My Cat's Gone Awol :-(

[barefoot]

One of my two cats hasn't been home since first thing this morning. It's very unlike her - neither of them wander far and are gone for long periods at a time and this one in particular always comes when she's called.

It's been a sunny day so I wonder if she's got herself shut in someone's garage. Otherwise, I just don't know why she wouldn't have come home yet - especially when we've been calling her.

I feel really upset and worried - my anxiety is through the roof.

Don't even know why I'm posting. Just feel rising panic :-(

Can you try luring her back with some food? Maybe if you take a walk around the neighborhood you will see her.

You're posting because your cat is part of your family, and you are worried about where she is, and if she is safe. As I was typing this @cat-lady posted what I would have recommended.
I hope that you find her x

I would be so upset and worried if my cat went missing! He is my buddy and he calms me and keeps me company and makes me smile when nothing else will.
I hope she makes her way home again.

Thanks all for hopeful thoughts!

I've walked round calling several times and have just dropped some flyers through the neighbouring roads. She always, always comes when she is called, so the fact that she isn't coming must mean she can't. So I think she might either be trapped in a garage/stuck on a roof or...worse :-(

Hoping, hoping she just turns up!

I am so sorry you are hurting. But you are being proactive and doing all the right things. Keep up the search and the hope x

Sorry to hear that. I can understand the panic, I am very attached to my cat, too. Please keep us posted. Crossing my fingers for you that your kitty shows up safe and sound!

Several years ago our cat Blue was missing, couldn't find him anywhere. walked the neighborhood calling his name...

When I came back home noticed my car window was open.... there he was curled up on front seat floor, staring up at me. I have no idea how that stinker got into my car (window half way down).

I hope your kitty comes home safe and sound.

Hugs.

I hope that your cat comes home, this has happened to me in the past and it is scary.

Please let us know if kitty comes home, sent a prayer your way for the both of you.

I was thinking of you this morning, have you found your cat? Has she come back?

Ah, thank you, @Silver.

No, she hasn't turned up. I'm finding the not knowing unbearable. I'm actually finding being with my other cat even more upsetting, so now think I'm avoiding her a bit, so now have to consciously try not to do that. I have cried on her several times today! Also, we're going on holiday next week and it feels awful to be going away a) with one missing and not knowing if she's ok and b) unsettling the other one even more by leaving her.

We've posted more flyers through doors and put loads of posters up. I've been going out calling all round our area at different times. Feels like I have to do it because I have to feel I'm doing all I can just in case. But it's so upsetting and dispiriting walking and calling and walking and calling and...nothing. I'm finding it very difficult not to assume the worst and to stay hopeful.

We're having quite a heatwave at the moment, so I'm getting increasingly worried that if she has been shut in a garage/she'd since Sunday....well...it's very, very hot... :-(
