Post your CAT pictures here! (2)

I'm crying my heart out; my Missy has been missing for 4 days now! We have posted signs "Missing Cat", checked every shelter in the vicinity of our home, asked all over the neighborhood etc. She was either taken by someone or a coyote! I haven't slept very much in the last few days and my heart is totally broken. I don't know what else to say apart that Missy has left a huge void in my heart! I loved her dearly after adopting her last June. 2 years after Madame Patches of 18 years left us so suddenly! Wherever she is I hope she is happy. And if she was taken by a coyote, I hope he got sick!

Oh no. That is so sad. Let's hope (pray) she is just out exploring the world and will come back shortly. We won't even talk about the coyote thing. That didn't happen.


I am certain you have but did you check everywhere a door or something along those lines might have been opened and closed later? Just an idea.


I sure do pray you find her

Oh no .... please return home safely, Missy.

Pete, thank you for your kind words.
Missy wasn't the kind who explores the world and she did, she did it for a few hours just around the house.
Well, the coyote thing is pretty much real in my neighborhood; several small dogs and cats have disappeared recently. Those beasts roam our streets freely during the day. It makes me sick when I see them!

I have been to almost 200 homes around my area! She has never been away for more than 1 hour.

I just hope that she will knock on the patio sliding door soon!

I understand about the coyote thing. It is a real concern around many places. But you can not allow that possibility to enter your mind. It will drive you crazy. It did not happen.

Not prying or being nosey but was she fixed? If not, that could also be possible. We had one of ours disappear for over a week running around. Did not see even a glimpse of her. Then she and her boyfriend showed up one day.

Either way, I will be going to bed in a bit for the new work day. And I will say a prayer for a safe return............

Thank you, Pete. She was fixed so there is no way that she was in heat.
I will wait and hopefully she will just sit on our doormat telling me about her wild world adventures!

Oh no, Renata! I hope she turns up soon. Could she have gotten under your house or in a shed or something? Like Pete said, maybe she got "stuck" someplace and hasn't found her way out. Have you checked animal control to make sure they haven't picked her up? Was she micro-chipped? I really hope she turns up for you.

My favorite stray kitty who'd been coming around for about 4 years or so disappeared a couple of months ago. We don't have many coyotes around here, and I don't think that's what happened to him. I worry that my neighbor's obnoxious barking dog may have gotten him. That dog has turned in to a royal PITA. I can't even be out in my backyard without his barking at me, and he barks when the strays come for food too. I have another name for him, but I won't say it here. If you saw "The Jerk", you can guess it pretty easily.

Fingers crossed that Missy turns up for you! On a happier note... here's one of my Bashful chilling out at the top of the stairs on a kitty scratcher this afternoon.

Lisa, we have checked everything! And I mean I turned the world here upside down. No way to be under a house; homes here have no basements and there are on concrete slabs. I have walked and driven miles around, called etc. Normally, when she was outside, I just opened the door and called "Missy" and here she was, within seconds.
She has a micro-chip. Every vet within a radius of 15 miles has been approached and made aware of her identity, every shelter, animal control etc. has been approached and alarmed. I just don't know what else to do. We are part of Next Door where people communicate and I have approached thousands of neighbors that are on that website, numerous posters have been posted everywhere. I must have printed 500 of them. Trouble with Missy is that she is super friendly and not afraid of people. I'm still hopeful!

Your stray kitty is beautiful and I can only hope that she was "adopted" by a friendly, loving soul

Oh now.... my heart hurts too, I know how much you love her..... we keep our paws crossed hoping she will turn up...

Oh, Renata, what an awful thing to read when checking in on the kitties. I know Missy became such a big part of your family and ours too via POTN. I so hope you find her soon - my heart bleeds for you.

Sounds like you have done everything you could but I still wouldn't give up the search. I had a cat missing for three days and he was found, lost, crouching under a dilapidated car not knowing the way home - it was shortly after I moved. I had almost given up - please don't.

Annie, thank you for your kind words.
She is still missing but I haven't given up. But my heart is broken, never-the-less

I am so sorry. We had one missing for 4 days, and he turned up under a neighbors porch. Another friend found his in a closet after a few days..just never thought he would still be in the house. I know you are trying everything, but go on Facebook to alert people in your town.

Our prayers are with you...

Steve, thank you very much. I have alerted everybody I could think of. Still hoping!
