No-one in the family has seen him since Friday. TBH, he is very much an outdoor cat and it is not unusual to only see him once a day, but it is very unusual to not see him for nearly 48 hours now.
Ds2 and I have been round his usual haunts calling him (always worked before) and ds2 has also been round the neighbourhood knocking on doors asking if anyone had seen him. A neighbour came round earlier to say he had seen a cat, but it turned out to be our other one.
It is the not knowing what might have happened to him that is worrying me. We live on a busy road but he does not usually go on it (is very scared of it) and anyway, if he had been runover, surely someone would have found him and taken him to the vet? He is mircochipped, so we would know by now, wouldn't we?
Alternatively, a fox has had him. Is that likely?
How likely is it that he might have been snatched? He is only a black and white moggy.
As we did not see much of him, I don't feel the grief I have felt when childhood pets died, but it is awful simply not knowing what has happened to him.
