LedZep342 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My cat went missing Thursday evening, and I haven't been able to find him since, then, I have a fair amount of woods in my backyard, so I'm not really sure where he could be. If anyone has any suggestions of what I could do, that would be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Where was the last time you saw him and do you usually find him in the woods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep342 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 The last time I saw him was on Thursday, in my yard, I usually do find him in the woods or sometimes my yard, but haven't for the last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Have you looked in every corner of the house? (cabinets, closets, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Call Animal Control and your local pound/animal shelters and ask if anyone has brought in a cat fitting your cat's description. Post flyers around your neighborhood with the cat's picture and knock on doors asking if anyone has seen him. Good luck and I hope you find him safe. I have two cats and a dog, and if anything happened to either of them, I'd cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep342 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Zepfilm, he's not in my house at all... and thanks Electrophile, I'll call right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I hope your cat returns soon. One day my dog wandered off, he was in the backyard of a house across the street, we tried to lure him home, and after like 10 minutes, we got him. Cats usually wander off alot and usually are quiet animals, if you find him it should be easy to get him back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 His name is Eclipse, we didn't name him that, he was already named when we saw him in the newspaper, we got him from a foster home about four years ago. And thanks, I was going to ask you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglelover Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 my cat returns if I open a can of food outside and tap on the dish while I put the food into it. Your cat must be pretty hungry by now--try it, it might work. My cat went missing Thursday evening, and I haven't been able to find him since, then, I have a fair amount of woods in my backyard, so I'm not really sure where he could be. If anyone has any suggestions of what I could do, that would be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I bet your cat is in the streets somewhere in your neighborhood. If you go around, you might find him. Did you try calling animal control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any suggestions of what I could do, that would be very helpful. How old is the cat and if the cat has been outdoors often his or her survival skills should be good enough to keep him alive. My male cat was gone for a week. I kept going back to the house we had do move from constantly and he finally showed up ok. There were nearby woods so he probably lived on mice or such. Hopefully that is the cass with yours. Keep going back to the same spot you last saw him/her. Should return. Good luck. Of course check all local trees and sewer grates. Look in road drains.

LedZep342 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks everyone! Yes silvermedalist he has been outside many times before, I'd say he's probably like 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hello, I hope your cat shows up. We lost our cat "Meowmallers" a few years back and he never showed up. You said you live near some woods? The thing about living near wild areas is that there are predators that you may not be aware of. Cats will wander a little ways off to hunt mice and other prey themselves, but they usually don't wander too far unless they are not fixed. Is your cat fixed? I think the thing people need to appreciate is that there are feral dogs in the woods as well as coyotes (especially in the western states) who hunt house pets (cats and dogs) all of the time. Where I live now there are hundreds of coyotes out at night. There are no "lost pets" where I live unfortunately, so take heed. That is what happened to our dear Meowmallers; it was coyotes. Keep up hope. Sometimes they just show up weeks later. I've had that happen too. Or sometimes they wander off and someone else takes them as a pet. Post some signs around, and hope for the best. Cheers, Mister Hamilton Well, I'm very sorry for your cat! I do live near the woods, but in the east fortunately! My cat hunts for prey a lot, he has lived outdoors for a while before he was taken in to a foster home, then we got him. Friday night, my other family members and I thought we heard a cat fight, our cat has gotten in fights before, but not any at all. That's what I'm hoping for, I am going to post a sign at my local Grocery Store, where other lost pet posts are, I just hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
