Cat gone AWOL

MadsL

Any suggestions as to the best way to find my cat that has gone awol. Three coyotes were hanging about earlier look guilty.

I fear the worst.

How do you find a cat? The classic lost poster?

thee glitz

That's all you can do. And hope
it comes back when hungry.

Poor pussy.

I don't think coyotes can read "have you seen my cat" posters.

Did you try calling "Puss, Puss" ?
Hope you get the cat back!

Has there been any ransom demands?

My name is URL

If it's not dead, it'll find its own way home when it's good and ready.

I had a cat 'go missing' for over 6 months, presumed squashed.. and it turned up one morning looking to be fed as if it hadn't been away at all.

You can't control the cats!

There's plenty of cougars in that part of the world isn't there? I know I have trouble with them any time I'm over there. Maybe one of them got it?

They have pet psychics in America that claim to be able to "communicate" with lost pets. Here's a genuine extract from one of their websites:

Lost Animal Consultations are $110.00 and include time working with your animal to figure out where they are, if they are inside or outside, healthy or injured.

But there's bad news:

Please note: I cannot guarantee that your pet will be returned once I have communicated with them or had them describe their location to me.

They also do "long-distance Reiki healing" for $30 per animal.

Alternatively, you could flush your money down the toilet.

You crazy Yanks!

Do sexy older women usually steal cats? :pac:

All you can do is wait. Could be stuck somewhere. Ours once came back after ages and was covered in dust or something like she'd been trapped somewhere.

It's kitten season. Is it male or female? Lots of male cats fighting at the moment. Might have just gone walk about.

Cat is female and has been spayed (twice actually, poor thing)

It's cute how you are worrying about your cat.

Just know he doesn't miss you. Cats are scum

How old is she?

No really, how can mods get away with such crass comments. Ok tell me it's within the rules or whatever. But if you think that's funny then you're one sicko with little to do.

No idea, probably 5 or 6, she was a rescue and the previous owner had Alzheimers, hence the spaying twice.

Older cats sometimes go away to die, but she's still young. Probably gone hunting. I hope she returns with lots of 'presents'.

Your cat could be out getting some pussy of his own. If not your neighbours have better food than you. It'll come back in its own time.

There used to be a fair amount of them in Frankies of Raphoe if I mind right lol.

Sticky thread, to be fair. Man is without a cat - must be distraught.

If he loves you he'll come back.

And if it doesn't come back, it was never meant to be in the first place.

If she's microchipped, you could ring your local vet

She is - and has a registration disc for a recovery company - plus a phone number on her collar and two more engraved on her discs.

Short of tattooing her, not much else I can do...

Is that it, ours went missing for 5 days, I was sure he was killed by some other tom, or that he was either trapped in a neighbours house or being held hostage somewhere by some well meaning kid?
Turned up today looking noticeably thinner and going mental for some food, so rules out being well treated elsewhere, god knows what he was up to, but he was not being fed.

Muise...

She hears you calling, she just doesn't care. This is why I respect cats.

We had a cat who lived to around 14. Beautiful long haired cat, he was like a dark majestic lion. He went missing for about a month before and we all feared the worst and then he returned out of the blue.

Eventually we had to have him put down as his organs began failing as he was quite old, his bones felt so hollow and it was sad to see such a beautiful and once powerful animal now so frail.

I think we all know what he was up to

Cats just come back, even when you don't want them too. They'll just show up like nothings happened

In that case, all best wishes, may she come back well and healthy very soon

I hope some hillbilly does not catch it and marry it.

I feel your pain, our cat got knocked down in december & damaged her jaw. After a month of spoon feeding her mince & chicken,2 operations costing almost €200 she was finally well enough to be let outside again.
Bitch moved straight in with the neighbours & has not come home for 2 weeks now.

Think of all the things you can buy with the cat-food money. The pain will ease. I wish ours would feck off, fur covered psycho that it is.

Our cat was missing for 8 days last summer but she was back within 5 minutes of this: http://m.rte.ie/news/touch//2013/0529/453287-earthquake-felt-across-south-east/

So, I would highly recommend an earthquake.

Ain't the cat food, its the health insurance, cat has better insurance than I do.

I doubt a cat would survive too long in the New Mexico desert. At least its winter I suppose, probably gets very cold at night though.

Didnt even have time to come back for a meal , I was sure he was a gonner for some other reason.

Ours shows up complaining, this was the worst Ive seen him complain, ever since he went out of the house, he doesnt want to eat inside, we only got him to keep any potential rodents down/eaten. Ive no idea if he even does that, there are so many stray toms and other cats, we need not have bothered, but Im beginning to think the toms dont really do too much work, Ive only ever found one headless starling and heard he was toying with a mouse once, had a female cat years ago and she always seemed to be stalking/returning with/toying with/and dispatching something. Plus she was clean and could be kept indoors and was friendly too. All he does is mark his territory and eat and isnt even that friendly.

I hope your cat comes back soon!

You all make cats sound awful, I can't wait to get a dog in 6 weeks
