Has anyone had a cat disappear for more than two weeks and turn up safely?

I know I really ought to give up hope and let myself grieve now, but I’m torturing myself by collecting anecdotes to let myself keep thinking he might come back!

Our gorgeous, soppy, affectionate two-year-old cat vanished a fortnight ago. We live in a small village backing onto fields, and his brother has previously gone off on a hunting spree and stayed away for up to a week, but this one rarely goes for more than a day. We’ve put notes through every door in our own street and the nearest two asking people to check sheds and garages, put posters all around the village, put something on NextDoor, rung the vets etc etc. I know it’s highly unlikely there’ll be a happy ending at this point, but I just miss him horribly!

Has anyone’s cat returned after this length of time?

Yes. Found by his chip. Nearly 3 months later. 2 miles down the road, living in a goal scuttle?! There is always hope.
