My cat has gone missing! Advice?

True, thank you

Cats do this. And when he comes back (which he will) he'll just look at you like 'what...what's the fuss about', and then expect a plate of prawns or something

Update us as to his whereabouts, won't you? Tag me in if you remember

Thank you all for the lovely feedback and advice.
I feel a little better about it and will update this of course if he comes home ❤️

any news on your cat??

When (fingers crossed) he comes back, you need to be more responsible. I don't say this to be cruel, but I have a cat too, and you have to protect them. He has no collar and he's not microchipped, and you let him out on his own when he doesn't really know the area that well. If (god forbid) he'd been in an accident and been killed, the person who finds him won't have a clue who he belongs to. There will be no way he could get back to you.

I really hope he comes home - to be fair, cats do this from time to time. Sometimes they just disappear for a few days and then stroll in like nothing's happened. Do you live anywhere near where he used to live? He might have gone back there if he could smell anything that was familiar. So perhaps check with the place you adopted him from?

Please let us know if he comes home! I would hate this to happen to my cat.

Hiya
I’m not sure if he’s microchipped. I’ve only just registered him at the same vets in our area. I’m going to find out if he’s microchipped from the previous owners - I shouldn’t see why not.

No, we don’t live close to the previous owners. I’d say it’s a 20 mile drive to them.

He’s spoilt rotten and we’ll looked after at home with us and it was a silly mistake.

I pray every night that he’s safe somewhere and comes home when he thinks it’s suitable for him

Thank you for your concern by the way x

put posters out in cat language. he might read the poster and come home.

Go round and ask your street neighbors if they've seen him - cats often turn up at other people's houses and get comfy there, whilst the owners are oblivious to where it's come from and look after it until someone turns up.

You could also put fliers up on lamp posts further afield - or if you have a Neighborhoods account you could post on there with a photo etc.

However (and I don't mean to upset you but you should be aware of it) If you're next to open land, there's also the dangers of foxes and badgers and owls and things.

Lucky came back last night!! He’s home safe and sound ❤️❤️❤️
