I have a female cat and she escaped the home in heat time. We tried to find her near by and places where she used to go. But we did not get her.
Its been 7 days yet she has not come to home.
Problem is that she is very coward... She get piss of when other male cat come and fight with her...
Even she don't know haunting and only eat cat food
I m worried how she would be surviving?
I m loosing hope min by min.

I've had many cats disappear in my youth... We have a cat now that loves to go outside during the summers, and once disappeared for about 2 days. I walked about 5 miles looking for her, and eventually she showed up at the doorstep at midnight and jumped into my arms.

When I was little my cat disappeared once, we went looking for him and everything but we couldn't find him. On the way home from school one day I saw him in another persons house through their window. It turned out that he had been visiting that house regularly and had gotten in while they had left on a trip. Somehow my mom sorted it out but apparently he'd been there quite a while without food or a litter box... It was lucky I noticed him when I did, there's a chance he could have starved or something.

Anyways, just keep an eye out, you might come across your cat without meaning to. Also there were many times growing up where a cat didn't come home right away but eventually it did, so there's a good chance the cat will come back.

edit: omg, the original post is really old, I didn't notice

Most of the time, cats will always find their way home, no matter how far they get unless something outside of their control happens. I hope your cat comes back

every time i come to this thread i find something ever more depressing ~.~

A few years ago, probably around a decade now, a cat of my then girlfriend disappeared for 3 weeks. No traces of the cat anywhere despite searching through every single brush and hole in the neighborhood, so after a week everyone assumed that it died by car accident or something. After those 3 weeks it came in through the cat flap full of ticks (literally hundreds of them), but otherwise healthy. Took a few vet visits to get those ticks removed, but a few days later he was fully recovered. To this day no one knows where he went.

If cats are used to going outside, they'll find their way back eventually.

I know it's an old thread but saw a couple of people post 2 months ago. We rescued a cat that was left at home when his owners moved house. He started living in a shed then got put in a shelter. We got him 4 weeks ago and decided to let him out last night. We watched him follow abother cat and that was the last we saw of him. We've put his litter tray outside but not sure if this will help. He's neutered and microchipped. Just wondered if anyone has had a similar situation?

I got a new cat from a shelter that's been neutered and microchipped but I've only had him for 4 days and he suddenly disappeared and I looked everywhere, he's not inside so I looked outside and I can't find him anywhere. He's very friendly and likes to be picked up I have a feeling someone took him inside their house like a neighbor or someone. He's also litter box trained and only eats dried cat food so I'm wondering if he would follow his scent and come back home? He really loved us and we treated him right this whole time. Btw it hasn't even been a day so i know I shouldn't panic yet but I love him so much I just miss him. This is my first time owning a pet so I'm just curious and have too much questions and what ifs. I just wanna know if there's a possibility a new cat like him will ever come back?
