Missing Kitty

My kitty's gone AWOL....
He went out of the house after lunch yesterday and hasn't appeared home yet.
It's very unlike him. He usually spends all day coming in and out of the house, and is always in during the night.
I'm pretty sure he'll have got locked in somewhere (he has a tendancy to be nosey).... but god only knows where.
I'm starting to fret now.
Poor kitty.......
How long is he likely to survive trapped in somewhere without food/water????

    have you done the usual vets, CP, RSPCA ring around just incase hes been handed in.
    try knocking or putting notes through neighbours doors and you are allowed 2 weeks on a lamp post poster but it is advised you date it or local council might get grumpy.
    Remember where you have put them too as its up to you to take them down after the 2 weeks or as soon as you have found your kitty.

    hope he returns home to you soon

    Poor you. My cat went missing & I gave out leaflets & put notices up, phoned the Cats Protection.
    She strolled back 6 weeks later as if nothing had happened so don't give up hope!

    Check him for actual staining, if so treat the area with light soaping to stop him washing it off himself. If he just smells it'l wear off.

    Glad he's home, it is heartbreaking to feel your cat is lost. bet you're lovin him up not reading this biggrin.gif

    They always do that. It's to do with bein in charge and maybe slight resentment that you didn't save him from the indignity of being lost in the first place!

    They're completely independant but if it goes wrong you should have made it right again quickly, Kinda adolescents full timebiggrin.gif It's just embarrassment on sweet kitty.

    Hope he settles back down. My guess is that by sunday he'l be all 'what panic? twas easy'

    Glad all's well. Big love to you, your family and the one who looks 'who, me?' atya!biggrin.gif
