Anyone ever have a cat disappear for more than a day?

[Turf1600]

Somehow my favorite cat got out and wandered off....I'm super worried because he's never done this before and he's declawed. I've looked all over my neighborhood and there's no sign of him. Anyone ever have a similar experience?

My cat did this a few times but the last time he never came back. Most cats when they get old leave and dont come back because they just find a place they like and die.

yeah.

my sister had a cat that got stuck in someones garage for a week. They locked her in on accident before leaing town, when they came back they found her and called my sister. she was alive but lost a lot of weight.

my cat ran away for about a week, when he came back he smelled like an old womans perfume.

he will turn up

I've heard of this happening a lot, too. How old is your cat?

Cats are wierd like that, too. My mom's cats will just vanish for 2-3 days at a time. They'll come back when they get hungry, they know where home is.

My cat is 4. He's definately curious. I'm just worried sick because he's never done this and he's declawed.

What an interesting post. More to the question though, are there lots of other cats in your area? If so, the only thing I dont like reading is that your cat is declawed. That is the only thing that would scare me. As to what Josh said, depending on age, he will come back.

There's a few cats in the area. He's neutered though so I doubt this is a sexual adventure.

I think around 6 years old. He would leave alot for a few days at a time but the last time he never came back so I figured he must be gone or some old lady got him.

Have you checked your furniture or donated/sold any lately?

Sofa surprise: Cat found inside $27 used couch
Homecoming for kitty who was accidentally donated along with furniture

SPOKANE, Washington - The mysterious mewing in Vickie Mendenhall's home started about the time she bought a used couch for $27.

After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry calico cat living in her sofa.

The Spokesman-Review reported that her boyfriend, Chris Lund, was watching TV on Tuesday night and felt something move inside the couch. He pulled it away from the wall, lifted it up and found the cat, which apparently had crawled through a small hole on the underside.

Mendenhall contacted the store where she bought the couch, but it had no information on who donated it. So she took the cat to the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner.

Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat on Thursday after an acquaintance alerted him to a TV story about it.

Killion had donated a couch on Feb. 19, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time.

One time my cat disappeared and showed up on the window sill a week later. He still had his claws though, that would be what would worry me if I were you. Hopefully he doesn't try swatting an unarmed paw at anything larger than him.

But yeah, cats do this sometimes. He knows where you live and since he really doesn't have a way of catching his own food now, he will be back when he is hungry.

My cat has been gone for seven days now. She only stayed out for 24 hours once, the first time we let her out after bringing her home. two years later and she's never been gone for more than 3-8 hours at a time.

I feel ya, OP.

Does it have to be federalized? I mean I don't want side markers in the body.
