

When I was a child one of ours went missing for 5 days. We were so sure he wasn't coming back, and then one evening he came running up our drive frantically meowing and looking pretty skinny. It turned out, he had got himself shut in our next-door neighbour's garage when he went away on holiday.

The weird part is that his brother kept on trying to get us to follow him down our lane and walking up our neighbour's drive. We just thought he was being neurotic with his brother missing, but I guess he knew where he was.

Another time, the mum of the cat in the first story went missing. I can't remember how long she was gone for but she suddenly came bounding across our garden with what looked like an honour guard of our other two cats- again, they were all meowing frantically! We think she'd been locked in a shed.

Lovely stories When my dds cat went missing , I asked among the Dowsers for help. Animals are notoriously difficult to pick up as they’re moving about or have moved about a bit. Someone’ said to have a word with a local neighbourhood cat .. Now I found this a bit weird even for me ..but your stories give some credence to that.

Still hoping 🤞

Still no sign of puss yet op?

@shewalkslikerihanna, hello. No, no sign of Boo yet. Am catsitting my in laws puss whilst they're away so nice to have a cat around again. Hopefully, the universe will decide this is the time for Boo to make an appearance as they don't get on

Still thinking of you, op .
Have you had any sightings at all?

@LagneyandCasey, no, nothing at all. Thank you though x

Did he turn up?
