my cats tend to go missing when it rains - they find some shelter somewhere then come back when it stops, I suspect thats what yours has done as cats loathe water and rain dont they!

hope she is back safe and sound this morning

my heart goes out to you... I experienced a similar thing a few years ago. My cat never went far, and always came home. then one cold tea time he didnt show, and i couldnt go to bed for ages. I thought i would go to bed and he would be outside in the morning... but he wasnt!
This went on for 7 weeks!!!!!! i really thought i had lost him forever, i ws so sad... then one night about 11.00pm I was in the bathroom, and I just heard this cry.. i shouted.. 'DUSTY!!!!!!!'... and sure enough it was him at the back door. I couldnt believe it. He was ok, and he was a bit scruffy and thinner, but was otherwise fine.
I have no idea where he had been all that time, but he came home eventually.
I just wanted to tell you my story to try and give you hope for your cat.
hope he comes home soon hun

Hi Cloclo........I hope you find your little cat soon..........my cat is almost 13 but she used to disappear for days at a time, she was gone for four days at one time, but she always came back, she doesnt do it now so i can only imagine that someone used to make a fuss of her and poss feed her (she wouldnt always eat when she came back) and have prob moved away now or its just cos she's too old and cant be bothered.........cats know where they are best off thats why mine always came home when she'd finished out on the razz lol...................anyway good luck i know how worrying it is

Hey cloclo - hope your kitty comes back soon.

Is there anywhere she could have got shut in? Any garages or anything? The reason I ask is that a friend of mines cat went missing one Thursday night before easter one year, and he turned up home again on the Tuesday morning absolutely starving and filthy so we think he must have got shut in a garage or something.

Another thought for you - could your kitty get in if she was hurt? My friends other cat got run over and broke his pelvis, and he tried to come home but couldn't jump over the gate - he eventually made it home a couple of days later when the binmen left the gate open!

Have you tried calling the local vets just in case she's been hurt and someone has taken her in?

Hope she comes back soon!

Aww cloclo, I know just how you feel its awful isn't it. One of my cats went missing for days and I went out of my mind with worry, she was 13 years old so I feared the worst but I asked my mum to pop up to the house a few times during the day to see if she turned up and my mum went round to our neighbours and found her up on a high shelf in their greenhouse. She had been chased by something that had got hold of her leg and dislocated her hip so she couldn't get down again! She was meowing her head off but because they were an elderly couple they did hear her. She was very pleased to get home and have some dinner and a warm bed!

As Kia says its worth giving the local vets a call to see if she has been handed in injured. Does she have an electronic tag? Sorry to say that another of my cats went missing over night and the next morning I got a call from the vets to say he had been taken in and had been knocked down by a car. They got hold of me quickly as he was tagged, he survived for a few days but unfortunately because of his injuries he didn't make it. It was terrible but I was so pleased that at least I knew where he was and what had happened and was able to bring him home to bury him.

Fingers crossed that she turns up soon and has an exciting adventure to tell you about.

hugs Liz xx

oh poor you and poor kitty!

try and stay positive x >>

Check all bushes around and call all the vets, even ones not so close cos she might have wandered, got hurt and someone might have taken her to a 24hr vet if it was late. They aren't always local as not many seem to be open 24hrs.

Crossing everything and i'm sure she'll be home soon safe and well as if nothing has happened x

There's nothing worse than a missing pet! I know I get worried if I haven't seen mine in a few hours never mind more! Hope she's just hiding in someone elses house and that she'll come back.
