My cat is missing

He's very old , not like him to be away for longer than about eight hours. Has been gone since Friday so I'm hoping he hasn't gone away to die Sad

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about your poor old boy. I really hope he turns up safe

Bluegill · 01/12/2014 20:26

I'm so sorry. Have you checked with the neighbours yet? I found mine in next doors shed. I hope he's home soon.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/12/2014 20:32

Not yet - I'm hoping he's camping out somewhere. I will go and see them first thing.

Are you absolutely sure he's outside and not, for example, at the back of a cupboard under the stairs?

timtam23 · 01/12/2014 20:36

So sorry to hear this. Definitely check with the neighbours tomorrow and see if he has got himself shut in somewhere. How old is he?

Mine went missing earlier this year and I did the whole facebook/twitter/flyers through doors thing. Notified everyone I could think of. In the end he came back of his own accord, although he was a lot younger than your boy. It was a very worrying time - I do feel for you.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/12/2014 20:53

Yes he definitely went out - he has a very loud miaow as well. I have shared his pic on FB , the neighbours all know him as well. He does have a friend of a black and white cat so hoping he's gone for a visit. Thanks for your good wishes everyone. X

Hoping you get good news tomorrow and that he's just gone off for a bit of a toddle about Flowers

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/12/2014 12:40

No sign this morning and none of the neighbours I've seen him. They are going to have a search round. I have been in our garage , daughters playhouse etc but no clues. Going to ring the PDSA etc this afternoon

He is still not back , but on a slightly positive note his chip hasn't been scanned anywhere, nor has the dog warden picked up any cat bodies.
Come home !

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/12/2014 20:43

Cats Protection lent me a trap and I caught my AWOL cat within an hour after he'd been missing for a week.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/12/2014 21:17

Really ? Wow how does that work ?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/12/2014 10:08

Someone about 10 mins drive away has been feeding a black cat for the last few days. Have been up for a scout around but she's going to call if he comes back . Fingers crossed.

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/12/2014 14:24

Lets hope it's him!

DrLizAsher · 03/12/2014 14:45

Really sorry to hear about your cat. I just posted too - both of mine are missing as well. It's awful. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/12/2014 16:33

He's back !!!!!!! Turned up sitting in a flower bed at lunchtime. Thanks so much everyone for your lovely posts Flowers

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/12/2014 16:33

DrLiz hope yours turn up soon . X

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/12/2014 16:34

Phew!

What about the other black cat? Are they going to get it checked for a chip?. It's too cold to sleep out at the moment.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/12/2014 16:41

We aren't sure if that black cat was him yet if that makes sense. The lady has bought some food to try to tempt it into her carrier if it does turn out to be a different cat. She feeds strays and takes them for a scan .

DrLizAsher · 03/12/2014 20:21

Great news he's back. Pleased for you!

timtam23 · 03/12/2014 20:32

Brilliant news KenDodd! So pleased he's back!

Sorry to hear about your cats DrLiz
