Question

I just started letting my cat out on the balcony of my apartment, I live on the first floor, but the balcony is like 4 feet from the ground and its been like 3 days since Ive been letting him out and he's stayed on the balcony, except for 2 times when he fell off accidentally.. but he waited under my balcony for me to call him and get him...
This time, he wasn't on the balcony, underneath, around the aparment building and I dont know what to do.. Im really scared he might have gotten hit by a car or something terrible...

Can yall gimme some advice on how I can get my kitty to come back?

Im really sad.. I love my Santana.. Ive had him since birth and I raised him (hes like 8 months now) and he loves me so much too..

Answer 1

From personal experience, I would say that your cat will come back. Cats love to go exploring, but after 8 months, he knows where home is, even if it's in the city. Somebody else may be feeding him and treating him to other luxuries... but he will get out of there before long and come back to you.

Answer 2

You have let him go out on the balcony and he had now worked up the courage to go exploring. At 8 months his hormones could be leading to search for females. This is very bad situation as he will go quite far away, unfortunately.

Statistically more unneutered males are killed by cars than females or neutered males.

If you have dirty laundry put a few pieces of clothing around your area. Walk around the area in your bare feet. Cats find their way home by smell, not sight. Leave his food out for him and take it up when it is dark. If possums and/or raccoons (night prowlers) get it you won't know if he has gotten it.

I do hope Santana gets home safely to you. Now you know that he should not be let out, even on the balcony.

Answer 3

Start looking for him, NOW! He could have been injured in the fall from the balcony and is hiding nearby unable to come to you.

Start putting out flyers, ask your neighbors if they see him to let you know, file a lost report with your local humane society or animal control services, check with vets to see if he was taken there with an injury by someone. Find out who you call to see if he was picked up as a DOA on the roads.

If you just started letting your cat out on your balcony, why did you start doing now in the first place? If he wasn't used to it before, why start doing it now. Besides, if he still was new to the balcony you could have kept an eye on him to make sure he was ok with it.

Answer 4

If you have not had him neutered he just may be out there with a female. he is now old enough.also you can call all the vets and have them put a notice on thier buliton board also run an add in the paper with location and phone number. also check with all the neighbors and the humane society and annimal control. if he is mating he could be gone for a few days and may come home all beaten up. Hopefully he has his shots in case he gets bitten by another male cat he wont get feline lukemia or other diseases.If you find him keep him inside. they live longer and will adjust also if not neutered at his age do it asa possible

Answer 5

Answer 6

As a kitten, she needs to eat kitten food till she is one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. in case you haven't any reachable, it extremely is going to likely be okay to feed her something else till you get to the save the following day. I rather have given mine left over cooked meat from dinner as a handle, yet do no longer make it a habit. you will be able to desire to finally end up with a finicky cat who won't eat cat food. once you will be able to get to a save, I propose dry kitten food. My innovations are to bypass away a bowl of dry food out each and each of the time as nicely as a bowl of sparkling water. be optimistic to alter the water each and every day. starting to be kittens could eat oftentimes as a results of fact they are very energetic. Cats and kittens won't over eat except they have a scientific concern. in case you opt for to apply moist/canned food, it extremely is superb, yet you will no longer be waiting to bypass away great quantities out all day. It wil dry out and get the bowl nasty. dogs food is an extremely great NO-NO! Cat's can bypass blind eating dogs food as a results of fact they desire taurine for their eye wellness which dogs food lacks. as quickly as you're able, take the recent kitten to the vet for a complete examine-up. The vet can grant her all her photos to maintain her risk-free from illnesses and supply her drugs to do away with intestinal worms. All puppies and kittens desire worming. The "roly-poly" look is brought about by utilising worms. distinctive the worms come from eating fleas, so be optimistic to get a flea drugs. I strongly do no longer propose utilising over the counter flea/tick drugs. They reason extreme everlasting techniques and nerve injury. i exploit benefit for Cats. it extremely is utilized to the decrease back of their neck and final a month. benefit starts killing fleas very almost at contemporary and could save them off your puppy and out of your place. ultimate needs!
