    I hope he turns up soon. Saturday - have you asked neighbours, he could be shut in a shed by accident? I am sure he will reappear, cats always know when they are on to a good thing.:)

    I hope he's back soon - our Friday cat once went missing for nearly two weeks, so I'm sure he'll be back before you know it xx

    A local cat was missing for nearly six weeks then just wandered in as though they had never been away.

    Hope there is good news soon. xx

    i'm hoping! i'm on edge waiting to hear the thump as he jumps in through the bathroom window.

    (it's open, btw..)

  • My advice is to keep putting food out. Place it outside, somewhere you can see. If he is kicking about, he'll pay the food a visit. There is a chance another animal will eat the food, but it's worth the risk.

    I suggested this to a friend whose cat had been missing for quite a while. Eventually, she was lucky to spot the cat eating the food. He's now home safe. This was quite a few years ago now.

    Anyone who has lost a cat, I always suggest this method to.

    Hoping for a safe return

    Could be locked in somewhere or hitched a ride, best to knock on all the neighbours houses whilst memories are still fresh of what people did over the weekend. Is Giz microchipped? Post on all the online missing sites.

  • my cat ran away and came back looking very sheepish after 7 days:(

    dont give up hope but its worth keeping in contact with local vets etc so they have a description if some one brings him in.

    they are naughty! xx

    Don't lose heart - one of ours disappears for 6 months every year, and another came back after 3 months. Doesn't stop us worrying, of course. He'll come home when he's hungry/cold.
