Cat Missing - Updated

Is it advisable to put her name on the poster as she is a bengal and might have been stolen?

Can you have a walk around your neighbourhood calling to her?

Fingers still crossed.

We did that last night but I am going out again soon to do leaflets.

It was too unbearable to report at the time and I felt to blame as I do this time.

Oh Lordy! Bless you - and please don't blame yourself.

I hesitate to say this but do take a look along the bottom of any hedges etc.

You aren't in Essex, are you? Absolutely ridiculous needle in a haystack moment, but we saw a small-ish Bengal in our garden this morning (first time ever) - no collar, was running around fast then disappeared over our wall. Like I said, I know this is a stupid long-shot comment.

Other things:

Phone all the vets in the area and let them know, just in case anyone takes her in.

Keep calling and rattling the biscuits.

Advertise on your local Facebook pets lost/found groups.

http://www.animalsearchuk.co.uk/report-a-missing-pet.php - you can list her for free or use one of their paid services to get more help.

If you can afford it, consider offering a reward for return/information, if you're worried about someone finding and stealing her. Reward would be dependent on a microchip scan confirming it's definitely her (assume she's chipped?).

Hope your cat comes back soon. Do not blame yourself please, Bengals are very adventurous, lets hope she has a very short adventure and is back home soon

No unfortunately we are in Kent. I have already done the animal search register. Will have to talk to my husband about getting the paid services but I would be willing. Yes she is chipped and neutered. She is also a pampered princess which is worrying and she relies on me a lot, follows me around. Its hard to understand.

It seems I don't have a lot of luck with cats. Out of 4, I only have one survivor. Three cats under the age of 2 lost. One of them was over 10 years ago but even so.

I'm so sorry for you & sending hugs. I can't add any more to what others have posted but keep your chin up & hope she comes wandering back very soon x

I forgot to say, the cats' litter tray is in a covered area round the side of the house. It is protected from the outside by chicken wire and a board to stop the rain coming in. Is that out in the open enough to help her home? Also, should I not clean the litter tray out today?

Get some of your worn clothes out of the laundry basket and hang them on the line outside. Any breeze will waft you and your family's scent around and she might be able to follow the scent home.

I know a few people it worked for.

I hope she's back soon. I know how awful it is when they go missing. My Bert was a terror for wondering off and not coming home for ages. I'd go nuts worrying.

Queens don't normally roam too far from home though, do they?
