Answer 1

I hope that this works and you find your kitty.




In all liklihood, the owner of indoor-outdoor cats will eventually face the sorrow of having a cat turn up missing. However, the chances are good (or bad) that your cat did not run away. Cats are very territorial (even the neutered ones) and will defend their territory at all costs, and if driven out by another alpha cat who is bigger and meaner, will seek safety indoors (if allowed that option) before running off. The truth is that the chances are more likely that a cat has been unwillingly removed from the area, injured, or killed.
In order to find your cat, you need to consider the possible reasons for his absence, many of them distressful. However, this is the time to set aside emotions and to rationally evaluate the possibilities, with an appropriate action for each. Here are several possible scenarios, to get you started:

By Human Intervention


Picked up by Animal Control
Picked up by another cat lover who thinks your cat is "lost"
"Rescued" by someone who thinks your cat is "abandoned," "neglected," or "stray"
Abducted for gain by professional "cat nappers"
Abducted by others for sick purposes (dog-baiting, ritual sacrifice)
Trapped and "disposed of" by a cat-hating neighbor
Accidental "abduction" (Cat hides in vehicle; is driven out of area)
Injured or Killed


By auto accident
By a dog or another cat
By wild animals (coyote, skunk, or raccoon)

With these thoughts in mind, you can plan your strategy for recovering your cat if he is still alive, or to bring closure if it is discovered he isn't. Time is of the essence, and you may need to perform all of the following actions:
Make up flyers with a photo of the cat, offer a reward (more about this later), distribute the flyers door-to-door in at least a three-block radius, also post in store windows and on telephone poles
Ask your Animal Control Officer to stop by; give him/her a flyer and as that s/he be on the lookout
Call all the veterinarians in your area, in the event a "guardian angel" brought your cat in with injuries; ask if you can leave a flyer there
Visit your local animal shelter; leave a flyer and ask if a cat meeting the description has been brought in, alive or dead
Visit your local school and ask that children keep their eyes (and ears) open for information about your cat; hand out flyers, if allowed
Advertise in the newspaper - most will allow free "lost & found" ads
Check the newspaper listing for "found cats"
Post to local Internet pages specifically designed for lost/missing pets
Check with local rescue organizations; ask for permission to visit foster homes that may have recently taken in a cat meeting the description
Hire a "pet detective," preferably one with tracking dogs and other technology designed for that purpose

Answer 2

Start posting lost pet flyers, EVERYWHERE. Check with the local humane society and file a lost report with them. Leave a flyer in your mailbox and ask your postal carrier to let you know if he/she sees the cat. Go out searching in garages, sheds or any building the cat could be hiding in to feel safe. As you search, call the cat's name or mimick the sounds you used to call the cat to you at home. Check with vets in your area, if the cat was injured someone may have taken it there. Go to Petfinder.com where you can post a lost cat notice. And keep searching, don't give up. And when you do find him, consider having him microchipped, it could save his life if this happens again.

Oh not a problem i introduced my new kitten, Shiloh, to my 11year old cat,lucky, about 6 months ago they hated eachother at the start they hissed at eachother and stayed at different parts of the room but after about 2 weeks they were sleeping in the same bed togerther and eating together now that Shiloh is 7 months old they are inseperable. Lucky cleans Shiloh and they are best friends. So just be patient they will warm up to eachother.:) hope this helps Rach xoxo

Answer 4

Cats are by and large intelligent animals. That doesn't mean they can't have accidents or get lost, though.

Have you tried making posters with your cat's picture and/or description on it? Or maybe put an ad in the lost and found.

Keep searching. You might find him, or he might find you.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I agree with everybody else's comments! I have had cats that have been gone for 3 to 5 months and just appeared one day again. They were not fixed though, believe me that helps for more than just this reason, to fix them. Also it is better for the cat to keep it in if possible! God Bless you and kittie, and I hope it comes back!!!

Answer 6

He may be "tom catting" around, he may be back in a few days. I have had cats do this. In the mean time you could make out some flyer's and post them around the neighborhood. Good Luck home you find him soon.

Answer 7

Cats like to run away....Odds are he will turn up! But check your local shelter everyday!! My cat ran away not too long ago....and he never leaves!! I thought for sure that he was gone forever...I mean he was gone for about a month...But cats are really smart and they will find their way back! I hope he shows up soon!! I know how it feels to miss your kitty!!! :'(

Answer 8

Call your local animal shelter and see if they may have picked up your cat. Make a flyer with your cat's picture on it and take it to your local veterinary offices in your area and ask them to hang it up for you. Good luck finding your kitty....

Answer 9

He might just have gone to look around. Is he spayed/neutered? She can be in heat/someone is in heat. Make a lost pet sign and put it around the neighborhood. Also stop by the local vet clinics and leave them a sheet they can hang up and the local shelters as well. Good luck. I hope you find him/her.

Answer 10

Well first you should put up flyers. Put a picture in the flyer and describe him. If hes wearing a collar, if he has any repeated habits. ( like cleaning himself alot, etc) And also put your # or a way 2 get ahold of you. Then ppl will call you and you should find him FAST! GOOD LUCK!!!!! I HOPE I HELPED!
