Ok let's put this into context! Tonight Ella  went out and disappeared for an hour and a half. Even in my old place Ella never went far, here she sits on the fence in the front or the back garden or pads around the garden and  she is always in sight (Unlike Effie who used to go off who knows where!). Tonight she totally disappeared, i called out and nothing. I kept going out and calling her name, rattling biscuits and finally she sauntered up. I could barely breathe when she had gone and when she arrived I burst into tears and smothered her in cuddles.


So I think you are more than entitled to be having a meltdown! I thought of you when she came back cos I cannot imagine how you feel.

Sending you love xxxx

Sending lots of come home wishes your way.  This time of the year does seem to make our furbabies behave in uncharacteristic ways.  Dillon used to disappear for a couple of days at a time when he was younger, but he's so nosey I reckon he was gettng locked in sheds/garages etc.  The fact that it's been a long weekend could well mean people are away and Litle Miss has "visited" and got shut in.  At least the weather has not been extreme.  I too know that gut wrenching, unable to concentrate feeling.  Come on home Little Miss I reckon your Meowmy could do with a decent night's sleep by now. x

I've had a little bit of a meltdown this evening, everything was due to come to a head anyway and then someone had a right old pop at me for a fairly innocuous comment and it just tipped me over the edge :(

I just wish she would come back, it would give me such a boost and I so need it :'(

No calls from vets or rescuers is positive, it means no dead or injured Little Miss scraped from the road....
But why doesn't she come home???
Found some holiday home with a slave who spoils her rotten???

I'm something of an old veteran at cats going missing................

Childhood/teen cat, went missing for three months, turned up in a garden of an old family friend.

Housemates cat in London, went missing, put out flyers etc, got an email with ID pic, we thought he'd been in an RTA, walked through the door 9 days later ravenous but fine............

Chilli, went AWOL for 4 days when I first got Dave, friend coming to visit me, she knows him so pops out of the bushes to say hello right outside my flat!

Chilli, went AWOL again after again deciding she didn't like Dave (you wouldn't believe she actually grooms him occasionally now!) Turned up at the PDSA when a lady took her in for a check-up as she had adopted the "stray". Scanned and found to have an owner who was just round the corner!

Little Miss, went AWOL when previous owners recaptured her one evening and took her to her new flat after she moved in with me a couple of months previous. Posters up led to them calling me to let me know.

The there was the overnight incident a few weeks ago when she was chased by a tom and two ladies took her in after witnessing it. Turns out she goes down that way of her own accord anyway and would have found her way back of her own accord but nice ladies nonetheless.

And now this. It's a wonder, as Jackspratt said, I have any hair left but it does furnish me with endless optimism that they nearly always return :shy:

But sadly I have no news for you, no responses to my posters, no calls from vets and rescues and no Little Miss.

My last cat Jones disappeared for ten days once, over the Christmas and New Year holidays - he turned up looking very thin and had obviously been shut in somewhere.

Wonder if she has got herself locked in somewhere - shed, garage or even someone's house and they are away?

I helped a lady who adopted a cat from us that went missing (timid and shy girlie) we knocked on 100's and 100's of doors and searched gardens for over two weeks - widening and widening the search area. After 17 days she suddenly arrived home and it was obvious she had been locked in somewhere and had not been far away at all.

Do hope you get some good news soon or even better she gets herself home now  :hug:

I'm actually a spiritualist, although not "practising" at the moment, so not dismissive of animal communicators. However, they cost money and there are no guarantees of their abilities without extensive recommendations.

I do "talk" to her and whoever is up there looking out for me to send her home to me.

I can't get over what a lovely little community I live in, my upstairs neighbours knocked on my window earlier for a chat to tell me he and the neighbours had been talking about Little Miss, theories about where she could be and when they could all remember seeing her last. It's really nice to think my neighbours really care about her as well and how well known she and I are. Something good to come out of something bad.

Sounds like she is deliberately being kept indoors. Or else she has got herself locked in somewhere. My Tosca once went missing for 2 whole weeks before she walked in again. And when I was a child, the neighbours'cat came home after having been locked in somewhere for well over a month.

So don't give up hope, cats are survivors, trust her to come home, and keep talking to her in your mind, tell her to come home.

Have you ever considered contacting an animal communicator? I know it sounds weird, and I don't really believe in it, myself, but for the fact that someone who lived 150 miles away from me told me that Tosca was alive and locked in a dark place, when I already believed her to be dead. She also told me she smelled something rotting, a bit like leftover water from a vase of wilted flowers, and Tosca was injured on the left side of her head.
When Tosca came home, 4 or 5 days later, she had a festering, stinking wound under her left armpit, stretching to the left side of her chest and neck. Near enough to the description to make me rethink my disbelief.....
Somehow, she really COULD 'feel' Tosca.

She does visit other people, i know she does but she never stays long. As I said, she's totally different with me than she was before. When she used to visit me she'd stay for hours on end but now she only ever goes out for about an hour and by all account she just has a nosy round people's houses, gets a fuss then is on her way again. She never misses a meal ever and spends 90% of her day asleep on my bed. I can't leave the flat without her trying to follow me and she escorts me to the local corner shop even coming in with me. She's my shadow and I just don't think she would take up residence somewhere else, she has it too good here!

There have also been no sightings (other than that one last night but I really do think it was a different cat now) since Thursday night and she's infamous round here, if she'd been seen I would know. I have lovely neighbours who I chat to quite regularly and a couple of ladies at the further reaches of LM's territory who are also looking out for her.

I've just phoned the local vet and their hospital and they've not had any cats handed in over the weekend. Local (most well known) rescue hasn't got her either. CP are shut on Tuesdays.

I'm really hoping that's a good sign and she is shut in somewhere.

Do you think she might be making herselves comfortable in other people's homes Shona? Like when you took her in as she was spending so much time hanging round but unbeknown to you she had a home.

I just went down to where she was supposed to have been seen and I think I know it can't have been her. It's just too close, not even 100m from my flat. I did make friends with a ginger tabby who usually runs away from me, amazing what a tub of Temptations can do!

I just want her back now :(

Well, I've got up to a voicemail from someone saying they may have seen but it's just at the back of my flat so I'm not sure it was her they saw or her little black and white friend, need to wait till a more reasonable hour to ring them back and I'll go out with some treats to rattle in a little bit.

If it was her it would be extremely odd.
