Moved in with my brother in jan this year while we get work done on our house, my 2 cats never hardly go out at all, but the eldest is my boy salem , we came back late last night after being out and he wanted to go out, so let him out and went to bed. normally i wait up till he comes back in again as they dont stay out at night and end up crying and waking me up in the middle of the night so to save the bother i just wait, last night i didnt.
the conversation had been in the night how protective i am of my cats (there are most definatly baby substitutes till i get the real thing!) so i thought ill show them and let him stay out all night if he wants, as soon as i got to bed i heard him scratching to get back i but ignored it. i wish now id taken the time to just get up and let him in cos so far he has gone missing. Ive literally looked around the block 6/7 times already, been outside on the doorstep shaking his foodand nothing.
He normally sits under my brothers car, he went out early this morning to take his friend to work and im sitting here with all paranoid thoughts what if he had climbed into the car engine, what if he's been knocked over etc.
I seriously do not know what to do, he went missing once in our old house (where hes lived since we got him) but he was back by 3 the next day absolutely starving! i really hope it happens again but cos its a new area im really upset that hes gone for good this time. Ive had him since i was 17, im now 31 and i desperatly want my little mate back, so any advice what i can do is greatly appreciated, thanks you for taking the time to read this x
