I am absolutely beside myself Iv'e been out loking all morning have just come back in to upload a photo to identichip, It's most unlike him he doesn't ever go out of the garden I'm at a loss as to what has happened
-
Oh no :hug: I hope he's just gone for a walkabout and comes strolling in very soon, wondering what all the fuss is about.
-
He was in overnight he must have gone out first thing and hasn't been seen since, he loves his food but he wasn't back for breakfast he really literally doesn't go anywhere, he is terrified of other people I can only imagine he is hurt and can't get home or he has been chased by another cat and doesn't know where he is. We are surrounded by fields so there are lots of places he could have got chased, I'm so scared
-
So sorry, start door knocking and searching now :hug: :hug:
-
Try not to worry, it's early days yet :hug: Sending come home vibes to Geoffrey :hug:
-
Hope you find him soon :hug:
-
We live in a tiny village I have knocked on just about every door I have climbed in every garden I have been able to access and have driven up and down all the nearby roads and so far nothing, I've just uploaded his photo to identichip and will go back out in a moment, I just needed to sit down for a mo. It's really very unlike him I'm so worried
-
Check this thread for ideas. Even in a small village, he could be in the one place you haven't looked
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,305.msg0.html#new
Have you asked people to check their outbuildings? He may have got shut in somewhere. If he's a bit of a scaredy cat, chances are he hasn't gone far and is just trapped somewhere, or is out of his comfort zone and unsure of how to get home.
:hug:

Try not to worry - Jerry did this to us the other evening , and he was in the field just fine. He was hunting and obviously suffering from selective deafness!
-
Thanks all, just been out again, been to virtually every house in the village now, walked round the nearest fields and am completely at a loss. It is so out of character for him, he is totally a 100% homely boy, he literally wanders down the garden, does his business and comes back in. I have personally checked most of the neighbours gardens and have called and listened in all of them. I have no idea what to do now, we are about to start making up posters and leaflets. I can't stop crying.
-
:hug:
Defo start on the leaflets and posters, I have everything crossed he'll wander in later today like nothing has happened :hug:
-
Hope he returns very soon :hug:
-
also notify vets and rescues... if he did wander off chasing a bird or anything then end up looking lost some person could hand him in trying to be helpful
I'm sure just as you are convinced you are about to have an actual heart attack then he will saunter up and demand food
-
Thanks all, am just printing off some posters and leaflets now. Something must be horribly wrong as he rarely goes out of the garden and never misses a meal. I've phoned all the local vets and also identichip locate are supposed to be contacting all vets/cpl etc within a 20 mile radius. I'm absolutely beside myself
-
I'm sorry that Geoffrey is missing, you're doing all the right things to try and find him. I know what a horrible feeling it is especially when its out of character. I hope he is back soon :hug:
-
Really hope he comes home soon :hug:
-
Something must be horribly wrong as he rarely goes out of the garden and never misses a meal.
:hug: not necessarily: Blip is the same but one day years ago she took herself off overnight. I was as worried as you. I came back in from putting up a second batch of posters to find her sitting behind the front door, right as rain. To this day, I don't know where she went, but I suspect she got herself shut in somewhere. Keep calling him :hug:
-
I'm keeping everything crossed for his safe return. I know how worrying it is and, as others have said, I'm sure that he will return safe and sound.
Thinking of you.
Best.
Leigh

Keeping everything crossed that Geoff is back home soon. Do you want me to move this thread to the "lost and found" section?
-
Sam - I';ve started a separate thread over there just now
I'm exhausted, I've been hunting all lday I've just leafleted the village and surrounding area just printing off a few more leaflets now, there is something very wrong I have been in virtually every garden, up the pub, the farmer let me in to look around all the outbuildings I have nowhere left to look but I can't just sit here I am devastated Geoffrey is my baby
-
:hug: I suspect Geoffrey has got himself shut in somewhere. Hopefully as people get home from work he will be found and will come home to you hun. :hug: :hug:
-
I hope so, but I'm not so sure, as he isn't the sort of cat to go wandering around other people's garages and sheds and stuff, at that time in the morning he literally goes out for a wee and comes back in again. Most people are home now, we've just been round again and no sign. I'm exhausted and there's nothing more I can do tonight, thanks for all your thoughts i'll keep you posted xxx
-
I really hope Geoffrey comes home soon - perhaps he got distracted by something and went on a bit of a wander. sending out come home vibes :hug: :hug: :hug:
-

I'm so pleased to say that Geoffrey is home! We just got a phone call from someone out walking their dog to say they think they saw him over the other side of the village - so off we rushed and after about 20 minutes of looking and calling, he answered us! We carried on talking to him and he talked back until we found him cowering in the corner of a garden. He wouldn't have known where he was and he was terribly frightened and jumpy. He's eaten some dinner and seems happy to be back, doesn't seem to be injured at all.
I really thought I wasn't ever going to see him again! I'm just sooooooooooooooo relieved!
-
So glad he's now home safe and no doubt grounded for a while! :Luv2:
-
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Woo Hoo - :welcome: home Geoffrey, fill a bowl of chicken for him and a glass of wine for you and all the stress will disappear :hug:
-
wow, Gill how loud can you shout???
seems some guy walking his dog heard everyones vibes!
so glad he's home!

:Flowers:
WELCOME BACK YOU NAUGHTY NAUGHTY BOY :evillaugh:
-
:yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: Great news ;D
-
Good. :hug:
-
Good news :hug:
-
I'm absolutely cream crackered! I must have walked miles today! I could really have done with a glass of wine earlier but I didn't in case he turned up and needed to be taken to the emergency vets. And now the shop is shut and I don't have any!
On a really positive note, I'm encouraged at what a great little community I live in, we have had several phone calls from people this evening (including a few dog walkers saying their dogs had taken a particular interest in a certain plot of land etc) and all the people I saw were all too happy to search their sheds/garages and let me wander round their gardens calling him. The local pub had put a notice up on their bar too. And by the time I got to some houses who had been out earlier, they already knew, so the village gossip mill obviously works well too :rofl:
-
and your Mad Overly Protective Cat Mummy image is assigned to you forever? :innocent:
my village if I asked about my cat that would lead to him being knicked until a reward was offered *sigh*
-
aww thats great news x
-
Brilliant news, so pleased for you ;D
-
So pleased to hear he's home, wonder what made him wander? I suppose you'll never know. What a relief :hug:
-
Woo Hoo what great news ... he's probably jumpy because of all those dogs trying to sniff him out! :rofl: :rofl:
It's amazing how a lost kitty can unite a community ... I remember meeting so many nice people when Zephyr and Rossi went missing.
-
I am so pleased ;D
-
What wonderful news, :hug: im so pleased hes home, now you can get some muchearned rest :hug: :hug:
-
Good to hear he is home safely
-
So glad he's home :hug:
I reckon he might have a gf on the scene somewhere :shify: :shify:
-
Great news, I am so pleased that you found him. :hug:

I am really really happy for you. I wanted to say somethign yesterday but I couldn't bring myself to be part of this post becasue my Smudge went missing last November and after all my searching I found him dead in April the day after someone had seen him.
I read everyone's replies and I know they had given you lots of good ideas so I knew I couldn't add anything.
The amount of things that go through your mind is unbelievable. I hated the things I was thinking as Smudge never went away either.
Mary :hug:
-
So glad hes home! :Luv2:
-
Im glad hes home ;D
-
I reckon he might have a gf on the scene somewhere :shify: :shify:
I'd better not tell Milly :evillaugh:
Thanks for all your kind words and concern, it definitely means a lot to have people to talk to when you're worrying so much. Geoffrey is fine today, a bit quiet and clingy and he slept with his head on mummy's hand but he certainly hasn't attempted to go anywhere!
There seems to be a bit of a 'turf war' going on, Bluebell another cat has a territory of about a mile, she bullies every cat in the village (so I discovered chatting to other kitty owners yesterday!) we reckon that Geoffrey chased her off but ended up being off his territory and got lost from there - the part of the village we found him was the end that she lives at, and he wouldn't have known where he was.
We had a phone call from the local farmer this evening to see if we'd found him, I thought that was really lovely - he said he'd check the barns and everything this morning but in all honesty I'm not sure I believed that he would :shy: so I'm even more pleased at my lovely community!
Do you think I should put notes back round telling everyone he's back and thanking them for their support? I don't want to be a nuisance but on the other hand so many people have shown genuine concern that I really would like to thank them.
-
I think that would be really nice to let them know as they sound a great community, unlike here!
-
BRILLIANT NEWS :wow: ;D :wow:
-
How cool is my village - I put a note round on Monday saying thank you to everyone, and two people have put notes back through saying they're really pleased to hear a happy outcome, and we got home from work today to find a box of whiskas left in our postbox - no note or anything :Crazy:
So now I've got no idea who phoned us to say they'd seen Geoffrey, and no idea who has given us some food :Crazy:
-
thats wonderful ;D
