Worried sick - 2yo boy cat has not been seen since Friday

Where could he be hiding?!

We've knocked on doors up and down the road today, no one has seen him. DH has looked in the field behind us. Nothing. I've called and called. Favourite scratch post is outside. Still nothing.

I'm most worried as we've got a building site / housing development a few hundred yards south of us, behind our road. What if he's laying there injured and we can't get to him? 😢

I've shared his picture on social media, as have Cats Protection.

My anxiety is going through the roof. Bunny was killed by a fox 3 weeks ago - now my anxiety imagination is wondering if he's suffered the same fate.

Oh how fantastic OP!!

So glad he's home safe and sound

Hugs to you all x

Oh, that's WONDERFUL. Such good news. Now, glue his feet to the floor, staple the cat door closed and read him the 'you ran away and made me cry for a month' guilt-trip riot-act ...

lovely story op, is he pleased to be home?

SandunesAndRainclouds · 17/11/2017 14:01

He's under total house arrest! Forever!!

He has to stay in for a few weeks to build his weight and strength back up. We've had a confirmed case of UK Animal Killer nearby so I've been keeping the other cats in anyway. Don't want that sicko getting his/her/their hands on one of mine Angry

He looks very happy to be home. He's sleeping a lot, but staying very close. He's also very vocal, calling out a lot then purring hard when he's stroked / comforted. Goodness only knows what the poor lad has been through!

So glad he's home. Cat you cat proof the garden? I would be keeping him in too.

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/11/2017 17:44

Well done for persevering. He must be glad to be home too now it's getting cold.

Ahh, so glad he’s home. I love a happy ending!

3catsandcounting · 17/11/2017 23:13

Just checked in on this thread. So glad I did!
Fantastic news, never, ever give up hope where cats are concerned.
I'm over the moon for you, 😻

SandunesAndRainclouds · 18/11/2017 09:37

I keep checking that it really happened and he's really here!

I ended up with quite a big campaign to find him... I'm getting random strangers coming up to me in Tesco congratulating me. I've even had a card through the door addressed to him saying welcome home signed 'Cat Lover' and the street opposite me. Very weird! Might have to move house and change my name 😂

That is such lovely news, really glad he's home!

BulletFox · 18/11/2017 09:44

That's brilliant :)

Want2beme · 18/11/2017 11:01

Great news. What a little wanderer he is. Your DD must he overjoyed.

Botanicbaby · 18/11/2017 18:54

Wonderful news! Smile

It's awful the not knowing, I think cats that return to you somehow are very very special indeed.

Weedsnseeds1 · 18/11/2017 20:41

So pleased for you ( and him)!

Iris65 · 18/11/2017 20:48

Really pleased for you! 🥂

MsMims · 18/11/2017 23:22

Amazing! Such brilliant news and well done for your persistence - that’s what has brought him home. Have you heard of cat proofing? I’d highly recommend it as a way to keep your cats safe and well.

SandunesAndRainclouds · 19/11/2017 21:20

Cards have turned into gifts... well I assume the dreamies are for him and not me!!!

Cat-proofing is new to me. I'll have a Google.

That’s amazing news, I’m so pleased for you all!

I just checked back to see if there are any updates and i’m thrilled to bits that he’s home.

Really super news!
