We have got a new rescue cat. Hes lovely and so friendly and seems to have settled well into our manic house. He has lived with children and animals before so after the initial hissing at the dogs, they didnt seem to bother. We have had him 18days now and were planning on keeping him inside for a month but last week he escaped as we were coming in. Was out for about 4hrs and then just turned up on the front door step.
Resolved to be more careful but again saturday afternoon DS1 opened the front door and the cat legged it. No sign of him all afternoon & evening so I unlocked the cat flap so he could get in but not out. He strolled in sunday morning as if nothing had happened, walked past the dogs, jumped on my bed and started purring. Normal morning yesterday where he had breakfast, got cuddles from the children and then went to sleep on the window sill in the sun. Going out yesterday lunchtime he legged it through our legs as we opened the front door.
Fast forward to tonight and he's not reappeared. No sign of him. have walked round shaking his biscuits but nothing. We lived on the edge of woods so he could be anywhere.
I'm worried sick. He's microchipped, wearing a collar but his new ID tag arrived today but I don't have the cat to attach it too.
Please reassure me that he will come back. The children are asking for him and I'm beginning to worry. His original home isnt local so its not as if he's retracing his steps.
