About a 6 weeks ago cat (neutered, microchipped 18 month old boy) went missing for two weeks. First time he’d been gone more than 24 hours - he usually comes back when he’s hungry.
When he came back we think he’d been stuck somewhere - neighbours arrived home with suitcases and suddenly he reappeared having lost weight and covered in dust.
He’s been back home for 3 or so weeks, mega clingy and cuddly, DH was convinced he needed to be a house cat, I convinced him it wasn’t fair and he needs to be allowed out.
He’s now been gone for 48 hours. This morning I thought I heard meowing in the distance, Ive been out shaking the dreamiest and calling and no sign.
I’m sure he’s stuck somewhere again, but I’m worried, particularly as we are in an area with 3 very recent cat killer victims.
Any tips to help bring him home (again!) and if so, should he be a house cat?! I’ve looked into GPS collars but they don’t have great reviews and he won’t wear a collar anyway!
