She is 13 and we’ve had her 4 years. She’s rescue cat and in good overall shape. On Friday night she slipped out; no one saw her leave but I opened the door to my sister about 10pm as she came to stay and I wouldn’t have noticed if she’d have left. There weren’t fireworks in our area as they were cancelled due to rain.
Well, she hasn’t returned home since and I’m beside myself. I’m convinced something has happened; she never EVER does this. We’ve done all the usual; knocked on neighbours doors and asked them to check sheds and outbuildings, shared on Facebook and local sites, we’ve got posters in the local shops and attached to telegraph poles, we’ve posted out 200 flyers today and will do more tomorrow, we’ve walked around the local area, tipped her used litter at the bottom of the garden, notified the council, rescue centres, local vets and microchip company...
I’m convinced something terrible has happened. Please, just hold my hand and tell me your happy stories. I need some hope because I don’t think this will end well. My MIL keeps saying ‘ah well, it’s just a cat after all!’ And ‘at least it’s not the DC...’ which I’m not finding helpful in all honesty. I’m hopeful one minute, and despondent the next.
