My cat Honey disappeared over a year ago. I posted quite a few notes on here as I was going through a terrible time when she went missing.  She's a tortie and bit tempermental. Even though we've moved away we still go the three miles back to our neighbour and walk about every so often. It's the only thing I feel guilty about is moving as we did everything we could to find her.

I know my old neighbours would also let me know if she turned up. I believe she's living with someone who panders to her whims and that one day we'll come across her again.

Sorry to post a sorry without an ending but the good thing that came of it was when we were out walking the streets at all hours,  Ernie our stray adopted us and he's still with us.

hi Ann,
Its sad your Honey has not come home, our Fuzz went missing nearly 7 years ago and we still have not given up hope of hearing whats happened to her and I had to smile about Ernie still being with you its always the case the stray you save sticks like glue ...........bless him.
3 miles is not that far and if you are keeping an eye out at your old house there still is that chance you have done all you can its up to Honey now, Fuzz was a tortie and temperamental  (half temper and half mental) it would be nice just to know.

Hi

My cat Troy has been missing since monday night. I was away til yesterday and my husband was looking after our 3 cats. It's not like Troy to stay away from home like this. He does come & go as he pleases but he always comes home to sleep at night and he's usually in during the day asleep on the bed too.  My husband thinks he is sulking coz I wasn't about as he is definatly my boy rather than my husbands but Ive been away before and he might have stayed out a few hours but not a day or more.  I'm beside myself with worry and have phoned local vets, the council, I've wandered around the streets calling him and nothing.  In a while I'm going to go knocking asking the neighbours to look in their sheds but I'm scared something has happened.  Are cats known to sulk if something displeases them?  Could he be punishing me for not being about for a few days?  We had a cat die last year from poisoning and I just can't go through something like that again.

Sorry to hear that Troy is missing. Having called the vets and the council I would take that as a good sign that he's not been found injured or worse. It is quite possible, particularly at this time of year that he has gone and got himself locked in someone's garage or shed. This has happened to me before and I also inadvertantly shut a neighbour's cat in my garage overnight last summer! Perhaps you could distribute some leaflets and put posters up around where you live?

I do hope he returns safely and soon.

Thanks Anna
I've just been round the neighbours and to the houses that gardens back onto ours and a street I myself have seen him in and there's been 2 or 3 sightings of a black cat since he went missing but then one guy said there's a few black cats about here but I've only ever seen one apart from Troy but he's a long haired cat.  If it is him though I don't understand why he's not coming to me when I call him.  I'm gonna go out when it gets dark and try calling for him then.  I just want my boy to come home and I'm in tears all the time at the moment.

So sorry Troy is missing and i do hope he finds you and vice versa

One thing to remember, when you call him stop and wait for a moment as it will take him time to get to you

good luck x

Oh these posts are really really sad, I am so sorry for all of you missing a loved furry baby.

When my cat went missing (he was actually my neighbours cat that adopted me) the family couldnt look after him through one thing or another - (mainly through running after pregnant teenagers) anyway I took him over to my parents house in Liverppol (from Wallasey) and he stayed upstairs in my brother's room as mum n dad had got two cats Tipsy and Matey and we thought they may fight.

My brother stupidly left his bedroom window open and Bu got out and jumped on the conservatory roof.  I heard a thud but though No way would my brother be so daft as to open a window with Bu there so I didn't check it out.

In the morning I was sick with worry and lived on ciggarettes and tea.  I went out and called him and nothing.  I had posters made and put an advert in the local paper that cost 126.00 pounds, and advertied in the free paper too.

I rang the vets up but would not ring the COUNCIL for obvious reasons.  I went out at night calling him.  Put posters up in telephone boxes etc but nothing.. I dont know what made me do it but I even wrote to June Brown (Dot in Eastenders) to ask for her advice.

10 days went by and nothing - until the evening time and then I got a phone call - someone had spotted Bu and described him - it was him BUT she was terrified of cats but the kind woman opened her kitchen door and Bu meowed - it was definetely him.
She got him in the kitchen and then shut the door so he couldnt get out and asked me to come over, but I was in Wallasey as it was the evening time.
My father was on his way out and I rang him so he cancelled his billiard match and went round and fetched BU back and my brothers friend who had a car brought him back to me
In the time that Bu was being brought back to Wallasey I got another phone call and I spoke to this lady who asked me had I lost a little cat and I said well i had done but he was being returned to me, and who was speaking and she said JUNE BROWN.

To say I was gobsmacked was an understatement she had taken the time out to see how I was and if Bu had been returned.  She told me she too had lost her cat and was very sympathetic.  She is a lovely caring person and helps a lot of animals.

So there are happy endings but just don't give up.  Keep going out (at night) and calling your furry and go round to neighbours houses and ask them to look in their sheds etc. Just dont give up.

Thinking of you all right now  Cry and wishing you every success of finding your beloved furry babies

I'm so sorry for all you people whose cats have gone missing and hope they come back soon.  I don't know what I'd do if my bundle of trouble would dissappear.  Although the suggestions that started of this trail would help, of course.

On the topic of preventing cat from disappearing a friend recommended the following if you have to move house.  After keeping the cat in the house for two weeks, accompany them outside and dip their feet in fish oil.  I haven't tried this myself, but apparently after the cat has licked its feet clean it's got used to the outside and it also enhanced a scent trail.

Has anyone ever tried it an does it work?
