I've recently ( over a month) started to let my cats go outside, they have been great at coming home, but my eldest one has been out since 5 and still hasn't come back.

I didn't feed him so that he would be hungry and come ome and yet he's still not here.

I'm very worried, am I being unreasonable?

He's probably shacked-up with someone who will feed him! Alternatively, and it depends on how old and whether he's had a little operation, he could be having a really good time... :hihi:

He'll be back.

He's about 7 and he's definatly had the 'op' , just worried because he's a rescue cat and wasa stray when we got him.

There's a lot of frogs around at the moment; he's likely playing with one right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he brings you one back later on as a present! If he's anything like ours, he'll let you know that you need to let him in around 3:30a.m. by wailing and meowing at the top of his voice underneath your bedroom window!

i hope so, i'm at my wits end!

Panic over ...he's home! Came strolling in with no worries!


feel like a right Numpty now tho! lol

Think we've all been there... panicked, felt stupid, wish we hadn't let everyone else know just how totally besotted we are with the silly creatures :hihi:

I think we've all been there I remember getting in a right old state about every single kitten I had when they first didn't come home when expected, evil beasties are cats :hihi:

I get in a right old state hoping the wretched creature won't come back, but she always does... :D

I get worried when ours are out for any length of time, glad he is home

Glad he's back, one of mine was missing overnight once and I was in bits.

I do try to be chilled about mine when they go out, but if you saw me when I'm fostering if any of the foster babies makes a break for it over the doorstep (or on one occasion, out of the kitchen window!). All of the neighbours get dragged in to fetching them back in!

One of our cats went missing last year - she was gone all day. We'd feared wth worse until at 11pm that night we got a knock on our door asking if we had a fluffy cat.. we do.

My OH had to go to one of our neighbours houses and retrieve her... she'd been causing terror in there all afternoon and evening! very embarrassing. I still wonder how they weren't able to get a scared cat out of their house though....hmm, very suspicious.

Glad it's not just me then. I've never had a foster cat escape yet, but it's been pretty close. Had mass panic last week when I thought the mum of the kits I'm looking after had made a bid for freedom. Had all the neighbours out looking for her. Found her 3 hours later in my walk in wardrobe where she'd made herself comfortable!! I think she was enjoying the peace away from the kits :hihi:

Mine has vanished, been gone 3 days now, when he only ever goes for a few hours at a time, im SO worried about him, i want my baby cat home asap. I have posted a missing thread on here and have started to post flyers, Its AWFUL waiting to hear that meow at the door. I just hope it actually happens soon,a nd he is back on our bed safe and sound :(

i know tom cats do roam looking for females they will go a long way to find 1 they can go missing for days on end we have had this done loads of times but they do come back .
