He didn't make his way home on his own, but someone found him (five miles away across a freeway) and brought him to our vet so we got him back. He lost his ears from frostbite though. Looked like a chipmunk after that ouch. :/ im so sorry to hear that, i know he lost his ears but did he still retain his hearing? | ||

It was found by our neighbour like...a week and a half after it went missing, and they kept care of it for a few days. Directly beside us. They didn't realize for four days that the ginger cat they found, was the ginger cat we were looking for. Morons. | ||

I have had many cats over the past decade. Some left and never returned but they were relatively new cats and umm... I don't know why they left. All the cats I had for a decent period of time know their surroundings well and would return. Cats like to roam and sometimes hide. Judging by your attachment, the cat will return. | ||

This. I have a cat that was missing 4 days, he came back un harmed. Don't worry you'll see your cat :D | ||

DON'T DO THIS, TRUST ME You wanna know why you don't wanna put a bell on a cat? Because if you are living in an area with any other large animal that is a predator to the cat in the area (such as a coyote, hell even racoons sometimes), the cat will not be able to hide/run-away/escape. I lost my first cat because of this. We have coyotes in the area and my cat had a collar with a bell and we have come to the conclusion that the cat got eaten because she wasn't able to hide from the coyote because the bell kept jingling. Please do not put a bell on a cat's collar unless you really want to increase the cat's chance of it getting eaten. | ||
