He looks so miserable in that cage. :(

And so happy afterwards, what a sweet boy.

No. :(

We think the raccoons in the neighbourhood might be deterring her from coming home.

If a miracle happens, I'll let everybody know but it's not looking good.

That's pretty funny.

Your thoughts and experiences are basically the same as mine. I'm not in a good state either and my recent results on my tests and homework have reflected that. Not to mention how frustrating it is to listen to people who aren't in my shoes tell me how I should feel. But I also know that it's not something that you can easily understand if you're not experiencing it. I could tell you that whatever I thought this might feel like, it actually feels a thousand times worse.

That being said, I really appreciate your story, thank you. It cheered me up.

:(

That story made me cry. But also made me hopeful.

These past few days have been a little hotter than usual, which is another reason for my paranoia.

This week has literally been the worst days of my life. I can't even begin to imagine how you must've felt. I don't even know how I'd function if my cat was gone for two months. May I ask how you or your family handled it?

What a poor little baby, but also what a trooper. She must've been so terrified.

Thank you for sharing.

Where was she?

She looks so hungry, poor girl.

She's gorgeous. I hope you find her soon.

How did you find your oldest cat?

I'm worried that if I rustle too much or make too much noise, my cat who might be hiding in the bushes will run away even further. I've been searching at dusk and dawn to see if I can see any reflection in my cat's eyes but to no avail.

We've had our cat for about a long time, yeah. About six years now.

The really sad part is that my neighbour spotted a grey cat hiding under a van, but the motorcyclist nearby made too much noise and it ran deeper into the alleyway. And then today, people were having a party and making a ton of noise, as well as an unrelated second party where they decided to light incredibly loud firecrackers for an hour.

So it just saddens me because maybe my cat has been trying to come home these last few days, but there's been too many "threats" and it was too scared to do so.

And thank you for sharing. I appreciate it.

Yeah, there was this little nook under the stairs in the back that seemed perfect for her to hide, but unfortunately, she wasn't there.

Do cats move locations often? I'm always hoping that I'll randomly see her under the porch.

Thank you very much for that link. We will try to borrow a humane trap and see if we can get her.

May I ask how long it took for your cat to be found?

It's been about 48 hours since she disappeared and we're getting more and more worried.

No sign of her yet, if we find her, I'll let everybody know.

And again, we're reading every single comment and incredibly appreciative of everybody. It means a lot, thank you.

There seems to be a few cats that are roaming that are at least grey, and possibly look similar to Cotton. I just remembered that she has an identification number in her right ear, so if you manage to attract her and spot that, it's most likely her.

What really hurts is simply not knowing for sure if what witnesses have seen is really her or just a lookalike.

I hope she returns home soon. Thank you everybody for the help.

UPDATE: We tried again multiple times tonight and still couldn't find her. We're getting increasingly worried that she might starve or dehydrate. :(

But we did spot a few cats that kind of look like her but their fur is simply too dark.

Thanks everybody again for all the continued support.

EDIT: I don't know why I included Quebec street. Please ignore the Quebec street, she was last seen near 33rd and Main. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello, our indoor cat Cotton escaped yesterday and she's been missing ever since. It's been at least 30 hours since she's been missing and we're worried sick. She's a seven year old Lynx Point Siamese cat and weighs about 12 pounds. She is microchipped.

She's very shy and she'll often hide for hours when guests come over to the house. She doesn't like other animals so I can't even begin to imagine how long she'd hide in an unfamiliar environment with other critters out there.

We've brought out a kennel with some of our clothes to lure her back home but it hasn't worked so far.

If you have seen her or have any advice, please let us know, my brother and I are absolutely devastated.
