I was having a panic attack 20 minutes earlier because of how terrible my anxiety has gotten and how scared I am of everything. Then the cats were fed. 2 out of 3 of them came. The one who usually comes quickly didn’t. My 3 and 5 year old nephews were up this weekend. I think they let him out when they were playing in the backyard. We looked all over the house. Then I looked around the garage. Then the backyard. Then the neighborhood. I put something on my towns Facebook page. My emotions are so scary right now. It’s like I’ve completely shut down. Is there anything else I can do right now? I am fuming at my nephews and sister and brother in law. It will be awhile before I forgive them for this. That cat was my rock. Every time I’d look at him I’d feel so much love for him.

I’m so sorry about your cat! I would be just as upset as you are if one of my pets was missing. Has this cat gotten out before? Do you think he can find his way home? Did you try calling local shelters or vet offices? I hope you find him. Keep us posted.

No he’s never gotten out before. We walked around the neighborhood two other times. We tried calling the local animal hospital. We got a lot of response to our Facebook posts. So we have our community looking out for him. Currently we are putting info on a lost pet website. I have vacation plans later this week. I have a $500 non refundable hotel room. So I really have to go. Luckily I have an aunt who lives a couple blocks away who will help us out if they find him when we are gone.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry Mountaindewed. I'd be freaked out too. Does your cat come when you call? Or when you have treats? Growing up - we had a cat that would come running when we shook the can of treats. I wonder if carrying something like that with you when you're out walking might help gets his attention (more than just calling his name)?

I hope your kitty finds his way back home soon!

Call Meaow Meaow she will come to you.

Keeping my fingers crossed you find him hiding from the kids in a closet!

Oh, no, I would be upset too! I hope kitty comes back home soon!!!

This is the strangest thing. My mom came out of the bathroom this morning. And he was just sitting by the bathroom door. His fur wasn’t wet and he didn’t look like he had been outside. We literally have no idea what happened. He never hides and we looked everywhere for him last night. It’s almost like that whole cats have 9 lives thing. It was that strange. But he’s safe.

Bathroom cabinet? Maybe he hid behind the terlet while the kids were there.

We opened all the bathroom, and kitchen cupboards, and the shower doors. We opened every closet door. We even opened the dishwasher.

@Mountaindewed

Pooter kitty is home??? YeeHAH!!!!! May your pooter kitty never leave home EVER again!

[SlumberKitty]

So glad you found him!

@Mountaindewed

This just occurred to me. Do you give your kitty treats? When I had pets, one way I could get them to come to me was to shake loudly the container their treats were in, LOL They always came running!

I’m so glad he’s safe and at home

Yay, so glad you found your cat! Cats are very good at hiding. The last time I took mine to the vet, it took me thirty minutes to find her. I think she was moving from one hiding spot to another.

So pleased to know that the cat turned up. I had a cat go missing for 3 months. Very weird but good to get her back home.

Glad he's back!
