My DCat is around 10 years old. We rescued her around 5 years ago from a dysfunctional flat, where she wasn't allowed out.
She's incredibly bonded to us as humans. She is allowed out but won't go further than the garden or half way down the drive at the front. She won't use a cat flap at all.
She literally disappeared from the garden into thin air on Tuesday evening. Stupidly we thought she was inside and so didn't realise until the next morning.
We've tried posters, leaflets, door knocked the neighbours, done physical searches, gone out to look at night, cooked chicken and wafted it about etc. Her litter tray is outside as is her favourite blanket.
There was a very credible sighting of her last night around 8pm but unfortunately we didn't get a phone call until this morning as the man who saw her is older, doesn't have internet and only saw the missing poster on his way to the shop this morning (I hadn't done flyers in that area by then). We've searched and searched that area but she literally could be anywhere.
We are distraught and so incredibly worried what with the heat wave. I just feel sick - I'd rather know even if she were dead, at least we'd have some closure. The kids aren't sleeping and are having panic attacks.
Any other suggestions? I'm desperate and can't stop crying.

So glad she’s back. Is she chipped and neutered?

Oh what a relief! Poor puss!
From her injuries do you think she got into a fight which resulted in her running away to escape?
Here's to a speedy recovery to your cat and to you!💐
