My Cat has been missing 2 days - Any more ideas on what I can do?

I'm a complete mess, my cat went missing very early hours of Friday morning. She must have gone out of the cat flap and for some reason didn't do her usual jump on my bed on her return, instead, she just hasn't returned.

She's 7 and when she was 2 used to go AWOL at times but since then has been a real homey cat and never goes far, hence me not locking the cat flap on Thursday night (which I feel so guilty about).

I've put her details all over Facebook, local groups and lost and found groups too. Put out some posters, been out early this morning and called for her and told everyone in my street to look in their sheds etc. Now I've run out of ideas and feel so useless not doing anything that might help bring her back.

She's been my one constant companion the past few years and I'm a wreck without her (I live on my own) and guess I'm just clutching at straws in case anyone has any ideas of what I can do, or even some hope that she will return soon. Thank you x

Oh I am so pleased! Do post a photo of the little prodigal cat.

PushkaMcgee · 03/12/2022 22:51

Thank you all!! Her coming back is definitely the best early Christmas present!

@ArcaneWireless she’d better not ever do this again! She’ll be lucky if I ever decided to reopen her cat flap!

@Idbetternamechange this thread certainly helped towards me remaining marginally sane, I feel sorry for my poor friends who’ve had to put up with me the past 3 weeks!

@DomesticShortHair here’s the little minx, loving being fed chicken and tuna and sleeping on my bed!

So glad to see she's come home safe and sound!

ArcaneWireless · 03/12/2022 22:58

Which is where she should be.

She is beautiful.

So happy for you both. 😊

A little full up stripey swirl 😍

Brilliant news! It's a gut wrenching feeling when you don't know where they are.

DomesticShortHair · 03/12/2022 23:14

That’s a lovely picture to see, Op. Thanks! I think Scully will forget about her little adventure a lot quicker than you will!

Back where she belongs. I bet you can’t stop smiling.

Craftybodger · 03/12/2022 23:36

What a relief, brilliant news! Welcome home Scully.

Oh OP I am so delighted, I kept peeping at the thread and worrying. I can see she is thinner but so lovely to see her home again happily curled up and relaxed.

QueueEtwo · 04/12/2022 02:48

What brilliant news! So pleased for both of you! What a relief! ❤️

Toddlerteaplease · 04/12/2022 04:57

Aww that's fantastic news! I've been checking this thread regularly.

That’s wonderful news. So happy for you and Scully.

Blowyourowntrumpet · 04/12/2022 06:23

@PushkaMcgee This is the best news ever. I'm so pleased that Scully is back home. I've actually got a tear my eye. I'm so happy for you.

soddingkitten · 04/12/2022 08:36

The best kind of update! Congratulations OP! 😸

Edamummybean · 04/12/2022 09:00

Happy news! I am so pleased for you.

DorritLittle · 04/12/2022 09:02

Awww! So glad.

Iamacatslave · 04/12/2022 14:20

Welcome home Sully.

Scully has come home!! I still can’t quite believe it! Three weeks she was awol almost to the hour.

I was asleep yesterday morning and at 6.30 could hear a loud meowing at my bedroom door, called out her name turned the light on and there she was peering round the door! I thought I was dreaming. She’s very skinny but is eating and drinking and looks well, she is so grounded! The vet said as long as she looks ok and is eating etc to just keep her inside and keep an eye on her.

She must have been locked in a shed or something, she looks pretty clean and must have had access to water, I wish she could tell me the story of her grand adventure!

Thanks to the amazing people on this thread, you really kept me going with your love and support and stories of cats that had gone missing and returned. It’s been a truly ghastly three weeks but you have all been there for me and, for that, I am forever grateful.

I still can’t believe my little Scully is home and safe and is now fast asleep purring on my lap.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤

Oh that's brilliant! I logged in just to see if Scully was back. I'm delighted for you x

PushkaMcgee · 04/12/2022 20:07

Thank you all so much for the lovely messages, the little minx sleeping next to me on the sofa right now has no clue how many people were willing her to come home 💓

Ah honestly OP, I'm so so SO pleased for you and Scully! I've been following this thread and wishing you well every night so it is really wonderful to read your update. SmileSmile

I know that feeling of having your beloved cat go missing, but you've never given up, Honestly so pleased for you!!!! So thrilled you have your beloved cat back. 💕💕

BruceyBaby · 04/12/2022 22:52

Oh I'm so pleased! My cat went missing for two weeks and then just turned up! I saw others telling similar stories so each time your thread came up, was hoping for good news! Holly was confined to camp for a while Grin. Good news!

gettingolderbutcooler · 06/12/2022 17:46

Yay!!

PushkaMcgee · 06/12/2022 18:57

Thank you all for the lovely replies, Scully is still confined to barracks! Wondering now when, if ever, to start letting her into the big wide world again! Will probably start a fresh thread asking just that!
