call local vets as he may have been taken there if injured. Then do a social media blitz of local forums to ask people to check sheds and garages.

Of cours he'll saunter back in his own time and you'll just have to wondet what hes been doing. x

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 16/06/2016 13:08

Omg your poor thing you must be frantic. But I'm sure he's just off adventuring or has got into somewhere he shouldn't (she'd or garage). Once you call round the vets, maybe knock on some neighbours' doors and ask them to check? Have you a local Facebook page for missing pets? Keeping everything crossed he strolls in soon.

Make sure you speak to neighbours - that's what helped us in the end. Ask local children to keep an eye out when they are playing.

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 13:54

Have come in for a bit. It's so dense and so much not accessible he could be anywhere
Crying. Want my Ollie home

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 14:00

Thinking of you and the lad.

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 14:02

PS - remember, though, he was feral for a while if I recall?

He'll have street smarts.

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 14:07

4 years stray. I do think he's stuck
Checked main road and no sign, have scrambled through as many hedges/bushes as I can but a lot is not accessible
Can't hear him and that's worrying me

OP posts:
cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 14:16

Not all cats do. In fact, he may have reverted temporarily to old behaviour patterns and just be hunkering down somewhere.

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 14:17

I hope so. My gut instinct says he's ok but can't get home
I only have today to look for him but I've trawled everywhere Sad

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 14:35

Think about his curfew for when gets home, then. (I guess he'll be grounded?) Smile

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 14:35

Grounded?!?! He's going in a cat hoodie and not coming out

OP posts:
ElegantDream · 16/06/2016 15:08

Yeah, but you know he'll come back all sweet and innocent with those big eyes. You'll be putty.

Xx

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/06/2016 15:34

Oh fuck. I know you'll be doing all you can.

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 15:39

Flyers now on the road he went missing on, stuck to lamp posts and offered reward
More neighbours aware, prayers to st Anthony
He's definitely 100% not been hit by car as I've been up and down the main road constantly and nothing
Searched a bit more

OP posts:
GRW · 16/06/2016 18:42

I'm sorry and I hope you find him soon.

ElegantDream · 16/06/2016 18:49

Any chance of a delivery van nearby? When. One mine missing, there had been a Tesco delivery and I was scared dcat had climber inside.

At night go round with a torch - shine it in bushes, in gaps and cracks, under sheds etc. In case he's stuck somewhere.

RubbishMantra · 16/06/2016 20:36

I'm sure he'll rock up, with the "an' wot?" face.

Do you take a torch out with you, when searching? It makes their eyes reflect in the dark, so you can spot them more easily.

Could try putting some used litter/vacuum emptyings in your garden so he can smell his way home. It's worked for other posters on here.

I'm sure he'll be back, from the photos you've posted, he's obviously very bonded to you.

anoldiebutagoody · 16/06/2016 21:01

Hope he comes home soon.

Wombat87 · 16/06/2016 21:13

Hope he turns up for you OP. Holds hand. X

Vinorosso74 · 16/06/2016 21:15

I wonder if he's gone on an adventure with his friend? Hope he's home soon.

hollinhurst84 · 16/06/2016 22:09

Nothing. Going out for a last look

OP posts:
PinkSparklyPussyCat · 16/06/2016 22:13

I hope he's home soon. It's so worrying when they go missing. Harry has done it twice in the 8 years we've had him but I think I've aged years each time. Fingers crossed he strolls in as though nothing has happened Flowers
