I know its normal for them to wander. But it's the first time ipek has disappeared. He normally doesn't leave the cul de sac. 2 out of 4 kids have just fallen asleep after crying non stop. I went out looking for him shaking treats but nothing. I put his food out for a bit but nothing. I put my sons stinky shirt out in case he's gone too far and lost. Will post on SM tomorrow if no sign.

Anything else I should do?

Cats gonna cat! He’ll be back, I’m sure. One of mine went missing for three months last year. Our other one is incredibly lazy and rarely goes beyond the end of our driveway.

Hope he turns up soon. 🐈‍⬛

Going out with an open can of tuna could help, but depends obviously how far he’s wandered. Is it raining where you are? He might be taking shelter somewhere.

Hoping cat is back soon, he’s probably having an adventure!

Poorlycatadvicewanted · 26/04/2024 22:43

Thank you. It is raining! Will look in the morning with tuna!! Thank u

I'm keeping everything crossed for his safe return 🤞

(He's prolly watching a DVD with some other local cats.)

Pudmyboy · 26/04/2024 23:38

🤞 for a safe nonchalant return of your missing moggy, they are heartbreakers!

aodirjjd · 26/04/2024 23:39

Annoyingly he’s probably chilling on someone else’s sofa

Bringonthesunforthewashing · 26/04/2024 23:40

What is it with cats! They worry us something crazy.

Sure he will be back, probably in a nice warm space escaping the rain

Poorlycatadvicewanted · 27/04/2024 06:54

Still no sign. Have messaged the roads whatsapp

Happy to hear he’s found! 🐈❤️

Waitingfordoggo · 27/04/2024 15:38

…edited my post to change the colour of the cat emoji as I had just seen the photo of the miscreant cat 😂

Phew! I am so relieved for you! xx

Schrodinger's cat.
You can only assume that he was simultaneously both inside and outside the shed until he decided to let you know which.

CurlewKate · 28/04/2024 07:35

I think the Shrodinger's cat thing should be adapted to reflect the fact that the ability to lead secret lives which sometimes means vanishing for days then strolling nonchalantly back home is what makes cats simultaneously the absolute best and the absolute worst domestic animal on the planet.

ooooohnoooooo · 28/04/2024 08:37

Glad he's back, the little furry shit 😬

We luffs our cars so much don't we?
