She was roughly 1km from where she escaped and was quite distressed when I found her but started to recognise me when I sat down and called her, got a twig and played with it and she came out of the bush and sniffed me and came over
:D I scooped her up in the carpark and started crying, someone say me and probably thought I was nuts :D:D
She extremely underweight, weighs less than 2 kilos but hopefully will be ok after her ordeal. She was so distressed and I am so grateful that we managed to get her back - I just can't believe how lucky we are.
She didn't fair out too well in the wild is skin and bone but hopefully there is no long term damage. All her fat stores and muscle has been used as she must not have been able to find food but she somehow managed to survive.
I am astonished with the stroke of good luck. I usually don't park where I did and only parked there as I was reminded by someone yesterday I needed to set up a direct debit. I can't believe it !! Thanks so much for all your kind word and support through out the last few weeks, I just can't believe she's home!! She is quite anxious as shes hungry but I have to wean her slowly back onto food:D:D
Wow, from the 1st Oct to the 1st Nov...I've been following the thread but said in my head after a week or so that it'd be unlikely she was still alive. Delighted she's back, now never let her out again Well done to you for not giving up on her, she's lucky to have you. 0 -

They're tough little beasties, aren't they?
I know I was dreading Halloween and I usually love this time of year!
One of mine is pretty tough and I wouldn't worry about her but the little one that went missing didn't approach people for food and didn't have much luck at hunting which I was surprised at.
She was abandoned at 2 weeks and was sick for months, was nearly put to sleep when she was a kitten but made a miraculous recovery as needle was being drawn:D Vet said we are extremely lucky as she weighs less than 2kg now but her organs are ok thankfully
I was so upset as she is so nervous, even when I found her she was circling , crying and terrified but this is because she is such a nervous cat. I don't know how she didn't get hit by a car / end up in a truck etc as she is soooooo skittish.
BUT if she managed to get by i think it should definitely offer other people's that have cats missing some hope as mine is the extreme end of dependant and nervousness so most cats odds would be much better than hers at fending for themselves. She is just the extreme, she's more like a really nervous dog. She tried to jump on the kitchen table but missed and slipped off which would be quite normal for her but not other cats 0 -

How she is still alive is astounding. Someone called me saying that they think they saw her around the banks of a river opposite to where she was found so I don't know how she even managed that
I noticed today There are so many gates that look identical to mine so she must have been going through steel fencing and gates looking for her garden

Wow, that's great news, and just in time so that she wasn't subjected to the worst of Halloween.
I'd echo the advice to get her to the vets for a check up. They'll also be able to advise you regarding building up her food quantity over time. I don't think it's a good idea to give them too much too soon in cases like this.
Thank you the first thing I did was bring her straight to the vet as she was so thin I needed to make sure her organs where ok and thankfully the bloodwork is perfect. I also wanted to check if she needed antibiotic but thankfully she was ok:D
Due to the fact she is soooo underweight she needs to be weaned onto food very gradually. I also need to be careful with food as someone left the kitchen press open yesterday and she hopped in and ate a cracker 0 -

Yes I will do this
I am not planning to let her out any time soon and probably not again without a harness. I'll have to see if she is ok being a house cat where as if she's stressed only inside I will have to rethink that:)
Either way i want to find one that is good and that will work within close range0 -
